Some of the difficult questions contained in Switzerland are being discussed as to whether a 25-year-old girl who had grown up in Switzerland could not pass this test, thus failing to qualify for Swiss passport.
Yilmaz had been born in Switzerland by Turkish parents. She applied for citizenship, but the state panel did not approve the request, with the reasoning that it showed no interest in entering into dialogue with the Swiss and its population. Of the things she didn't have very clear, the assessment panel singled out the memory of some local stores, or the lack of knowledge of a sport that is called in Switzerland by the name of "Hornussen."
For Turkey's president, Erdogan, Yilmaz said it is becoming more and more dictators. She relates how during interviews with citizenship she was asked if her parents had accepted her Turkish boyfriend. She said that her family was open and that she had never been to the mosque, while she had attended church several times.
Since the outcome of this case, the Swiss opinion has called for reforming the local system for naturalisation of citizens of foreign backgrounds. The newspaper Tageshanjigger writes that this process has taken an arbitrary nature and that it is not transparent enough.
A number of issues of this kind have attracted the attention of opinion. A Kosovo family in May 2016 had been refused an app for citizenship, as their neighbors complained that they were wearing very often sporting clothing and were walking along the town of Basel. The Kosovo family had long lived in Switzerland. / Metro
