At first glance it looks like everything's all right there. But. The problem is that only 241 people live in this village today, just 25 under 20.

Residents of this village have launched an initiative to attract young people. According to village residents' plans, those who come to live in this village receive a cash reward.

Thus, a family of four can receive up to 70 thousand francs (about 60 thousand euros). But for this initiative, it is expected to be voted in a referendum.

This news came from the United States in Mexico, Spain, Croatia, Vietnam... After some buevadeske media wrote about this idea, the village municipality was bombed with about 3,000 e-mail requests, SMS, Whatsapp or Facebook, Beat Jost related.

The problem in all of this history is that media have distorted the project”, says Beat Jost, who is a journalist himself. “This has led many who are looking for a new prospect of living to dream of coming to our village. But, it's about an initiative, which has not yet been approved by referendum”!

Nor has the reward been written in the media according to certain conditions, that those who come should be under 45. Also, those selected must live at least 10 years in Albinen, otherwise they must return the reward and invest at least 200 thousand francs (about 170 thousand euros). Besides, it should be for foreigners who want to settle in Albinen to get a visa.

So, out of 3,000 of what they've done so far, no one meets the terms.
