Not affecting the civil service in Switzerland. Young Greens are already opposed to the reform wanted by the Federal Council and which the National Set in June. While the Council of States must in turn look at the subject this fall, the party has already launched a referendum, he said this Monday.
“Although the army’s workforce is already greater than the law authorizes, the Parliament wants to massively weaken civil service. Six measures must make him less attractive and make his passage more difficult since the army, ”criticizes the party. However, civilists are doing crucial work in the fields of care, education and environmental protection, and the army staff are already too high, recall young Greens.
These also require the abolition of compulsory service. The obligation to serve leads to a forced militarization of society and constitutes a major attack on individual freedom, according to them. “It is unacceptable that young men are forced to serve a state that destroys their future,” criticizes Magdalena Erni, co-president of the movement.
Instead, the party wants a voluntary social service. It would be open to anyone residing in Switzerland from 15 years old, would last a maximum of one year and would be paid at least 120 francs per day. He would recognize the voluntary commitment and the work of Care, be flexible both in its duration and in its occupancy rate, and could intervene in key sectors for the company.
