In retrospect, no one wants to do it. But the fact is: when filling the vacant seat on the SP Federal Council, Daniel Jositsch (58), State Councilor of Zurich, received no fewer than 70 votes – even though he never ran on the SP’s official ticket. This caused red heads among the comrades.
SP co-leader Cédric Wermuth (37) is convinced: “About half of right-wing parliamentarians did not vote for one of the official SP candidates, despite promises to the contrary from party and faction leaders,” he tells the “Sonntagszeitung ”. . quote.
Wormuth threatens consequences
And Wermuth openly threatens the SVP, FDP and Center with consequences. The fact that they did not stick to the official SP ticket, despite promises, could influence future elections for the Federal Council. “A large part of our group will remember this when it comes to the successor to the incumbent federal councilors of the Center, the FDP and the SVP,” said Wermuth.
Wermuth leaves it open to the “Sonntagszeitung” what that actually means. It is conceivable that the SP no longer feels obliged to adhere to the fate of another party and therefore supports a wild candidacy.
SVP could be next in line
This could have consequences for the possible resignation of Minister of Economic Affairs Guy Parmelin (64). The SVP’s federal councilor has been in office the longest and could be the next to withdraw from the government. For example, if his party were to put up a ticket for the successor to faction leader Thomas Aeschi (44) and national councilor Magdalena Martullo Blocher (54), the SP could choose someone else.
Voices can even be heard from the center party that in such a case would indicate that there are also good government councilors in the SVP who are suitable for an office in the Federal Council. In fact, the Center has criticized the ticket system in Federal Council elections several times.
The ‘Sonntagszeitung’ also refers to statements by centrist parliamentary faction leader Philipp Matthias Bregy (45) that the parties have too much influence on the elections for the Federal Council: ‘It cannot be the case that there is a threat of a state crisis if a wild candidate is chosen.” (dba)
