SVP: Blocher shoots Peter Spuhler

Blocher fires due to limitation initiative against SVP-Spuhler: “Act selfishly”

A rejection of the SVP’s limitation initiative threatens immigration chaos, warns former federal councilor Christoph Blocher in an interview. He accuses opponents of the SVP of the limitation initiative, such as Stadler’s employer Peter Spuhler, of selfishness.

The SVP’s limitation initiative is a “win-win situation,” as former Federal Councilor and Christoph Blocher put it in an interview with Blick. “If accepted, then ‘thank God’ for the country. If, on the contrary, there was a no, then the SVP would gain momentum: “The opponents, the establishment, will be responsible for the gigantic immigration chaos that will ensue,” said the SVP dean.

As with the 2014 mass immigration initiative, there are “unfortunately” deviants in the SVP’s own ranks, says Blocher. The SVP’s best-known opponents to the limitation initiative include, for example, Stadler’s patron, Peter Spuhler, and Thurgau’s National Councilor, Diana Gutjahr. In an interview with CH Media newspapers, Spuhler called the limitation initiative “extreme and dangerous.”

According to his own statements, Christoph Blocher told Peter Spuhler: “You are only looking at your current advantage. What is bad for the country cannot be commercially correct. “When asked if party colleagues like Spuhler and Gutjahr acted selfishly, Blocher replied,” Of course! “

Christoph Blocher and his pension from the Federal Council

Former Federal Councilor Christoph Blocher recently sparked a heated debate in the media and in politics when he retroactively demanded his Federal Council pension of 2.7 million francs from the federal government. Unlike the Federal Council, Parliament’s finance delegation rejected this last week. But according to Blocher, the finance delegation “did not” make a negative decision. «I have made the legal claim. The Federal Council has approved it. I have nothing to add here, ”says Blocher.
