| After reading your blog entries I changed my mind about the boycott to the OG proposed in the EU parliament. According to the proposal the head of state and other major politicians should be absent from the opening ceremony. I consider now such a boycott to be too clumsy, could be misunderstood and would unwittingly hurt the sensibilities of a great part of a CH people. I agree with you in that we should not ruin wedding just because we do not totally agree how the governor is running the town. Specially if so much effort, passion and expectation has been put into it by normal CH people. To do so would be a lack of respect from our part. There are better ways to express our disagreement on several issues and I think that they could be better expressed by being there than not. I also consider important to separate our opinions and differences with the government in CH and some of its policies from our view and perception of CH people. I consider it wrong to accuse them of just being brainwashed when their views do not coincide with our preconceived perception of their problems and feelings. Thanks to your blog I has been able to get a clearer view of what is going in CH people minds, how their struggle with the current problems and what are their feelings about them. |
