Egyptian investor Samih Sawiris (63) criticized Swiss measures against the crown pandemic. “Billions are lost for a few hundred fewer deaths,” he told “SonntagsZeitung.” With that, the head behind the Andermatt resort has been heavily placed on the nettles.
The waves of outrage have increased on Twitter. And at SPICK, the old SP national councilor, Franco Cavalli (77), reported indignantly. “This statement is outrageously obscene,” says the Ticino oncologist. “Sawiris represents a very cynical capitalist philosophy here.” As a cancer doctor, I knew it was always worth fighting for, even if there was “just a ray of hope.”
Ticino hit worse
Cavalli’s anger also stems from the Ticino experience. “You don’t realize what happened here in the Alps,” he says. “Without the blockade, it would have been much worse in German-speaking Switzerland.”
In one of them, he agrees with Sawiris: the investor considers the financial loss that Switzerland accepts as a paradox, if the billions themselves could save thousands of lives in other parts of the world. However, Cavalli does not accept the argument: “It is precisely the mentality that puts the economy first that leads to such an unethical world order.”
