Everything that comes out of his mouth at the moment ends up on the golden scale: “I still feel this war madness in certain circles today,” said Federal President Alain Berset (50) in an interview with “NZZ am Sonntag” – which has been criticized at home and abroad. abroad. And the majority of the SP faction was rejected.
The SP-Bundesrat told the “Tages-Anzeiger” that “the reactions showed that that was not the right choice of words”. When asked who was meant by “certain circles”, Berset added only: “I am talking about a climate of pure wartime logic, which worries me. It was never my intention to criticize any particular person or country.”
Berset was looking for an interview
Is it all just a verbal slip? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that? A week ago, in an interview with “Le Temps”, Berset spoke of “war madness” – making it clear that he also meant the political debate in Switzerland.
In addition, several sources tell Blick that the communications people of the Interior Service (EDI) were specifically looking for a medium in German-speaking Switzerland in which Berset could repeat the “war madness” statement. In the “NZZ am Sonntag” they found what they were looking for.
The EDI does not contradict this representation. It only says meaninglessly: “The Federal President continues to give interviews to various media – both in German-speaking Switzerland and in French-speaking Switzerland.”
“is an excuse”
This is not surprising for party leader Philipp Matthias Bregy (44) van de Mitte: “I am not surprised that Mr Berset placed the interview with the ‘war madness’ verdict in a targeted way. After all, almost nothing happens to Federal Council members and their staff by chance.”
Berset’s statements do not change anything for the National Council either: “It was not satisfactory: either President Berset acknowledges that he made a mistake. Then he should have apologized. Or he stands by his statements. Full stop! », says Bregy “To say it might be the wrong choice of words or misunderstood is an excuse.”
