A clue in the Valais paper on November 18, 2023, was: “Swiss political party – racist, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-feminist, anti-ecological, anti-poor, nationalist.” The answer: UDC (the French abbreviation for the Swiss People’s Party).

Hmm. Do you know that party in question has been doing that, or are you just assuming that they do based on association with those right-wing figures you know of who do?

Because the latter is... pretty bad.

They (SVP/UDC) are worse... Here one of their posters (Translation: "Create Security")

Here another one (Translation: "Would you let leftist and good people destroy Switzerland? - Better Vote SVP"):

As you can see they like to shoot very sharp but can't take it when they are critized.

No I get they're racist fucks, but do they express disapproval when others go to court over defamation like this? Because the line above was not "the SVP are racist" but "they can't take a joke."
