since i started living in switzerland, i've seen all different kinds of shit go down lol, but I've never been so shocked as today.

have y'all heard about the new rule regarding how money will be given to refugees? dude it's so outrageous, so they have agreed on a new rule in kanton aargau.
which is: physical money will not be given to refugees in the asylum, they will give migros gutscheine?? how will they be able to buy a bus ticket? how will they be able to go to the barber? or buy medication that isn't supported by the krankenkasse? many people dont eat meat from those grocery stores they buy their food from the turkish/balkan stores.

i mean, i know that everyone hates AG lol, but the people in AG never fail to amaze me.
they are so racist they don't even see refugees as humans with basic human needs, im utterly shocked.

also i didn't post this to argue about basic human rights with braindead people, it's just to inform y'all about this because i know many people don't know about how badly refugees are treated in switzerland.

  2. get a job or leave. People should be thankful they are getting those gutscheins.

  5. All first world countries are doing this and have been for years. Its nothing new.

  6. Provide a source or GTFO. 
    AFAIK they will get a debit card instead of cash. 

  7. Damn that’s horrible, only free coupons for stores. What’s next, free accommodation without king size beds?

  8. Finally a W for AG

    The disappointing part is that we accept refugees from outside of Europe.

  9. Switzerland is treating refugees badly? LOL. Free housing, free money for food, free language education, etc.
    Poor poor refugees have to shop in Migros and can’t spend the free money in Germany or France.

  11. I truly recommend you to leave Switzerland and go to a country where they don’t do this. Your life will be better there! Source: trust me bro.

  12. Thank you for not mentioning the content in the title. Will probably get the post removed.

    Not sure how you get informed. Maybe tell us what’s your concern?

    It’s a payment card, not Migros coupons.

  13. Asylum isn’t there to promise a better life to people from various origins, it’s there to provide an emergency shelter for people who are in danger.

    Cards are the default everywhere, Austria, Germany.. isn’t it normal that you tell someone what you use their money for if you ask for help?

  15. **No, Aargau isn’t switching “all refugees” to Migros gift cards. It’s moving toward a general-purpose payment card for people in the asylum system.**

    Aargau’s parliament just voted (74–59) to replace the daily cash allowance for people in the asylum system with a personalized payment card (“Bezahlkarte”). It’s not a Migros-only voucher. The government has already said two guardrails are needed: the card must work across cantons and there must remain a limited cash-withdrawal option.

    OP: you have joined the legions of misinformationistas. Wild how quickly that sneaks up on even the best intentions.
