Typically, the federal president receives about 30 letters a day, Eicher said on Monday’s “This Morning” program. Now there is much more: “In recent months the number of letters has multiplied. We receive thousands. “
Four out of five letters were about Corona. “Corona, Corona and again Corona,” said the Sommaruga spokeswoman. It is similar in the other departments. There are no typical letter writers in a crisis. “Some write that this is the first time they have written to someone from the government. That also shows how serious the concerns are. “
The tone ranges from friendly, appreciative, concerned, demanding, to angry and desperate. Compared to spring, the mood has now darkened. Shows some Corona fatigue.
For example, a citizen’s letter to the federal president, which was quoted in the radio report, read: “To be honest, my hope is gone for a few weeks. I feel abandoned, lost, and at times just plain angry at the inconsistent actions taken by the authorities. “
Another letter from the town to Simonetta Sommaruga says: “If we don’t stop, we will be fined or even arrested, and the business will be closed. Do you still feel what is happening to the people of this country? “
In part, experts are involved to create clarity, Eicher said. The letters are something like a seismograph of society. They also showed how busy the population is. “If, for example, the number of cases increases, the number of letters also increases and vice versa.”
