There is no longer a solid block of citizens, Mitte President Gerhard Pfister (61) said on Tuesday in an interview with the Neue Zürcher Zeitung. SVP mastermind Christoph Blocher blew that up by positioning himself as a right-wing protest party.
Before Blocher, the SVP was a pragmatic party, similar to his own party, then the CVP, said Zug national councilor Pfister. The SVP and CVP saw themselves as part of an alliance largely led by the FDP and the business associations against the left-wing parties.
This block of citizens no longer exists. Anyone who talks about a bourgeois camp ignores political reality. It is remarkable that the SVP complains the loudest that these times are over. “It was their mastermind Christoph Blocher who broke up the civilian bloc,” Pfister said.
By transforming itself into a protest party, the SVP distinguished itself ‘sharply and loudly from the other parties’, which paid off for them. But now she expects everyone to submit to her, “that we will swallow all insults and stand loyally by her side.”
A large part of the base of his center party wants nothing to do with the SVP. According to Pfister, this is about decency and style, the content and the attitude towards the institutions. If there is overlap, the parties will work together. This should be done at eye level.
But that has nothing to do with a bourgeois bloc. We must say goodbye to this idea. “We are witnessing the emergence of a three-pole system. On the right the SVP and the FDP, on the left the SP and the Greens, in between a center around the center party,” said Pfister.
The fact that the FDP speaks of a liberal pole is their decision. The same applies to the business associations that supported the SVP in the elections for the Council of States in various cantons – usually without success. The question arises whether the economy really wants a solution with the EU. (SDA)
