He should have become the first State Secretary for Security Policy, but that is not happening now. Jean-Daniel Ruch, the current Swiss ambassador to Turkey, does not see himself in a position to take on this task, as Radio SRF has learned.
Shortly after his introduction as candidate State Secretary, he was in the news. He had liked a sensitive post on the short message service Twitter. He later explained it to himself, claiming he had not read the sensitive content.
The new State Secretariat for Security Policy belongs to the DDPS and is a prestigious project of Minister of Defense Viola Amherd. Today she will inform the entire Federal Council about what Radio SRF has learned from a reliable source.
Amherd had set up a search committee especially for the election of the Secretary of State. The vacancy is now being re-advertised. Before the elections, Pälvi Pulli, now head of the security policy department at the DDPS, was considered the favorite.
