Mir persönlich ist nicht klar, warum jemand dagegen sein sollte. Zumindest wenn die Regierung es umsetzt, kann ich die Sitzgelegenheiten an der Straßenbahnhaltestelle Kirchberg – Aphonso Weicker für ihren vorgesehenen Zweck nutzen – zum Sitzen und Warten auf den Zug, anstatt sie als Bettelunterkunft zu nutzen 🙂

Some pressure groups and lobbiests understood that influencing/acting towards local policies is much more effective and cheaper than trying influencing national policies.
Picking up on some „divisive“ issues is even more effective and it offers a certain degree of free advertising. But this of course is valid also for the party in charge, not only for the opposition.
Begging for the most part is a symptom, banning it from certain areas just hides the fact there is a problem rather than dealing with the underlying issue.
The issue is obviously that begging causes its own problems and you have the added issue of the organised „begging gangs“.
For me it only makes sense to ban begging if you have adequate policies in other areas to better support those in poverty etc.
I support the ban on begging and believe it’s beneficial. Over the past years, the situation has been dramatic. It’s a fact and no need to hide this. However, last Tuesday evening, I was in the city center, and spotted a few individuals politely asking for money, which didn’t bother me at all. What bothers me is organized begging. I think that those protesting are inadvertently (or not) serving the interests of organized crime, and not helping real poor people.
Well not sure if it is acted upon. Or is it only the city? There is an old guy near Place de l’étoile who keeps asking money from motorists. Last time, I saw him making a fuss because no one was giving him any. What happens when he hits a car with a cane?
I guess nothing? No insurance from the guy.
We all know that organised begging was the issue. These people (protestors) have never been in the city with the same people (organised beggers) over and over again beeing aggressivly asking for money.
