The Swiss People’s Party (SVP) has gathered enough signatures to call a cantonal referendum in Zurich on the planned development of a new red-light district in Alstetten, on the outskirts of the city.By gathering hundreds more than the 2,000 signatures needed to call a vote, the SVP hopes to block what it sees as the injudicious use of public funds.
The so-called “performance stalls”, set to be kitted out with parking spaces and alarm buttons, would be the first of their kind in Switzerland if the project is accepted by Zurich voters. The facility would also include an on-site counseling service for prostitutes.
Arguing against the drive-in stalls, SVP Alstetten councillor Ruth Anhorn said prostitution is a private matter that should not be supported with public money.
