A clue in the Valais paper on November 18, 2023, was: “Swiss political party – racist, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-feminist, anti-ecological, anti-poor, nationalist.” The answer: UDC (the French abbreviation for the Swiss People’s Party).

I'm not sure what it means by suspended, but many countries scale fines based on your earnings, so a "30-day fine" probably refers to approximately 30 days worth of earnings in fines.

Yes a days earning, at least 30.-, at most 3000.- per day, can be converted to equivalent time in jail* or equivalent time doing community work(4 hours community work = 1 day fine). at least 3 days, at most 180 days (more would mandate jail).

suspended means there's a trial period where the punishment isn't enforced and after which it can be fully or partially dropped if the guilty party didn't commit another crime.

And in this case it's 30 days worth of fine, how long the probation period lasts isn't specified. It's usually 2-5 years

*not going to figure out if jail or prison is the right term…

no, it means they are on a sort of probation for 30 days. if they cause trouble within that time, they will have to pay the fine on top of whatever new penalties they face.

Sorry. @turdas@suppo.fi is correct.

The French version of the article uses the term jour-amende which is precisely a fine based on a day's earnings.

I stand corrected, thank you for educating me!
