The declaration of war against the SVP would only have been for the gallery. The Greens have no desire to do so – probably also due to a lack of good candidates. In the longer term, they could benefit from this waiver.
A waiver with a lot of pathos: Councilor Lisa Mazzone, parliamentary group leader Aline Trede and party president Balthasar Glättli.
Renunciation is an integral part of the life plan of many Greens. Now the green federal politicians refrain from wasting energy in a hopeless attack on an SVP seat in the Bundesrat. With a lot of pathos, the party leaders explained the unanimous decision of the green parliamentary group on Tuesday. Not a single party was willing to talk about a seat in the Federal Council for the Greens, said parliamentary group leader Aline Trede. The die has already been cast, the power cartel is working.
