No contacts. No exit. No shaking hands. Hedgehog and persevere – until the virus is defeated. The Corona rules apply universally and for everyone. Together we are lonely, together we fight the pandemic. Unless your name is Kanye West (43). Then you get into your private jet and fly around the world. To talk about architecture.
–
Last week, the US rapper landed in Zurich and drove to Graubünden to meet the architect Valerio Olgiati (62). The celebrity looked at houses, dined with entourage in the top restaurant Casa Casutt, and played board games. Sounds harmless. Kanye West should not have been in Switzerland at all! As a US citizen, he belongs to a third country and is prohibited from entering the country.

Few exceptions allowed
In order to get a special permit, a person must be “in a situation of extreme necessity and must therefore be dependent on entering Switzerland”, it says in the directive of the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) of November 9th. One reason: “attending judicial or business appointments that cannot be postponed” that “require personal presence”.
–
Was that the case with West? The Federal Department of Justice and Police (FDJP) said on Friday to BLICK: “Whether the person can ultimately enter Switzerland via an external Schengen border is up to the border control authorities. They check whether the conditions mentioned are met. “

Kapo rejects SEM criticism
The authority passed the buck to the Zurich canton police. You are amazed there. “The federal government sets the rules, we have to act according to them,” said the Kapo on Sunday at a BLICK request. “The SEM instruction states in which cases a special permit must be issued. An exception must be approved, for example, if business appointments that cannot be postponed have to be kept in Switzerland. This was the case with the applicant. ”
–
Kanye West had requested a business appointment because of a planned construction project, a letter from an architect was enclosed with the request. “This fulfilled an exception rule of the SEM and we had to let the applicant enter the country.” One does not want to comment on whether the law made sense in the case.
–
“Federal government should tighten regulations”
Her boss, Mario Fehr (62), is more clear. The head of the Zurich Security Directorate says: “As long as the corona situation persists, the federal government should tighten this set of rules, including the exceptions.”
–
The whole thing is angry with the Graubünden SP National Councilor Jon Pult (36): “I don’t know what Kanye West did in Switzerland. But if he really just looked at houses and met with the architect, I find the special permit extremely annoying. A millionaire comes over and an exception is made immediately. “
–
Valerio Olgiati is to build two residential buildings, a private school and an entire city for West. According to “Bündner Tagblatt”, he will therefore travel to the USA to examine the building land. Will the Swiss be so easily waved through by the Americans?
