Exceptions for demos or Halloween

Nikab no, scary mask yes: The Federal Council presents a proposal for the implementation of the veil initiative with many exceptions. He also wants to allow masks at rallies.

The Federal Council changes its plan. Recently he wants to introduce a separate law for the implementation of the national ban on face coverings, which the people and cantons decided at the ballot box in 2021. Originally he had planned to elegantly accommodate the new regulations in the penal code. During the consultation, however, this proposal was criticized because the focus should not be on punishment, but on public safety and order.
