Swiss psalm as a status symbol

Moreover, thanks to her, there is always one on the Parliament building Swiss flag. She celebrated success in parliament in Lucerne costume. In the “CH Media” report, she also complained about the Swiss people’s lack of awareness of tradition: “Some Swiss almost completely lack patriotism and pride in their own country.”
Fight against daylight saving time
