The election of Elisabeth Baume-Schneider (59) as a member of the Federal Council turned the life of Mathilde Crevoisier Crelier (43) upside down. The Pruntrut JU municipal councilor ran twice unsuccessfully for the Jura cantonal parliament. And now she suddenly rose from the city council of the 6,000-member community to the Council of States.
However, the strong increase could soon be followed by another decline. Because in addition to Crevoisier Crelier, SP government councilor Nathalie Barthoulot (55) is running for election to the Council of States.
The SP hopes to secure the seat with the well-known politician. In the Jura, state councils are elected through a system of proportional representation. For Crevoisier Crelier, this means that she is in danger of being pushed aside by her fellow party member.
Attack center of the right-wing alliance
The former middle councilor of Staten, Charles Juillard (60), must also tremble. The alliance between the FDP and the SVP could be dangerous for him. A second government councilor, Jacques Gerber (50), is running for the FDP.
The SP and the Center have each had a seat in the National Council and the Council of States in the Jura for years. In the National Council, the SVP-FDP alliance aims for the middle seat. The previous one, Jean-Paul Gschwind (70), is resigning – the right-wing parties see their chance. Meanwhile, SP state councilor Pierre-Alain Fridez (65) wants to stay for another four years – and probably will. (lha)
