On June 18, Switzerland will vote on the climate protection law. For Daniel Yule (30) it has long been clear that he will vote yes. “The law is not the perfect solution to stop climate change. But it is an important first step in the right direction. Switzerland has the means and the duty to act as a role model,” he says.

Yule is committed to the non-profit organization “Protect Our Winters”. He is also the main character in a promotional video for the Climate Protection Act. You can already see the Valais slalom topper in a starting house. Looks like he’s about to start a race. Only: when the camera pans away, you can see that there is no snow on the slope. “Give the mountains a voice,” they say shortly afterwards.

Swiss-Ski has no objections

Yule explains his political commitment: “In Switzerland we have beautiful nature. I grew up in the mountains and it is close to my heart to do what I can to protect nature. If I ever have children, I hope that they can experience the joys of skiing and that this will also remain possible in Switzerland.”

But what does Swiss-Ski actually say about Yule’s political positioning? After all, the Valais is not a follower of the ski circus, but last winter he finished fourth in the slalom World Cup ranking – he celebrated victories in Madonna di Campiglio (It) and Schladming (Austria). “Our athletes are free to express themselves politically unless it conflicts with the values ​​of the federation or the ethical statute of the Swiss Olympic Games.” This is clearly not the case.
