How can CVP-Pfister become a federal council?

Yesterday, Blick said that behind the scenes, there was a way to make the CVP president, Gerhard Pfister (56), a candidate for the Federal Council.

In front of Blick looks at Pfister: "I will not run because I am very satisfied and satisfied with the office, which is the most beautiful after Pope."

You do not want to choose a wild

Nevertheless, yesterday, the links between CVP and SVP worked hot. The question was: how can you integrate Pfister into the Bundesrat? According to information from LOOK, the CVP party said something like this: "We can not put it on the ticket, not only that, our party chairman has canceled from the beginning, he is also in the research committee. You must choose him as a wild candidate. "

"This is not possible," says the SVP. "In one year, Ueli Maurer (67 years old) could no longer participate in the general elections of the Federal Council, since we can not choose a savage now and risk to make the 2019 with us too.That's why Pfister has to be on the ticket. "

CVP: "As I said, it will not work!" Please: "There must be a way."

Giezendanner ensures that SVP is for Pfister

Officially, faction leader Thomas Aeschi (39) says: "The SVP group will stick to the official ticket of the CVP and recommend one or all of the candidates for the election or the vote of release of the ticket."

Ulrich Giezendanner (64), Vice-President of the National Council, however, clearly explained the party's attitude to the National Council: "With the support of SVP Pfister, we could expect a lot."

And even the FDP State Council of Zug, Joachim Eder (66), is not the only member of his party to declare: "If the famous CVPler thinks that the best candidate would be Mr. Pfister, he has to name it right. He would certainly have a very good chance of being elected. "

The fact that Pfister is a member of the Research Committee does not constitute an obstacle to an application. "He is free to leave the identification committee," Eder said.

The VCP must allow a strong Federal Council

The carousel of CVP candidates grew a little bit yesterday (see below left). But opinions under the Bundeshauskuppel are still not made. A bourgeois deputy said: "I evaluate the CVP ticket only when it is suspended." He does not especially know the Uri government adviser, Heidi Z & Graggen (52 years old). And that does not speak for her.

And a politician at the center said, "That the candidates of the CVP tend to be left or right of the party is less central to many.It is important that two strong federal advisers be elected on December 5." The CVP has the responsibility to make this possible.
