In the municipal Council was resistance without a chance, but now AL Green can celebrate a success. The Zurich district Council has today announced Friday, known that he picks up the new observation regulation of social head Raphael Golta (SP). In the spring a majority in the municipal Council voted in favour.
“The district Council comes to the conclusion that the current state aid act is in the cantonal Social no sufficient legal basis for surveillance,” says the district Council of its decision in the communication. In addition, it does not lie in the competence of the city, to regulate surveillance in a private adoption.
SP and Bourgeois wanted to set with the new observation regulation, the competences of the Tail in writing. Green and AL were disturbed most of all, remember that Suspects by means of GPS stations could observe on cars. In addition, detectives had been given the opportunity to observe private land such as building sites or residential buildings from the public space.
Golta takes on Canton in the duty
The decision to changes in practice, for the time being, nothing. In 2016, the city stopped the inspections, after the European court of human rights ruled that in Switzerland there is a clear legal basis for the Surveillance of the Insured is missing. Eight of the Zurich social detectives were not allowed since followed. In the spring, adopted the regulation changed nothing, because the recourses of AL and the Greens delayed the introduction.
The city Council has promptly reacted to his defeat in front of the district Council. Social head Raphael Golta see the decision as a clarification of the current legal situation, say it in a message. Now, it was clear that the city had exceeded the arbitrary regulation of their competence. “This means that, under these circumstances, no municipality in the Canton of Zurich observations in the control of social welfare abuse is allowed to use”, it means more. It is a cantonal legal basis is lacking, as we know. This could mean that, for example, Green could challenge in Adliswil the of the city adopted observation regulation.
That must change quickly. Golta is therefore the member of the Parliament in the duty: “It is the duty of the arrangements for the Observation according to the current proposal for the Revision of the law on social assistance as soon as possible in applicable law, and the municipalities of the opportunities for action in return.”
The cantonal security Directorate of Mario Fehr (SP) takes the decision of the district Council of Zurich, to the knowledge of how to say it in a message. It refers to the new social assistance act, the draft of which is currently in the consultation process. This provides that an Observation may take place during a maximum of 20 days within a period of 3 months and also the image recordings are permitted. The use of resources for the technical positioning of the surveilled Person is not provided for therein.
The ‘ Yes ‘ to the social detective of the law on the national level at the end of November, nothing will change the facts of the case, since it is two different things. When the Federal template was the Monitoring of insured persons, such as, for example, the recipient of a disability pension. In Zurich, there is the shading of social assistance recipients. (sip)
