Signature scandal: Politicians must act quickly

It was a “crash that was announced,” says Daniel Graf, co-founder of WeCollect and the Foundation for Direct Democracy. He is referring to the revelations about forged signatures in the context of purchased collections for initiatives. “There have been indications of fraud for around five years. But I am surprised by the extent of it.” For Graf, before assigning blame and responsibility, the first thing to consider is democracy itself. And Graf is certain: “It suffered the most in this crash.”
