Swiss media against aircraft noise opponents?
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2025 3:19 am
Nobody questions the importance of Zurich's core airport for the Swiss economy and society. It is controversial whether Kloten should take on the role of an international "hub plus" for southern Germany (Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria), which can serve as an export window to the whole world.
It is mainly Germans who use the services of their own national carrier in Kloten, whether as passengers or cargo customers. All attempts by Swiss politicians to enter into negotiations with the saudi arabia rcs data Ministry of Transport in Berlin on this matter have failed. The German federal government refused to enter into good-neighbourly talks with Bern. The green-red government in Stuttgart, which has made environmental protection its motto, insists on being allowed to use Kloten, which is why environmental and health risks are borne solely by the Swiss population.
While southern German politicians and the southern German media are determined and loudly campaigning for silence over their forests and fields, bourgeois Swiss politicians and most representatives of the Social Democrats in Switzerland have not shown the slightest interest in tackling the hot potato of "aircraft noise". Only a few left-wing politicians dared to speak out against the trend and for the interests of their voters.
