In the canton of Friborg, the bourgeois agreement is doing well. After the UDC in early April, the Center and the PLR in turn validated the renewal of this alliance which had enabled the election of 5 state advisers in 2021. The winning machine is therefore relaunched for the next cantonal elections.
A few days after the UDC, the center and the PLR launched their campaigns on Wednesday evening for the cantonal elections next year, at the same time validating the renewal of the bourgeois agreement, sealed in 2021, which had enabled them to win five seats in the cantonal executive.
For Damiano Lepori, president of the Friborg Center, the time is not for self -satisfaction. “The worst thing to do would be to rest on our laurels and consider that it is a winning machine. This time, we are going to lead a real common campaign, with a common campaign committee and a long -standing structure.”
An “excellent collaboration”
Beyond a simple opportunity alliance, the bourgeois agreement wants to translate on the ground. The three training courses share a desire to develop common themes, whether at government level, as well as by Parliament. “For the moment, the collaboration is really excellent,” says Timon Gavallet, president of the UDC Friborg. “The goal of this right -wing majority is that we can use it to pass certain things. We are now focusing, among other things, on regional planning and that concerns education, two major themes that bring us together. But the idea is that in the future, we can also develop other things.”
Same story with Alexandre Vonlanthen, President of PLR Friborg: “The goal is that each party keeps its main themes and its approach to politics. On the other hand, we have a lot of themes that meet on which we work together. We see each other regularly with my two colleagues from the center and the UDC.”
The campaign is therefore indeed launched. The duration of this bourgeois marriage has been extended until next fall. Beyond that, it will be necessary to discuss. The 2027 federal elections could rebatch the cards.
