Alain Berset tries his luck in Lucerne

class=”sc-3778e872-0 gWjAEa”>

Anyone who mentions this name during a traffic check has a good chance of an alcohol test: “Good evening, I’m Alain Berset.” – «Blow hard into the tube, please!» Now 18-year-old Alain Berset wants to test how great his chances are with this name in Lucerne politics. The young man from Buchrain LU is a candidate for the cantonal council.

His hairdresser is more expensive

The younger Berset differs not only in age from the current Federal President. In contrast to the 50-year-old SP federal councilor from Freiburg, the native of Lucerne is a candidate for the Young GLP. And the two are also visually different. You could put it this way: although the younger of the two earns significantly less than the magistrate as a polymechanic apprentice, he must certainly leave more money at the barber than the Romand.

It remains to be seen for the JGLPer whether his name is a curse or a blessing in politics. Only good, will not be chosen until Sunday 2 April in Lucerne. If one had to go to the polls on April 1, many would have wondered if someone had made fun of the candidate Alain Berset.

An actor is to blame

As “20 Minutes” reported about the young Berset from Lucerne, he has no connection with the comrade of the same name. «I got my first name from the French actor Alain Delon. My mother was a fan of his,” he says in the article.

He has no disadvantages because of his well-known name, so the young politician. Only: during the Covid crisis, his colleagues often joked that he should finally lift the corona measures.

The youngest does not fly

The Lucerne resident was infected by his mother Ursula – but with the political virus. His parents also set an example for him to take the environment into account. They hardly fly like him. – Unlike the original Berset, who already made headlines as a hobby pilot. (pt)
