Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal government could be faulted for not entering into a voting complaint based on alleged nullity of a Federal Assembly decree on an initiative.
Decisão extraída
The non-entry decision was unobjectionable because acts of the Federal Assembly and Federal Council in federal voting matters cannot be directly challenged or made the subject of proceedings before a cantonal government, and the alleged nullity of the decree was unfounded.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 189(4) BV, federal acts in this context are not directly reviewable; through a political-rights complaint, the substance of an accepted federal popular initiative cannot be reviewed. To the extent nullity could even be invoked, it was denied.
