‘OH TO be in Switzerland, now that lockdown’s here!’ Apologies to Robert Browning, but it looks like my residence-of-choice is the only country in our Covid-benighted world that has dared to question the authority of the government to impose (áp đặt) ever-increasing restrictions (hạn chế) due to the pandemic (đại dịch).

The power of Swiss politicians (chính trị gia) to impose lockdown has clashed head-on with the rights of individual citizens (quyền của người dân). A referendum (trưng cầu dân ý) has just been triggered to strip (cởi quần áo, lột truồng, tước, lột) the government of new legal powers to impose lockdowns and curtail public life. Under the country’s highly devolved direct democratic system, a petition of 86,000 signatures – well over the 50K required – will formally initiate a national vote to repeal (hủy bỏ, bãi bỏ) the Covid-19 2020 Act.
