Switzerland's shameful vote at WHO
François Brutsch · Friday, 13 November - 18:57 edit

On a resolution to condemn Israel (and Israel alone) at the WHO, Switzerland didn't vote NO like Canada, the UK or Germany. Switzerland didn't abstain like Norway, Sweden, Finland and 29 other countries - or simply joined the 56 "absent".

Two questions to Foreign Secretary Cassis and the Federal Government:
Is this a mistake, for which someone has to be sacked (as it happened recently in Uruguay)?
Or is it a naked appeal to votes from dictatorships in the ill-considered candidacy of Switzerland to the UN Security Council?

Heidi.News présente l'occupation d'une colline destinée à l'extension d'une carrière à Eclepens comme "la première ZAD suisse", sur le modèle de Notre-Dame des Landes qui n'est pas devenue un aéroport grâce à une action militante. Le mot squat est certes un anglicisme, mais connu de toutes et tous. Le recours à une terminologie franco-française récente, même ironiquement pseudo-administrative, y ajoute-t-il quelque chose?
Mais surtout, la chose n'a rien de nouveau, elle est inscrite depuis longtemps dans l'histoire sociale et la mémoire militante. Et aussi en dehors des problématiques de logement ou d'urbanisme: l'occupation du chantier de la centrale nucléaire de Kaiseraugst remonte à 1975...
