It is nothing less than the “highest law at local level”, which will be discussed in parliament. With these words, the then President of the Large Municipal Council Daniel Oswald (SVP) started the discussion on the new municipal code.
Winterthur needed a new edition of its constitution. The reason: On January 1, 2018, a new municipal law came into force in the canton of Zurich. The municipalities had four years to adapt their constitutions to the superordinate law. The new Winterthur constitution should therefore come into force on January 1, 2022.
