A Swiss People’s Party politician has been fined and given a two-year suspended prison sentence for racist and homophobic comments he made during the campaign ahead of the ‘Marriage for All’ vote.
Naveen Hofstetter, who’s a member of the party in canton Aargau first posted online that male African refugees want the Marriage for All vote to pass so they can adopt little girls and rape them. Then he spoke about homosexuals and their ‘unnatural partnerships’.
In court he recognized his inappropriate remarks and said he had apologized.
