Immigrant Club Calls For Removal of the Cross in the Swiss Flag

Country: Switzerland

Date of incident: August 19, 2011


The Swiss club of immigrants Secondos Plus demands that the Swiss Cross be removed from the flag of Switzerland because it "didn't correspond anymore to the multicultural Switzerland of today." As alternative, they suggest to go back to the national flag of 1799 which contains green, red and yellow stripes.
