Anti-Kosovar ads ignite fiery debate
“A Kosovar stabs a Swiss man.” “A Kosovar kills the head of social services.” These are not newspaper headlines but instead the latest set of newspaper ads the Swiss People’s Party is running ahead of the general elections in October. They feature recent crimes committed by Kosovars with an image of their ubiquitous campaign poster “stop massive immigration” showing people trampling the Swiss flag. It is causing an uproar in many quarters including the Swiss Conference of Bishops. Critics say the Swiss People’s Party is trying to get votes by demonizing Kosovars. WRS’s Dave Goodman talks to Ulrich Schlüer, a Swiss People’s Party MP from the canton of Zurich, as well as Ylfete Fanaj, who was born in Kosovo.

As a foreigner I have lived all over Switzerland and I am afraid because the Swiss in general are not aggressive and not use to crime on a large scale, a lot of foreigners look upon this as an opportunity to set up gangs etc. And take advantage of the Swiss passive nature.
Switzerland is a true democracy. Unfortunately it is true, it is a fact, a lot of crimes are committed by foreigners and Kosovos make up a majority.
It is the same in the U.K. again it is a fact that most crimes committed in certain parts of London are by Blacks. But due to political correctness and so called human rights, it is a crime to publicly state the facts.(u.k is not a democracy and that is one of the reasons why there is so much tension in the UK)
As a foreigner I agree with this in the face attitude , The Swiss need a strong aggressive party to defend their traditions and true democracy. I do no want Switzerland to end up like the U.K.
