The referenda reflect the determination of a majority of Swiss voters to preserve Swiss traditions and values in the face of runaway multiculturalism and the encroachment of political Islam.
Switzerland now joins Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands and Sweden, all of which currently have full or partial bans on religious and non-religious face coverings. In Switzerland our tradition is that you show your face. That is a sign of our basic freedoms. Walter Wobmann, member of the Swiss People s Party, the biggest political party in Switzerland. Some Muslims also understood that the
niqab is a clear symbol of radical Islam. Jean-Luc Addor, member of the Swiss People s Party.
