Well I _am_ Swiss.
You missed the part where we _voluntarily_ chose to enter into a contract with the EU that does in fact beholden us to EU laws.
We can go back on that contract, but breaking your word is something that people remember for a reason.
- criddell 4mo agoDoes the contract contain a section on breaking the agreement?
- BoingBoomTschak 4mo agoMaybe not a legally smart move, but morally... when was it signed? Perhaps way before some EU countries decided to stop enforcing their borders beyond the performative level? And since these agreements basically force countries (especially rich countries with socialist systems) to somewhat share the burden of that choice they didn't make, I don't blame them in the least.
- FabCH 4mo agoThese agreements do not force countries to share that burden. Freedom of movement for EU citizens. Migrants and asylum seekers don’t have the right to live and work in Switzerland because of our EU agreements. A migrant or asylum seeker living in Germany has 0 right to move to CH. We do have some asylum obligations from the Dublin accords and from global human rights laws, but those we can regulate ourselves separately anyway. EU doesn’t care. Countries within EU do it already.
- BoingBoomTschak 4mo agoAlthough you are completely right, some of these same countries also hand citizenship almost like bread.
