Key legal question
Whether IN 136 respected the requirement of unity of matter
Extracted holding
No. The initiative combined too many loosely connected subjects, including privatization, outsourcing, transfers, status changes, organ changes, and real estate dispositions.
Extracted reasoning
Under art. 34(2) Cst. and art. 66(2) Cst./GE, an initiative must present an intrinsic connection and unity of purpose. The challenged text was a broad political program rather than a coherent proposal; several elements had only an indirect link to the main aim.
