The SVP group proposes Albert Rösti (55) or Hans-Ueli Vogt (52) to the United Federal Assembly as successor to Ueli Maurer. In the end, only one vote made the difference: Vogt obtained an absolute majority on the fourth ballot with 26 votes. Werner Salzmann (60) received 25 votes.
Obviously, the SRF’s “Arena” inaugurated this decision on Friday night. The two candidates were not included in the exceptionally live-recorded program. No wonder: the decision who got the SVP ticket was made in Hérémence VS. The road to the TV studio was too far.
«Vogt is very authentic»
The show was still emotional. She had a secret star in Rita Fuhrer (69). She was once unsuccessful as a candidate for the Bundesrat, but now chairs the selection committee of the Zurich SVP. And in this position he surprisingly conjured Hans-Ueli Vogt out of his hat – and promptly succeeded.
In a correspondingly good mood she answered the questions of moderator Sandro Brotz (53). And got very excited. “Vogt is very authentic. Very clear. He is very liberal.” He is trained to conduct negotiations and has experience abroad. As a lawyer in New York, he conducted difficult negotiations. “In English! He can.”
“He’s just!”
Switzerland needs people like Hans-Ueli Vogt, who is urban and super smart. “I think he’s the perfect, fitting extra person!” The decisive factor is that you don’t just have federal councilors with a similar profile. And closes her plea for Vogt with a loud, “It’s only him! It’s only him!”
