The Swiss Federal Council has proposed a ban on Nazi symbols and gestures in public, with violators facing a fine of 200 Swiss francs. This move follows an increase in antisemitic incidents in the country. The ban includes obvious symbols like the swastika and modified codes such as ’18’ and ’88’. Exceptions will exist for educational, scientific, and artistic purposes, and already recognized religious symbols similar to Nazi insignia will not be affected. The proposal is part of a broader effort to eliminate extremist symbols in Switzerland.
