Last week reminded us again: there are no superhumans in Bern either. There are as many mere mortals in power in politics as elsewhere, governed by all kinds of vanity and pettiness. This can be seen in a particularly sad way in the boxing game surrounding justice and the police.

Switzerland is an immigration country with the second highest percentage of foreigners in Europe and enormous challenges due to population growth. The free movement of people is coming under pressure. A wave of refugees sweeps across the continent. This entails gigantic tasks for social coexistence, including education, security, transport, housing and prosperity.

As the ministry of migration and asylum, the EYPD would in fact be a key department. Actually. Because something different is happening at the top than you would usually expect: the refugee ministers are fleeing. After Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf, Simonetta Sommaruga and Karin Keller-Sutter, Elisabeth Baume-Schneider now also wants to escape. The social democrat emigrated to the Ministry of the Interior and left her comrade Beat Jans behind after less than twelve months with a migration system at its limits, a record pile of 15,800 unprocessed asylum applications and an institution in crisis.

The anxious question arises as to what is going wrong in a state where one of the most politically explosive files is relegated to a punitive task for newcomers to government, while the political competition practices mischievous evasion – including the SVP, which is tirelessly calling out the asylum chaos its representatives do not want to dirty their hands in the relevant department.

This unspeakable chamber play, which is performed again and again in Rochaden, must be ended in the interest of the country. If necessary, with a departmental reform that combines the asylum file with a more prestigious position. The nation shouldn’t have to wait for supermen – or even hope that Beat Jans is one.
