The federal chancellery announced recently that the
freedom campaign
against biometric passports and ID cards was a success. The Freedom Campaign
itself has
a
press release on the subject.
Out of 64'064 collected signatures, 63'733 signatures were considered valid.
This greatly exceeds the 55'000 signatures submitted by the freedom
campaign itself, apparently, signatures have as well been submitted
by other campaigns.
Congratulations to such a great success! But the petition is only the first
step. Should a referendum take place, it must be won, and should it be won,
then alternative legislation should be proposed so we won't end up with the
same situation in a couple of years.
