Farmers are angry about the gift from the farmers’ association. The association wanted to reward members who promote Swiss products at events with a small gift.
But when they look at the list of ingredients, many farmers lose their joy. Instead of a local delicacy, farmers were given pasta made from wheat from Canada and the EU.
The fact that the paste is shaped like an Edelweiss flower does not reassure farmers. On the contrary. The farmers’ union Uniterre has published a spicy press release. Title: “Who is making fun of the farmers’ association?” Anyone who reads the communiqué can literally feel the anger of the union members. We are talking about an ‘insult’, a ‘monumental mistake’. What the farmers’ association had done was “simply shameful”.
The criticism culminates in the question of whether the SBV no longer has respect for the farmers and whether it is still worthy as a representative of the interests of the farming families.
To restore farmers’ peace, Uniterre demands an apology and a promise that something like this will never happen again. The SBV cannot demand that the population buy local products – and then not do so themselves.
The chairman of the SBV, Center State Councilor Markus Ritter (56), scatters ashes over his head: They deeply regret the accident and “will of course be even more thoughtful with the next gift.” The mistake lies in the lack of sufficient information about the composition of the paste.
The farmers would have been spared this trouble if they had bought spelled pasta instead of durum wheat. Unlike wheat, spelled comes from the Swiss company where the pasta was ordered from Switzerland.
Ritter says the gift led to “some responses from the farm families who received the gift.” They apologized for their omission.
It leaves a bad aftertaste. Even the guardians of local delicacies are not immune to culinary mistakes.
