Absurdity, hypocrisy, confusion: the words of the federal elected representatives are strong to qualify social life in Switzerland in this period of deconfinement. You can’t read your newspaper while having your coffee, you line up to get into your local butcher’s shop, you sign up to go to the theater, you have trouble seeing your loved ones in the EMS, and at the same time, we will demonstrate against racist violence, alongside more than 300 people, without anyone finding fault with it. This is not about values. It is the health logic of the authorities and the deconfinement system that are questioned.
