The Swiss supermarket chain Denner launched a boycott of American goods in its 286 branches across Switzerland. Denner’s action comes in the wake of a call by the right-wing Swiss Democratic Party earlier this month for an immediate boycott of American and Jewish goods. The Swiss Parliament is expected to discuss soon whether to lift the parliamentary immunity of Rudolf Keller, the president of the Swiss Democrats, who may be prosecuted for urging the boycott.
