Almost two weeks have passed since the no to the CO₂ law – and the hangover mood in the city of Bern has still not subsided. A record-breaking 77.5 percent of the urban electorate said yes to the bill, the gap between the federal city as an eco-island and the country never seemed to have been deeper than last June 13th.
77.5 percent yes-votes: They are reason enough for the green parties to demand an even more ambitious urban climate policy from the city of Bern. Gabriela Blatter, for example, co-president of the Green Liberals, called on the city to set a good example now all the more.
