What are the Swiss most addicted to?

Our regular ‘Did you know?’ series told the true tale of Bern’s Kindlifresserbrunnen – which literally means Fountain of the Eater of Little Children. The statue, which sits in the middle of Bern, has mysterious origins. We delved into its mythical tale.

Addiction Switzerland released their annual statistics of what Swiss residents are addicted to. We broke down the figures, which showcase a rising binge drinking problem as well as the country’s love for one particular illegal narcotic.

On that note, we brought you the story of the Canton of Aargau, who are voting on putting in new citizenship requirements which would make it one of the strictest cantons in the country when it comes to naturalisation.

Finally, if February is feeling unusually warm to you, you’re not alone. The warm weather caused a hurricane which swept across the country causing damage and setting a record for the strongest winds in Swiss history.
