The cultural sector appeals to Parliament
With the online petition, the Culture Taskforce is calling on Parliament to close loopholes in the Covid-19 Act and simplify existing measures. With as many signatures as possible, the concerns of cultural professionals should be given appropriate weight.
The spring session of Parliament in Bern begins on March 1. The Covid-19 Act is expected to be discussed in the Council of States on March 4 and in the National Council on March 8.
The petition launched by the Culture Taskforce is addressed to all members of the Federal Parliament. For the past year, the cultural associations have been working to preserve Switzerland's cultural diversity by seeking cooperation with the administration and parliament. Much has been achieved, they write in the petition, but by no means everything, there are gaps and some processes are complicated and impractical: "We call on Parliament and the Federal Council to finally solve these long-recognized problems in the spring session!"
