The UDC demands the publication of the minutes of the hearing of Alain Berset in the case of the leaks in his department. People have a right to transparency, said party president Marco Chiesa.
The SVP demands full explanations from the President of the Confederation, added Marco Chiesa in an interview on Saturday with the German-speaking newspapers of the Tamedia group. The head of the Federal Department of the Interior (DFI) could have explained himself long ago. According to the Ticino, Alain Berset is “solely responsible”.
Apparently, there was “a pact between the publisher Ringier and the DFI,” the UDC states adviser clarified in the interview: “The goal was that ultimately Berset was the best in the media. This is why we now have an institutional crisis”.
The “Schweiz am Wochenende” reported a week ago that Alain Berset’s ex-head of communications, Peter Lauener, had repeatedly passed on confidential information to Ringier about the anti-Covid measures planned by the Council. federal. The weekly relied, according to its own assertions, on e-mails and minutes of hearings which the editorial staff had.
According to Marco Chiesa, the population has a right to transparency.

Question of resignation
For the president of the SVP, the question of whether Alain Berset was aware of the activities of his spokesman is of secondary importance: if he did not know what Peter Lauener had done, it would be “a flagrant failure of management”; if he was aware, it is no longer necessary to continue the discussion anyway, said Marco Chiesa.
He does not directly ask the Minister of Health to resign, unlike National Councilor Alfred Heer (UDC / ZH). The President of the Confederation should draw the consequences himself, he contented himself with saying.
