The reform platform can understand the desire to replace Federal Councilor Simonetta Sommaruga with a woman, but believes that candidates from SP men should not be ruled out in advance, a statement from Thursday said. The reform platform therefore supports the proposal of the Solothurn SP Council of States Zanetti.
Nice detail: The name Daniel Jositsch does not appear in the press release, but it is of course mainly about the current Zurich Council of States, which would like to become a member of the Federal Council.
It is also clear to the reform platform that the SP is “the equality party par excellence in our country” and therefore must always be represented by a woman and a man in the Federal Council, it said. And: “The reform platform considers the procedure planned by the party leadership to exclude male candidates as undemocratic and discriminatory.” (SDA)
