The political scientist and environmental scientist has been committed to a cosmopolitan, networked Switzerland for years and has an ambitious climate and environmental policy, the statement continues.
The Greens are also competing for the seat
Co-chairman Nicola Forster described the candidacy as a statement for a diverse Council of States that should help progressive issues to achieve a breakthrough. “Tiana Moser’s foreign policy skills and years of experience in the Federal Palace make her the ideal candidate for the Council of States.”
While SP councilor Daniel Jositsch is back in office in October 2023, Ruedi Noser (FDP) is withdrawing from federal politics after 20 years. The Liberals want to keep the seat and are running together with national councilor Regine Sauter.
