Occupied properties are to be vacated within 72 hours and the squatters for trespassing displayed. This demanded on Monday the SVP, FDP and CVP in the cantonal Parliament. A corresponding proposal was provisionally supported. The opponent criticized the initiators of the project sharp.
The Parliamentary Initiative was directed unequivocally against the city of Zurich. There, squatting, and law-free spaces would be well tolerated for years, stressed the initiators in the cantonal Parliament. This is a policy concern for the untenable situations again and again to violent demonstrations and massive damage. “It is a surrender of the rule of law, when Naughty, rewarded, and Decent will be punished,” said Marc Bourgeois (FDP, Zurich). He wondered why he should pay for the Park buses, if there are other occupied for years, penalty-free in a property. “The government operates here, denial of justice in a banana Republic.”

spaces are calling on The initiators, that is, occupied real estate will in the future be vacated by the police within 72 hours “respecting the proportionality and the security”. A missing nine-exploitation or pending demolition or building permits shall not be considered as clearing an obstacle.
With 84 votes, the proposal was supported, finally, by a member of the Parliament provisionally. 60 votes are needed. A similar Motion of the SVP and the FDP, had demanded a time limit of only 48 hours, was rejected by the Parliament last summer.
SVP and the FDP would have been dogged in this topic, have criticized the Green, “and, unfortunately, the CVP is mixed suddenly with”. “The Initiative is a Lex Zurich,” said Laura Huonker (AL, Zurich). The proposal is addressed is clearly against the long-proven policies of the city of Zurich in the case of squatting. “You want to deprive the cities of all autonomy,” said Rafael Steiner (SP, Winterthur). However, the initiators had neither the people nor the parliaments of these cities.
vacant houses a 24-hour guard
The SP appealed to the required proportionality. “It is because, comparatively, to the rooms of empty houses, so the owner makes the later more empty” asked Mr. Steiner to the Council. Whether the police would have to guard these houses then 24 hours, so they would not be occupied again. Nowhere else in the police act were written to deadlines, also stressed Silvia Rigoni (Green, Zurich). And Steiner double after: “Not for break-ins and also not in the case of body injuries – for the clearance of vacant houses should be introduced.”
the initiators of the criticism bounced. If the leaders of the city of Zurich did not act, would need to do it to the cantonal authorities, stressed the SVP. “Neither in the city nor in the rest of the Canton the field of law-free spaces may be tolerated,” said Benedikt Hoffmann (SVP, Zurich).
Even if the parliamentary Initiative was transferred: In the case of the upcoming vote on the proposal is no longer a majority. In the newly constituted Council meeting, starting in may, will have supporters from CVP, SVP, and FDP is no longer a majority. (lop/sda)
