Thomas Aeschi (41) speaks to the Federal Council. The leader of the SVP parliamentary group has sent several representatives of the Zug association and politicians in which he claims that SVP federal councilors Guy Parmelin (61) and Ueli Maurer (70) opposed the crown measures under discussion in the government . “I would definitely decline,” says VIEW’s email.
The excess of zeal of the National Council scratches the principle of collegiality. Also, based on the information in VIEW, this representation is incorrect. According to various sources, the decision was supported by all federal councilors. For example, no Federal Council wrote an alleged joint report before the meeting in which the measures were rejected. Maurer only submitted a joint report that raised some practical questions, two people say.
I just want to affirm the rejection
But why does Aeschi keep providing information in the way described? When asked by VIEW, Aeschi didn’t mean the quoted passage that way. In his letter he had confirmed the well-known critical stance of Mr. Parmelin and Mr. Maurer. “I am convinced that our two federal advisers will not support the measures in their current form.”
However, the reader gets the impression that the two SVP Federal Councilors have been reluctant to send the proposed measures to the cantons for consultation.
Group leaders criticize Aeschi
The behavior of the leader of the SVP parliamentary group also causes a fire under the roof of the Bundestag building. The other leaders of the parliamentary group hate Aeschi: “That doesn’t work!” Says Andrea Gmür-Schönenberger (56), president of the center group. “It would be time for the SVP, as the ruling party, to take its responsibilities seriously. The judges’ elections already showed how the SVP does not respect our institutions. He really seems to want to push our entire political system against the wall. “
SPler Roger Nordmann (47) also finds: “With his behavior, Thomas Aeschi becomes a problem for Switzerland.” In the midst of the crisis, the SVP is undermining the government. At the same time, says Aline Trede (37), head of the Green parliamentary group, it is now more important than ever for the Federal Council to appear as a unit.
The FDP is also amazed
The FDP also shakes its head. “I do not believe in speaking publicly about who has more or less clearly supported the decision of the Federal Council on possible new measures.” says Beat Walti, head of the liberal parliamentary group. “That does not correspond to our principle of collegiality.”
