The people should not have to decide on the glacier initiative. Satisfied with the counter-project, the initiators withdrew their conditional text on Wednesday.
The indirect counter-proposal, adopted in the fall session, allows rapid and effective climate protection, they say in a press release. It also promotes innovation and energy security.
More than 90 Swiss companies have already adopted “net zero emissions” roadmaps, like what the counter-project encourages, rejoice the initiators. With the counter-project, it is above all SMEs, which generally do not have the means to make this transition, which will receive support from the Confederation.
Energetic transition
Landlords and tenants will benefit from the funds allocated to the replacement of heating systems and the energy efficiency of buildings, they continue. An energy transition that will create added value in Switzerland, instead of spending 8 billion francs each year on the purchase of fossil fuels abroad.
The counter-project also enjoys broad political support, from the PLR to the Greens. Only the UDC has announced that it wants to launch the referendum against the indirect counter-project. For beginners, this is not surprising. Once again, the SVP is stirring up panic and fear in a crisis situation, when common solutions and shared responsibility are needed, they criticize.
