Walter Wobmann

Wobmann has held an MP position at the National Council of Switzerland since 2003.

He is a member of the Campaign for an Independent and Neutral Switzerland.

[1] Wobmann has campaigned against minarets in Switzerland as president of the committee in support of the Swiss minaret ban referendum in 2009.

[2] In 2016, Wobmann has introduced legislation to disallow the wearing of the hijabs in passport photos; this proposal was likened to the French ban on face covering.

[3][4] This would change current Swiss law, which allows the wearing of religious headscarves in photographs taken for Swiss passports and driver's licenses, so long as the face is identifiable.
