Image description

Federal Councillor Rudolf Gnaegi, head of the Swiss Military Department (EMD), is sure of victory when he throws his ballot paper on the Munich initiative into the ballot box on December 4, 1977. On this day, Switzerland voted for the first time on the introduction of an alternative civilian service for military conscientious objectors. The initiative to create a civilian service was launched in 1970 by teachers from Munich and submitted in 1972.
