Will Nicole Lamon become the new Federal Council spokeswoman?

After Andrea Arcidiacono’s short intermezzo, the finding commission is determining a new Federal Council spokesman. This time nothing can go wrong.

After the death of André Simonazzi on April 10, 2024, she was one of the most promising successors of the Federal Council spokesman. Only: Nicole Lamon canceled CH Media very quickly at the time.

From 2012 to 2019 Lamon was head of communication by Interior Minister Alain Berset. During this time, she has invested a lot of time and no longer strives to a comparable job, said Lamon, who today works as the domestic manager of the western Swiss newspaper « Le Temps ».

The new finding commission actively went to Lamon

Quite exactly a year later, the situation is different: Lamon runs for the successor of Andrea Arcidiacono, as research shows. The new finding commission, which Chancellor Viktor Rossi used in February for the succession planning, was looking for contact with her and asked her to submit her application documents.

Wiedmer is also considered a safe value for the position thanks to its good networking in administration and his experience in department and government communication. At Guy Parmelin’s building land scandal, he demonstrated stability in the crisis. In addition, Wiedmer has a lot of television experience at SRF-as a regional correspondent, domestic correspondent, “Arena” moderator and Bundeshaus correspondent.

Pierre Gobet is also interested in the office of Federal Council spokesman. He has been head of the Swiss mission at the UN in New York since 2022. Previously, he was a long -time journalist of the western Swiss television RTS – in Zurich, Bern and the USA. Research show that Gobet is no longer in the race.

What do those affected say about the research on request? « No comment, » says Pierre Gobet. Urs Wiedmer also does not comment. And what does Nicole Lamon say? « No comment. »

The search for the finding commission is about to conclude. Strict confidentiality applies.
