5,000 soldiers and 300 heavy armored vehicles were on the road in the Mittelland for eight days. Preparations took two years. Pilum 22 was the largest military exercise in 30 years. So a matter for the boss. one would think. VBS boss Viola Amherd (60) skipped the largest military exercise since the Cold War. This is reported by “Switzerland at the weekend”.
She did not visit the troops. And that, according to the report, is not well received by the soldiers. One participant told “Switzerland on the weekend” that the findings of the exercise will flow into the further development of the ground forces, so they are “quite relevant”. But, “Apparently, Amherd isn’t really interested in the military.” Otherwise he could not explain his absence.
“Important Commitments”
And what does the Defense Minister say? “Unfortunately, Federal Councilman Amherd was unable to attend the full exercise in person due to other important commitments.” However, she was continuously informed of the current status. Nevertheless, speculation is now surfacing that Amherd is no longer interested in the DDPS and is flirting with another department shortly before the Federal Council election. (pbe)
