The “No to the second Gotthard bore” association sent an invoice for 125,573 Swiss francs to the Swiss Transport Minister, Doris Leuthard. In theory, we should not have needed to collect any signatures against a second bore, because a second bore creates new capacity on a transalpine route. Such an increase in capacity is banned by the Swiss constitution, which means that a second bore would necessitate a change to the constitution. Such a change, in turn, would have to be approved by the people. However, the Swiss government is using the proposed change in law to avoid a vote on the constitution.
