| | Re: Aisha Mohammed was refused 4 times swiss citizenship! | Quote: | |  | | | She knows her fellow villagers have the final say on the passport issue, for what ever reason she has pissed them off, and continues to piss them off, seriously if someone branded you a racist in the press would you vote yes for them?
What goes around comes around, and whatever she has done has come around and bitten her on the arse, story over.
If she *really* wants a swiss passport she can just move to a kanton that is a bit less strict.
She's waiting so long anyway a few more years isn't going to kill her.
Like with so many of these 'stories' its what isn't being reported that is the real story. | | | | | Exactly, this is what it boils down too. It's far too easy to go about waving the race card when the fact of the matter is that having your citizenship granted by your neighbours is probably the fairest method possible. They're the ones best placed to judge if you've integrated well and they're the ones that to live with you long term.
Enough people get the Swiss passport each year to show the system does work (and I'm sure a few Pakistani's manage this too). It could be the community voted against her for the simple reason that she's an asshole.

| | Re: Aisha Mohammed was refused 4 times swiss citizenship! | Quote: | |  | | | As others have said if she leaves the country for an extended period of time (for whatever reason) she may not be allowed back in.
She feels Swiss and wants Swiss citizenship. She meets the criteria so I'm not sure why her motives need questioned  | | | | | i don't know what the legal footing of this is, but i read somewhere that Swiss citizenship is considered a priveledge, not a right. Therefore being able to tick all boxes may not be sufficient in all cases.
This is not just typically Swiss. I have friend who acquired British citizenship some years ago and he had some guys come over to his house and ask him all sorts of questions to gauge his general attitude, but they also quizzed him on his hobbies and sports and all sorts of things.

The first village we lived in here was one that still had the public vote on passports, then it was a secret vote, but they changed quite recently to an open vote, anyway, think about it, her peers are actively choosing to take time out of there day to make sure she doesn't get a passport, how much has she hacked these people off??? In our old village I don't remember anyone failing the vote (and it was an SVP village with a large turkish community) even people who where a bit of a pain, or had kids who where a bit of a pain won the vote.
how could you live in a village where only 22 people voted yes for you? knowing over 200 would prefer you buggered off, she must have some thick skin.

it's been a fascinating thread, thanks to all on here, but I still don't really know the full story, the summary link doesn't work for me.

What's the argument here? That her kids are "less brown" than she is and thus racism wasn't an issue for them?

Hardly enough data to draw any conclusions.
And before you say that's as much evidence as I have for them to be racist you're wrong.
Their wishy washy reasons about not attending festivals or saying hello are enough for me. If it was due to her claiming social (valid reason IMO) then this wouldn't be a story.
If it's because she's an asshole then she would be a perfect fit for the commune she's applying in.

I would assume you can give a whole list of reasons why you don't want her in, but for the press its best to give the crap reason
just under didn't go to carnival may have been
Stole neighbours car
shat in letter box
poured cat piss over child
didn't say good moring

Whatever the reasons, it doesn't matter, her commune has voted no 4 times, all the bitching in the world isn't going to make them vote yes for her, she's well and truly burnt her bridges in that village

Tom | | | | | yeah I know but I didn't want to dwelve into details, as most 100% natives are a citizen (and usually also a patrician) of some valley village in the same canton they live in but live in the urban areas, and the requirement to go to your village of origin to get social aid has been removed a few years ago, so village citizenship isn't that important anymore.
Although I guess it's relevant for the citizens of Moutier if the city switches cantons in the future.
