This morning as many of you saw, there was a post about the trash left behind during Balelec. I am by no means cautioning this, it is some disgusting behavior and should be punished.
I must say however, it has become a trend amongst a lot of Swiss germans (mostly on the internet) to say this is because french Swiss are not real Swiss, that we are dirty, we speak loud, we’re not efficient.
May I, for one, remind you guys how disgusting Zürich city looks after street parade? Yes, it does get cleaned soon after, just like the park got cleaned this morning. The Rhein river in Basel on weekend nights? Same issue. Area surrounding Reitschule in Bern? Not even gonna get started.
Second, should you also be reminded about what happened in Zürich center for the first of May demonstrations yesterday? I also frequently see people here roasting Lausanne because of protests, but once again, different cities, same issues.
The french speaking part of Switzerland has the exact same problems as the german speaking part. You guys are not some « superior » group because you speak a different language to us. Can you guys kindly stop talking about us as if we’re some sub-group of the country?
Sincerely,
A romand.
