Supporters of Switzerland’s Safe Food initiative have formally appealed against the Federal Council and Federal Chancellery, alleging deliberate misrepresentation of their proposal. The complaint, filed in Bern on Thursday, centers on the official information booklet distributed to voters before the September 27th referendum. Backers claim the booklet inaccurately portrays the initiative’s aims and potential consequences. They accuse the government of actively attempting to sway public opinion against the initiative through deceptive language. The group is demanding a full retraction of the allegedly misleading information. This dispute underscores the high stakes surrounding the vote, which concerns regulations regarding genetically modified organisms and imported foods. The appeal seeks to ensure a fair and informed decision by Swiss voters.
