Imposing neutrality on legislative bodies would be harmful to democratic principle, says court. FMTNews
GENEVA: A Geneva court ruled yesterday that parliamentarians in the Swiss region could wear visible religious symbols like the Muslim headscarf, exempting them from a “secularism law” adopted by popular vote in February.
“Imposing total confessional neutrality on the legislative bodies” would be “harmful to the democratic principle,” the court found. The decision comes after more than 55% of voters in the Swiss canton in February backed the controversial new secularism law.
