Switzerland rejects the “Green Deal” and “Global Warming” in a referendum. Especially the young people against it
The Green Deal to the test of the Swiss vote is put in the attic, indeed sent to that country. In the only country where citizens are called upon to express themselves directly on energy policies and so-called climate policies , they are sending parties to hell and rejecting a law already written by parliament. In concrete terms, voters rejected all three parts of a law in separate votes: on CO2, pesticides and drinking water. The vote rejected the measure with a majority not large, but sufficient, 48% to 52%, and, to a certain extent, it was the revival of the vote of the city, or rather of the progressive ZTL, against the vote of the campaign. However, we cannot speak of a vote of the old against the young, indeed it is the exact opposite: 60% 70% of the voters between 18 and 34 years old voted against all three parts of the ecological law.
This vote is very indicative. In the last political elections, the Greens had a flattering result for an almost new party, with over 13%, but it is one thing to vote for the Greens because they are fashionable or speak in general of the environment, a different thing is to accept the economic sacrifices that their policies come to entail. When it came to voting on a tax on fossil fuels and airline tickets, the voters sent climate change to that country. Furthermore, the vote was very lucid and targeted and not the carlona against the government: two initiatives, the first to give greater powers to the federal government to fight the post Covid economic crisis, and the second for greater powers to the police against terrorism, have had the approval of a large majority of voters.
Among other things, Switzerland accounts for only 0.1% of global CO2 emissions, while it is known that any agreement without India, China and the countries of South East Asia is just a waste of time and money.
The vote is important because it is the only time in which a European country has freely voted on these issues, carried in the palm of the hand by the rulers, especially if they do not have to answer directly to the electoral body. It could also be indicative of a certain attitude in the upcoming German elections. Green likes it as long as it's rhetorical, but nobody likes it when they put their hands in their wallet.
