Gathering for Democracy
In Switzerland, the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden practices one of the purest forms of direct democracy: the open-air assembly known as the Landsgemeinde. Citizens raise their hands, and the majority decides.
Assembly for Democracy – Once a year, democracy takes place in its purest form. The 500-year-old tradition of the assembly democracy lives on. The Landsgemeinde in Appenzell is one of the oldest and most direct forms of democracy in Switzerland. It takes place once a year in the open air.

It has once again taken me to a monastery. For the series “Deceleration” for ZNB magazine, I went to a place of retreat – a venerable little monastery right in the middle of the rushing economic city of Zug. It’s a place where you can take a break and relax.

Late August, on a Friday evening. Summer, they say, will be over tomorrow. Once again, no Estonian team has qualified for the group stage of a European competition. But that’s hardly a surprise. In Estonia, the main focus is on the national «Premium Liiga». This evening, Vaprus Pärnu faces the current leaders and champions, FC Levadia, in Tallinn’s national stadium. By coincidence, I met some guys from Pärnu and joined them in the away sector among 477 spectators, with around 60 loyal fans from Pärnu in the nearly empty arena.
Tallinn, Estonia 🇪🇪
