In Switzerland three times „no“ against the environmentalism of way<\/h1>\n

The Swiss rejected the initiatives on pesticides and water and the new CO2 law, while accepting the norm to fight terrorism and COVID aid.<\/em><\/h3>\n

The voting session of June 13 in Switzerland<\/strong> <\/a>ended with a result of „two to three“, in full European Football Championship style, therefore with a defeat of the initiativists and, in particular, of the environmentalists.
\nThe Swiss people rejected the two initiatives on pesticides and drinking water as well as the new CO2 law, while they accepted the regulation on police measures for the fight against terrorism as well as the legal basis for the management of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Greenhouse gases, rejected without appeal, especially in rural areas<\/h4>\n

After three years of debates in Parliament and a campaign that divided both the economic world and the climate movement, the new CO2 law was rejected at the polls.
\nThis came as a bit of a surprise, considering the advantage of those in favor in the polls, especially since the text was rejected by 51.6% of voters.
\nIt was the more rural cantons that tipped the scales. Participation in the vote was 58.9 percent of those eligible.
\nThis is a victory for the oil and transport industry and above all for the Centre Democratic Union (UDC, conservative right), the only party to oppose the revision in parliament.<\/p>\n
