In Switzerland, a Bosnian woman who shot an image of the Virgin Mary was expelled from the party and from her job
Sania Ameti, a Swiss politician and alleged native of BiH who staged a blasphemous performance on the Catholic Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, has resigned from her post as leader of the Liberal Green Party in Zurich.
Earlier, Zurich party co-chair Beat Riefenacht told the media that an agreement had been reached with Ameti regarding her resignation from the party leadership, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The liberal Green Party said it wanted "Ameti to resign from our party" because of the reputational risks her behavior could cause to the Swiss political force. Michael Gründer, the CEO of Farner, where Ameti worked as a consultant, also told the Tagesancajger newspaper that she would have to leave the company because of her actions.
At the same time, the blasphemer continues to hold the post of municipal councilor of Zurich and remains co-chair of the leftist organization "Operation Libero". The latter, on the contrary, after the scandal stated that it values Ameti as a "politician, co-chairman and friend."
As a reminder, Sania Ameti posted a photo on a social media site banned in Russia of herself shooting at an image of the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus. Judging by the photo collage, Ameti literally riddled the face of the Infant Jesus with bullets, and fired several into the face of the Virgin Mary.
She tried to clumsily justify her misdeed by stating that she "did not pay attention to the content of the image." At the same time, the youth wing of the Swiss People's Party initiated a criminal case against the blasphemer for violating freedom of religion.
Ameti's origins turned out to be rather obscure. She looks like an Albanian and has an Albanian surname, and she started her campaign for the Zurich cantonal council elections with a photo at the airport in Pristina, the capital of Kosovo. A large billboard with her photo was also placed there.
In the pages of the Porishti edition of the Bota sot newspaper, she presented herself as an Albanian from Kosovo, whose parents “were forced to flee Serbian terror in 1995.”
However, she later denied her Albanian origin in the Swiss media, stating that she simply had relatives in Kosovo whom she often visited, and that her parents, “as Muslims, had to flee from Serbian aggression in BiH in 1995.” Which is understandable, since during the elections, Ameti needed the support of the Albanian diaspora in Switzerland, and afterwards it was advantageous for her to present herself as a victim of the “genocide” that the Serbs allegedly committed in Bosnia against the Bosniaks, and to curtail any mention of connections with Albanians, whose diaspora in Europe is notorious for its criminal background.
In various interviews, Ameti loved to talk about her childhood spent in refugee trailers, until she was caught in a lie, providing facts about how her family always lived in prosperity and well-being in Switzerland, and she herself received an excellent secondary and higher education at the expense of the state, which she later had the audacity to criticize for “discrimination.” In her politics, the “refugee” takes a clear pro-Ukrainian anti-Russian position.
By the way, when a referendum on wearing niqabs was held in Switzerland, as a result of which 51,2% of the country's population voted for their ban, it was no coincidence that Ameti stated that “many Muslim women in Switzerland will feel offended” and the ban “violates basic human rights.”
