Actually, the ammunition depot in Mitholz BE should be cleared soon. A standstill caused by the decision of the National Council causes resentment.
Ad
the essentials in brief
- Standstill in the clearing of houses in Mitholz BE.
- A National Council commission had decided to suspend it.
- This causes great uncertainty among the population.
The standstill in the further clearance of houses around the Mitholz ammunition depot in the Bernese Oberland is causing displeasure. Since a suspension decision by the National Council’s Security Policy Committee (SIK-N) was made recently, 50 million Swiss francs planned for the current year have been blocked.
In Mitholz, the interrupted eviction caused uneasiness and increased a feeling of uncertainty, as the program “Schweiz aktuell” on the German-speaking Swiss television SRF on Thursday evening shows. The Ministry of Defense VBS is currently unable to buy any more houses.
You can no longer buy the properties, said VBS-Mitholz project manager Adrian Goetschi to “Schweiz aktuell”. This creates a difficult situation for everyone involved. This is also confirmed by IG Mitholz. The program mentions 51 people.
Standstill due to National Council decision
The reason for the current standstill in Mitholz is the decision of the National Council Commission. It is not the DDPS that is not providing any money, a spokesman for the department emphasized at the request of the Keystone-SDA news agency on Thursday evening.
With 11 votes to 10 and 4 abstentions, the SIK-N had suspended the advice of the Mitholz business for a maximum of one year on February 21st. The majority assumes that the variants of the evacuation have not been examined in depth enough.
