Christoph Blocher: “Forces are waning”

Veteran Senior Vice President Christoph Blocher turns 80 on Sunday. “I notice that my strength is diminishing, for example my memory,” says Blocher in an excerpt from an interview published earlier on Twitter on Friday with the news program “10vor10” on Swiss television SRF.

He really wanted to retire from politics, the former federal councilor said. It hardly interferes with day-to-day business. The boys would have to take over now. “This is a new era that is coming.” And there will be no more initiatives on Europe in the near future.

He did so at the company, said the former Ems Chemie director. He withdrew completely.

Update: Faced with Blick, Blocher denies that he is retiring entirely “No one seriously believed that I would suddenly stand still and no longer defend myself from joining the EU and from foreign judges,” said the retiree.
