VBS can no longer buy houses in Mitholz
The Defense Department VBS can no longer buy houses as part of the clearance of the ammunition depot in Mitholz. The reason for this is that the clearance of the ammunition depot has been suspended after the National Council’s Security Commission postponed the decision on the CHF 2.6 billion loan for the clearance. This means that the CHF 50 million earmarked for buying the houses of those people who have to leave the village have now been blocked, as research by “Schweiz aktuell” shows. IG Mitholz criticized the decision in the strongest terms. This would once again put the affected people in a state of uncertainty.
