Mariawegelin resigned from her position as president of the SVP Winterthur on Tuesday, the party announced.
Your successor until the party’s annual general meeting will be Marco Graf.
Wegenin had previously resigned from her position after it became known that she was working with two activists from the right-wing extremist “Junge Tat” in the National Council election campaign.
On Tuesday, she resigned from her position at an extraordinary general meeting of the party, according to the statement. According to the announcement, the new interim president Marco Graf will lead the SVP Winterthur until the ordinary general meeting in 2024.
At the end of September, “SonntagsBlick” made it public that Wegelin had hired two convicted activists from the right-wing extremist “Junge Tat” for her, ultimately unsuccessful, National Council election campaign on social media. The Winterthur homeowners association then withdrew its support and called onwegelin to distance himself from the “Junge Tat”.
However, she didn’t do this. She emphasized in a video that she didn’t want to let anyone dictate who she worked with. In interviews,wegelin said that she had never heard of the “Junge Tat” group at the time she was awarded the contract. She liked the two young men and had things in common. In this context, she mentioned the corona pandemic and the federal government’s measures against it. The “Young Act” is under observation by the Federal Police (Fedpol). Several proceedings are underway against members of this right-wing extremist group.
