Swiss politicians clash over border controls after French and Italian riots

Swiss parliamentarian Mauro Tuena of the SVP is demanding stricter border controls with France and Italy, citing fears that violent riots abroad could spill into Switzerland. Tuena urges Justice Minister Beat Jans to introduce systematic checks, arguing that extraordinary events require extraordinary measures. He acknowledges controls may not fully prevent unrest but says they would identify who enters the country and deter potential troublemakers. SP parliamentarian Andrea Zryd opposes additional border controls, trusting security experts to adapt. She views the protests as a warning sign, emphasizing that social issues like high rents and premiums threaten domestic security, while the Federal Department of Justice confirms no current threat warrants border controls.
