Wobmann has held an MP position at the National Council of Switzerland since 2003. He is a member of the Campaign for an Independent and Neutral Switzerland.[1]
Wobmann has campaigned against minarets in Switzerland as president of the committee in support of the Swiss minaret ban referendum in 2009.[2] In 2016, Wobmann has introduced legislation to disallow the wearing of the hijabs in passport photos; this proposal was likened to the French ban on face covering.[3][4] This would change current Swiss law, which allows the wearing of religious headscarves in photographs taken for Swiss passports and driver's licenses, so long as the face is identifiable.[3]
