Too much attention is paid to Christoph Blocher. Swiss Radio and Television (SRF) recently devoted a full 97 minutes to the SVP elder – on the day of the Federal Council elections. In the book Christoph Blocher – Life and the Fight for His Switzerland, the former federal councilor talks about his childhood, Ems’s chemistry and his path into politics. For many years, documentary filmmaker Hansürg Zumstein visited the elderly man at his home in Herrliberg, ZH. There is also a lot of archival material.
The film received mixed reactions. At times you feel like you are in another edition of “Teleblocher,” wrote “Wochenzeitung” (“WOZ”). The Weltwoche saw it completely differently: Zumstein “does not avoid critical questions,” they read. What about SVP? She was delighted – and even promoted the film.
Already on the eve of the elections to the Federal Council, SVP’s father was again on everyone’s lips. On his Internet channel, he advocated the election of a wild candidate from the joint venture. All Swiss media immediately reported on Blocher’s “violation of a taboo.” The 83-year-old man has long been the most powerful man in the SVP. Maybe he still is. But should he be given a platform again and again now that he has officially stepped away from party politics? Actually, this comment is too much.
