Before the votesGerman-speaking people do not need to know the opinion of French-speaking people
Not a word about a deep Röstigraben? Citizens, including several elected officials, challenge the treatment of a poll by German public TV. Their complaint is dismissed.
When presenting the results of a survey on a national vote, can the public service conceal the existence of a linguistic gap, even if it is significant? “Yes”, replies the Independent Authority for the Review of Radio and TV Complaints (AIEP). In decision recently, it was not convinced by the arguments of the plaintiffs, including the national councilors Laurence Fehlmann Rielle (PS / GE) and Valérie Piller Carrard (PS / FR).
