Fabian Molina and Hans-Peter Portmann come together
Review
SP-Molina in the « Arena »: « Switzerland is supposed to adopt against duties in gigantic extent »
At the end of a week in which Switzerland opened with a top -class delegation in Washington, the customs dispute was also debated in the « arena ». The Federal Council’s procedure is the right way for the bourgeois. The SP representative is violent.
The “arena” to the customs deal with the USA.

- Hans-Peter Portmann, National Councilor FDP/ZH
- Corina Gredig, parliamentary group president GLP
- Fabian Molina, National Councilor SP/ZH
Customs deal with the USA
Keller-Sutter’s statement referred to the fragile situation of the global economy, for which US President Donald Trump was not alone, but was largely responsible.
The fact that Switzerland is one of the 15 trading partners who are preferred in the customs dispute is an essential step, an opportunity and no risk. After the talks with representatives of the United States, she and also Minister of Economics Guy Parmelin were confident about a customs deal.
More on that:
In this regard, SVP National Councilor Roland Rino Büchel was almost relaxed. Two competent federal councils spoke to the right people in America and brought the right arguments. So you get good results, much more than with « swearing and fuck you Trump, as you can hear on the left ».
Part of this left side is a SP National Councilor Fabian Molina, and he was really talking to Büchel’s hymn of praise:
«What the Federal Council is currently deducting is without dignity and back. You can’t say it otherwise. «
One is currently dealing with a “neo-fascist US president”. « The tariffs are illegal, they are not compatible with international commercial law ». Molina continued: « Switzerland has to come together with others and bring the USA to court. » The SP man appeals to a collaboration with the EU.
Molina’s pithy words did not want to leave Büchel uncommented and quoted several SP parliamentarians and as they described Trump (« Mafiaboss », « Dictator », « Clown »). He emphasized:
« This is a completely nonsensical rhetoric that does not bring anything. »
The Federal Councilor’s dispatched could have presented very well in the talks what small Switzerland brings to the USA. Trump and his government have to be brought to his side with good arguments. Molina’s replica on this statement:
« What the Federal Council and the bourgeois parties do is the behavior of a bullying victim with Stockholm syndrome. »
He was shocked that exactly those people who always claimed to stand up for the sovereignty and independence of Switzerland lost their backbone with a little headwind.
Molina received support from GLP parliamentary group president Corina Gredig:
« Trump changes his opinion like a lunch menu in the restaurant. »
Having the feeling of continuing to continue with such a person as before, is foreign to the world and unsuspecting. In principle, looking for a conversation with the USA is correct.
FDP National Councilor Hans-Peter Portmann also supports the path of the Federal Council to find a solution with Trump. The rule -based world order has not been observed for a long time, « we can dusted and pour as we want ».
Switzerland is dependent on trading partners like the USA. As a parliamentarian, he sees « responsible for the jobs in Switzerland ». And not for « to improve democracy with the USA ». Portmann emphasized:
« You can now either continue to tumble and we lose jobs and prosperity, or you come to us and look for the people in our country. »
A few minutes later, Portmann definitely no longer understood the world. Then, when Molina suggested that « to raise counter -dumplings in gigantic extent », Trump should not get into reason as far as the punitive tariff is concerned. « It hurts a short moment, but then Trump will give in. »
What Molina demands is completely out of the question. If Switzerland raises against tariffs, the Swiss SMEs who worked with the United States are « bankrupt in two months ».
It was foreseeable that one would not agree in almost no point in this debate. While left-hand green does not only advocate a greater connection to the EU since Trump’s customs escapades, the SVP is known to have a thorn in the side.
Free trade with China
At the end of the customs “arena”-the not too fruitful discussion about a possible free trade agreement with the United States, we leave the outside politician China.
