It’s always someone else’s fault: Amherd has a knack for making the wrong agreements

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Just next to it is also over. Defense Minister Viola Amherd (61) seems to have a talent for making the wrong agreements. Almost everyone she appoints is controversial – if not gone.

Particularly prominent: State Secretary Jean-Daniel Ruch (61) of Security, who had to leave before he arrived. According to information from Blick, he could have been blackmailed.

Brother-in-law’s departure

The replacement, top diplomat Thomas Greminger (62), also stumbled before the finish. Apparently due to problems with the personal security check. And in the summer, the director of the federal arms company Ruag, Brigitte Beck, left. Now Ruag Chairman of the Board of Directors Nicolas Perrin also takes off his hat.

Perrin is the brother-in-law of Brigitte Hauser-Süess (69), Amherd’s closest confidante. The federal councilor will also lose Hauser-Süess at the end of this year. She’s retiring.

The retirement of the former right-hand men of Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf (67) and Doris Leuthard (60) will hurt Amherd. On the one hand, Hauser-Süss knows the Bernese power center better than anyone, but on the other hand, the two center women are considered friends. The question is how smartly Amherd will act if Hauser-Süss is no longer at her side.

Another boss gone

Amherd also had to separate from secret service chief Jean-Philippe Gaudin (61). This was hired by his predecessor Guy Parmelin (64). And according to well-informed sources, the magistrate could no longer trust him because of his behavior in the crypto affair. Nevertheless, Gaudin’s departure is another departure from Amherd’s era.

Army Chief Thomas Süssli (57) recently came under fire for overdramatizing the army’s financial situation. It is also said that his chair wobbles.

Amherd the Infallible?

All personal details have one thing in common: the blame always lies with those from whom one separates, while the Federal President does everything right. Fewer and fewer people in the Bundestag believe this. The following saying is spread behind closed doors: Even if the CVP is now called Center, its politicians can still have a good connection with the top. But only one in Rome is considered infallible on earth. Valais is not mentioned.
