Waaaaaay down at the bottom of the article, you see this:

	The supreme court then stepped in and said that the previous decision-makers had not reached the appropriate conclusions. The court found that psychological abuse was also a form of violence, and said that there was no place for such behaviour in a liberal society. A person affected by domestic violence should not "be faced with the dilemma of whether to remain in the abusive situation or to accept the loss of the right to residence,” the court concluded.

Attention-grabbing headlines and all, somehow I think the mood of the average person when considering Swiss life would actually improve if The Local had actually led the story with the GOOD news instead of the bad.

BOOOOOO at The Local for stirring the pot even worse than we do ourselves on our bad days. Crap reporting is crap!

The Local is not a reporter, it's a person with a short attention span reading other news and regurgitating it.

The Local is a shoddy piece of tat which makes the Blick am Abend freebie look like a serious read by comparison.

Some of their reporting makes me wince.

Reporting? Or plagiarizing from other unattributed sources? I have yet to see a "The Local" reporter anywhere...
