On Sunday evening, 4,848 candles were burning on Bundesplatz. They are symbolic of that 4848 people who have died of Covid-19 in Switzerland so far. Around 20 helpers lit the candles. This is already the second such action in Bern: On November 20, around 3,575 candles were lit for the victims on Bundesplatz.
With the sea of candles, the two initiators Roman Bolliger and Simon Gehren want to give space to the mourning for the victims.
The two of them are demanding that “health be given top priority again”. After all, the fact that the number of infected people and fatalities does not decrease is not a natural disaster that cannot be combated. “It is a political failure, there is simply no will to define a clear strategy for reducing the numbers,” Gehren is convinced. The ultimate goal must be to avoid any death.
