Interesting approach, everybody else needs to save, but not the agriculture industry that ruins the environment.
booohhhh 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
“By a 187-2 vote majority” I’m surprised there’s such a majority, especially given it was against the federal council recommendations.
I know posting links with a controversial title and then being outraged in the comments is becoming the norm in /r/Switzerland, but in case anyone wants to take a look at the actual decision (of which the link makes no mention), you can find it [here](https://www.parlament.ch/de/ratsbetrieb/suche-curia-vista/geschaeft?AffairId=20240061).
tl;dr: The existing payments get adjusted for (expected) inflation and the structural improvement fonds gets a small increase in funds. No increases in direct payments or agricultural subsidies. This is a nothingburger, hence the 187-2 decision.
