The FDP may not

The FDP Zurich starts on Saturday in the election to the cantonal Parliament elections of 24. March. The party leaders, originally wanted to hike with 300 to 400 members by the city, from pike place to the sechseläuten square. The March had been granted, but for the distance of pike place–Bürkliplatz, write "20 minutes". Reason: The Sechseläutenplatz should not be for political events.

Hans-Jakob Boesch, party Chairman of the FDP, Canton of Zurich and a member of the Parliament, is of the opinion that it is not the same Ellen will be measured. "The politically-motivated 1.-May-Committee may use the space for its final rally. It must be all treated equally."

"1. May has significance beyond the borders of Zurich"

According to the security Department of the city of Zurich, there is no explicit prohibition of political events in the use concept of the city Council for the square. "It is rather decided on an individual basis on the authorisation of the event, wherein, in particular, its significance plays a role," says spokesman Robert Soos.

The constant practice of the city Council was that, with the exception of the 1.-May day rally may be held no political events on the square. At the final rally of the day the work was to the view of the city Council, the largest political expression of the inhabitants of the city of Zurich. "Therefore, it is also the largest square of the city shall be made available," said Soos. In addition, the rally also had a significance beyond the borders of the city of Zurich. "This meaning is not for the occasion of the FDP."
