The Swiss made the right decision, the Süddeutsche Zeitung applauds:
“If the referendum had passed, more than reducing the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation to the bare bones, it would have ruined it altogether. The SRG SSR is not just any media organisation, it fulfils a function in this ‘nation by choice’: it provides the four language and cultural groups with reliable information and, like the punctual railways, is one of the things that holds this politically complex country together. And plenty of savings have already been made, as decreed by the government.”
