Vaud and Geneva wants popular Vote about Fusion

Tunings to different points in time would lead inevitably to two small campaigns, said François Cherix on Wednesday before the media in Lausanne. " with it the debate would run over the region in the sand ", continued to say Cherix. The Waadtlaender government would like to already execute the tuning in June 2001, while this date for those is too scarce Geneva, since the initiative was submitted later there. A meeting with a delegation of the Waadtlaender government lets the Initianten hope however that still another common date can be found. Would be ideal according to the Initianten December 2001. Thus those would have Geneva their government elections already through, the Waadtlaendern would be them before. If the parliaments should need for the consultation of the initiative however nevertheless longer, also spring 2002 would be acceptable. Long way If the initiatives in both cantons were assumed, the fusion would be not yet perfect. With a condition advice would have to be selected. If the new condition was then accepted likewise, still another modification of the Federal Constitution and thus a Swiss federal popular vote would be necessary.
