In Ilanz/Glion, Switzerland, a heated dispute has erupted over the digitalization of parking meters. The municipality replaced traditional coin-operated machines with signs featuring QR codes, requiring drivers to use payment apps like Twint, Easypark, or Parkingpay. This change has sparked significant public backlash, leading to a petition signed by approximately 1,700 individuals demanding the immediate reinstatement of cash payment options on all public parking lots. Petition organizers, including Ingrid Albin and Berta Caminada, argue that the new system discriminates against various groups who are overwhelmed by digital payment methods. The situation escalated dramatically when Municipal President Marcus Beer publicly attacked the petition's signatories, calling them "irresponsible" and a "burden." Beer defended the decision by citing the high cost of new coin-operated machines (around 8,000 Swiss francs each) and stated that cash payment is still available at four to five locations. He has also filed a complaint for personality violation regarding video recordings of the petition handover.
