“So I can’t give you my vote”: Grandma advises not to vote for granddaughter (29).

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

It is a special kind of family feud: Sarah Regez (29) wants to become a member of the National Council for the SVP and has an opponent from her own family. The grandmother Marie Regez, as the “bz Basel” writes. She was an SP member of the Arlesheim BL municipal council for twelve years.

Granddaughter Sarah, on the other hand, is politicizing on the right-wing edge of the SVP. For example, she called Health Minister Alain Berset (51) a ‘dictator’ in a post related to the corona pandemic or wanted to lift all sanctions against Russia, as the ‘Basler Zeitung’ wrote. Yet she gave a speech at the start of the national SVP election campaign.

“I’m not voting for her.”

The grandmother now wants to stop her granddaughter’s National Council plans. Some people would want to vote for the granddaughter because they know the grandmother. Marie Regez then made it clear: “I am not voting for them.”

But now she has gone one step further: she has written an open letter accusing her granddaughter of a lack of solidarity and empathy. «The solutions you stand for are terrible to me: destruction of those who think differently, violence, war. Your opponents are your enemies!” The conclusion: “So I cannot give you, my dear granddaughter, my vote.”

Does it take advantage of its good reputation?

The grandmother said she was furious and did not want her granddaughter to benefit from her good reputation. But she doesn’t argue: “We don’t have such a close discussion climate for the time being.”

Sarah Regez did not want to comment in the “bz Basel”. There, personal issues are mixed with political issues that do not belong in public. In the meantime, the grandmother hopes that after the elections they can “talk to each other peacefully again”. (brother)
