Party in Switzerland makes white racial appeal

In the current election campaign in Switzerland, the Swiss People’s Party (SVP), the leading party in the Swiss parliament and and a member of the ruling coalition, is using an openly racial appeal against nonwhite immigration. Writing in the and the , veteran reporter Elaine Sciolino describes the SVP as an “extreme-right party,” while informing us that “More than 20 percent of Swiss inhabitants are foreign nationals.”

This article is all about a poster, yet the NYT doesn’t show us the poster, and they call the SVP (Switzerland’s largest political party), the “extreme” right wing party. As far as I can see, much of the European press simply calls it a “right wing” party or the nationalist party. They did the same thing recently when they described Belgium’s Vlaams Blok as “extreme” right wing.

We could tell immigrants that a condition of the green card is the acceptance of the responsibility for their children’s crimes. If they don’t like that condition, they are free not to enter the country.
