Editorial on Viola Amherd: Federal President with a worn-out apparatus

class=”sc-29f61514-0 dXbCZE”>

Gmögig is a typically Swiss word, perhaps the most Swiss word of all. For politicians, attribution is the praise of the people: those who are considered good speak the language of honest people, you can drink beer with them, and they still have “Aroma” in their kitchen.

Viola Amherd, member of the Federal Council and head of the Ministry of Defense since 2019, belongs to the exclusive circle of wealthy people in the Federal Bern. So far, two chapters of her presidency have been memorable: She secured the purchase of new fighter jets at the ballot box. And after the start of the Russian war of aggression, she demonstrated the tenacity of her position.

Otherwise, the Vale woman will become the topic of conversation in unsuccessful personnel deals. The most recent example is the fallen senior diplomat whom Amherd would like to appoint as Secretary of State. One day this man was sent to the Middle East as a special envoy to help little Switzerland prove itself as a peace mediator on the big stage of world politics. It’s just stupid that the person in question in the Holy Land cared more about love’s good offices than good offices. At least, neither foreign policy agencies nor law enforcement agencies deny such information. The Swiss brother frivolously found himself in the center of attention of the great powers – that’s all Helvetia’s foreign policy ambitions.

Now, behind the scenes, the Secretary of Defense was building a new Secretariat of State that she wanted to be regulated by nothing less than national security. She chose as her boss a militant ambassador, who was cleverly fired by the people of Foreign Minister Cassis. None of their senior experts had discovered his dubious side; A Blick journalist had to contact a Blick journalist to warn federal authorities about the hidden blackmail possibility. Then Amherd pulled the emergency brake and sent her general secretary into the desert.

Fortunately for Amherd, she is involved in politics in harmonious Switzerland. If possible, she can continue to stay here. On December 13, she is elected Federal President.
