The SVP wanted to prevent Volodymyr Zelensky from speaking before the Swiss Parliament. She failed. Now their MPs want to “skip” the Ukrainian president’s video message next Wednesday, as journalists carelessly downplay the refusal.

“Walking” is what kids do with their school lessons. However, the SVP is the largest party in Switzerland. Your national and state advisers are powerful women and men.

They wanted to thwart Selensky’s speech by arguing that it violated neutrality. In addition, they make parliament a “recipient of orders”.

National Council member Cedric Wermuth, president of the Social Democrats, describes the process as a “moral declaration of bankruptcy” by the SVP. As often happens, a comrade’s bullet misses: only those who have property, in this case political morality, can declare bankruptcy.

Prominent representatives of this party, which for three decades served as the recipient of orders from its owner, know no boundaries to the right – the brown line. Her most awkward screamer even recently broadcast propaganda selfies from Moscow’s Red Square to get as close as possible to his homage to the Kremlin’s criminal, the Fuhrer.

In this gloomy light, the current behavior of the SVP seems quite logical: listening to the Ukrainian Churchill Vladimir Zelensky would be a betrayal.

It is nothing less than the ability to listen: the democratic virtue of curiosity is what those who think differently should say. In the case of Selensky, about the hardships of his battered country, which is systematically bombed by a dissolute ruler, whom this trained swindler from the special services cannot defeat by military means, but therefore would like to wipe out from the face of the earth.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants to send a message to Swiss politicians: a message of a nation in dire need, a message of resistance without fickleness, a message of defending democracy and fighting for freedom.

A message from the Ukrainian people to the Swiss people!

A party that calls itself the People’s Party and even sees itself as the embodiment of the people does not want to hear a cry for help from the existentially oppressed people of Ukraine: their president must not speak – and if he does, their parliamentarians turn a blind eye.

democrats?

No, the SVP does not declare its democratic or moral bankruptcy, because neither democracy nor morality are among the cultural values ​​of its policy.

No later than next Wednesday, anyone who chooses it will no longer be able to claim they didn’t know.
