Should asylum claims be processed faster with free legal aid?

AI-generated summary, admin reviewed: This reform aimed to process most asylum applications in federal centres within 140 days. Officials, accommodation services and other participants in the procedure would be located together to reduce delays. Because appeal periods would also be shorter, asylum seekers would receive free legal advice and representation. Supporters argued that faster decisions would benefit applicants, reduce uncertainty and lower public costs while legal assistance would preserve fair procedures. Opponents criticised the cost of providing lawyers, the concentration of applicants in federal centres and reduced local influence over the construction of those centres. Swiss voters approved the reform.
