Left warehouse works on Coup for the Federal Council election: This is how the opportunities are

Franziska Roth set a clear sign. The Solothurn SP Councilor performed on February 21 in the “Arena” of Swiss television. The topic was the Federal Council replacement election of March 12. Moderator Sandro Brotz wanted to know from Roth: « On a scale from one to ten, how many points do you give the middle party in two?» « One point, » she replied.

The Councilor did not express her dissatisfaction as a single parliamentarian – whoever goes into the « arena » speaks important positions with the party's presidium beforehand. Franziska Roth also explained that she did not feel bound to the ticket in the middle.

She signaled that members of the SP faction could not give Markus Ritter or Martin Pfister the voice. On request, Franziska Roth says: «The middle ticket is not balanced. This refers to both the political orientation and the into account the sexes. »

Violent criticism of the Greens President Mazzone

What about the Greens? Question to party president Lisa Mazzone: «Councilor Roth gives the middle ticket one of ten possible points. How many do you give?  » « Zero, » replies Mazzone.

It adds: The Federal Council is not representative for the population today. This grievance threatens to become even more acute after the replacement election, with only two women and a single generation in the government. With the four -way block of FDP and SVP, the Federal Council politicizes past the population. «He lost almost all important votes last year. With the new center representative there is a threat of a fiveth block, »says Mazzone.

Parliamentarians of the SP and the Greens have tried to find an explosive candidate in the past few weeks. They had countless conversations – but have not yet finished.

It was agreed: the middle is closed. So you would have to find someone who is considered selectable in the SP and the Greens. A parliamentarian who fetches many votes in the first ballot – and then how Daniel Jositsch stays instead of explaining his lack of interest at the lectern.

In the foreground was an explosive candidate. However, there were objections from SP parliamentarians: No woman from the middle applied for the party's official ticket – because of this weakness, the train has now left.

Chassot says again – someone in Herrliberg is ready

The highest obstacle: SP and Greens occupy 76 of the 246 seats in the Federal Assembly. More than 40 votes are missing so that the coup can succeed. The explosive candidate would have to be chosen by the left warehouse – and also score with the green liberals, the middle and the FDP. This is a very difficult undertaking.

An SP National Council says that the intensity of the talks has decreased in the past few days. Only if the knights and Pfister at the Hearings before the factions of the SP and the Greens at the beginning of next week both left a bad impression, there may be a new dynamic. The chance is ten percent.

Isabelle chassot was traded as a possible explosive candidate. The Freiburg center -up councilor did not apply as a candidate – and she now explains: «I support the ticket that my party presented. As a result, I would not accept a choice on March 12th. »

Christoph Blocher has recalled. On Friday, he spoke again on “Tele Blocher” about how he would clean up in the defense department. « If the parliamentarians want to die, I would do it for two and a half years, » said the SVP doyen. As an explosive candidate from center-left, however, he is rather out of the question.
