If we are denied the right to continue using cash as a means of payment, we can no longer talk about freedom and sovereignty. This is not a minor issue, as proponents of total digitization and the disappearance of cash might have us believe, but one of enormous significance today. The more steps are taken to promote electronic payments and digital standardization, the more we must encourage and defend the continued use of physical money.
When we hear that increasing number of countries are enshrining in their own constitutions the right of citizens to keep cash, we know that there is still hope. When citizens freely express their choice, we know that people have not yet been completely seduced by the “benefits” of the new tyranny whose tool is digitization, that the fight for freedom has not yet been lost. Yes, there is still hope.
In just a few days, the Swiss will also decide whether the right to use cash should be protected by the country’s constitution. This will happen on Sunday, March 8, when a referendum will be held in Switzerland in which, according to opinion polls, at least 60% of Swiss citizens will vote to make the use of physical money in commercial transactions a constitutional right. This is not a piece of news to be mentioned under “miscellaneous,” but one that is very relevant in the current context of the struggle for sovereignty and against the new totalitarianism.
There has been talk of a popular consultation on this matter in Swiss society since early 2023, when a civic group announced that it had gathered enough signatures to organize a referendum, a significant step toward preventing the disappearance of cash from the economy. Legislatively, the vote in both houses of Parliament in March and June last year in favor of the Federal Council’s proposal (a different version from the previous civic initiative) to protect the use of cash, namely the national currency, was decisive.
The outcome of this referendum is all the more important given that digital payments have also increased significantly in Switzerland in recent years, surpassing payments made by “traditional” means. However, the Swiss have a very good understanding of the importance of keeping banknotes and coins in circulation and using them, and the need to enshrine this essential right in their national constitution.
Switzerland is not an exception. Similar constitutional changes took place in Slovakia in 2023, in Hungary and Slovenia last year, and today this right is clearly stipulated in the fundamental laws of all these countries. Others will certainly follow their footsteps and adopt similar decisions. More and more peoples are waking up. More and more peoples are refusing to bow to freedom-destroying propaganda and are offering constitutional protection to rights and freedoms that the political left would like nothing more than to abolish!
The globalist establishment would like all payments and financial transactions, whether involving individuals or companies, to be made by bank transfers or plastic cards. The argument is always the same: electronic transactions are “secure” and “fast.” How naive can you be to still believe that online payments are “secure” when banking fraud and cyberattacks are everywhere?
It’s not really about security, so-called confidentiality, or privacy protection, but rather a very effective tool for control and mass surveillance. Electronic transactions mean a complete lack of autonomy.
When you carry out all your financial transactions digitally, freedom becomes a lie—or at best, a myth. How hypocritical is the rhetoric of those who glorify card payments and consider cash an obsolescent method that must therefore disappear! True progress does not mean abolishing everything that has existed and worked until now and replacing it with something that brings neither security nor, certainly, freedom. This is willingly accepting slavery.
A society that has abolished cash is a society without freedom. Why would you give up your own freedom?
