The vast majority of Geneva citizens today supported the banning of hate symbols, especially Nazi symbols, in public places, the first results of today's vote on the issue.
Only the canton of Geneva, in Switzerland, voted on the proposal of such a law.
According to the first official results, about 85 percent of citizens approved the ban on "displaying or wearing" symbols of hatred in public places.
Such a ban is already under debate at the federal level, based on a proposal voted on by Swiss lawmakers in April.
This obliges the government to create a legal basis through a special law that regulates the prohibition of the public use and dissemination of Nazi symbols or variations of those symbols.
Geneva became the first canton to vote for the banning of hate symbols, and after voting in all cantons, the law will be decided at the federal level.
