The Department of Security and Justice of St. Gallen commissioned the Association of Animal Factories (VgT) to grant a rally of 500 francs. False, the Federal Supreme Court found.
The Association against Animal Plants (VgT) successfully withstood the Federal Court of Justice against the Department of the security and justice of St. Gallen. In July 2016 he had charged 500 francs for the grant of a rally. On his homepage, the VgT writes "inadmissible cost chicane". The Federal Court justifies its decision by stating that only a modest office tax of up to 100 francs is constitutionally consistent in granting freedom of assembly.
Looted Rabbits Breeder
On July 17, 2016, Erwin Kessler and his VgT posted themselves at the Freihof in Gossau. There they denounced a couple of St. Gallen pensioners who are raising rabbits in rabbits and keeping them in boxes. The retired couple was at the concert "Frühhof" this Sunday morning at the "Freihof", where the man was playing trombone. Protesters put the rabbit breeder with his full name and address on banners and leaflets in the pillory.
Already in the run-up to action, the VgT had criticized the "massively outraged" licensing fees. Erwin Kessler is injured in his fundamental rights and has complained to the Administrative Court of St. Gallen. Animal rights advocates have called on the Department of Security and Justice to set the fees for the actual administrative burden, but not more than 80 francs. The administrative court dismissed the appeal, but after the decision of the Federal Court now again on the case. In addition, the canton of Erwin Kessler has to compensate the federal court proceedings with 2000 francs.
"Hart on the frontier"
Compared to the "NZZ am Sonntag" the director of security and justice of St. Gallen said that the fee can not exceed 100 francs. Since the case is again before the administrative court and, therefore, it is an ongoing proceeding, the ministry makes no comment on this. In the Canton of St. Gallen, royalties for rally licenses were still collected under the principle of cost recovery and equivalence. However, the decision of the Federal Court will be respected and the fees will be charged in accordance with the relevant requirements in the future.
"It was not really worth 500 francs, but to protect our fundamental rights."
Erwin Kessler "NZZ on Sundays". At the demonstration two years ago, he admitted to our newspaper that the campaign was "hard on the border". But the personality rights of the rabbit breeder would not be violated. Passersby took action with mixed feelings. Some took information and looked for the conversation. Others have criticized the actions of the VGT or made fun of the protesters.
