Letter: Sense of Swiss ban on transit lorries
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Anyone who has watched the mutilation of the belly of Mont Blanc through the spectacular Chamonix Aosta valley over the past 30 years will thank the Swiss people of Uri from the bottom of their hearts, not only for saving part of their own heritage, but also for showing the rest of us that they could have their own say without the interference of politicians.
Yours faithfully,
