3/75. «Irlandisation du Jura»
Political report (RP)
An overall majority of the electors in the Jura voted for the establishment of a new Canton, but three southern districts and the small district Laufen voted to stay with Berne. The election campaigns have generated an alarming number of acts of violence, intimidation and boycott on a scale previously unknown in Switzerland, and the «Catholic-Protestant» controversy reminds one of the situation in the North of Ireland.
