He will remove his role as Minister of the Economy and Health in a few days… Jacques Gerber will leave the Jura Government at the end of the year after 9 years in office. The PLR resigned to become delegate of the Federal Council for Ukraine and will be replaced by Stéphane Theurillat of the Center. Bruntrutain’s mandate was notably marked by the coronavirus crisis. At the time of the assessment, this Wednesday he was the guest of “La Matinale” and first remembered the first moments of the pandemic: “They move me. It was the beginning of a very, very significant period. It will remain in our collective memories,” he assures. Jacques Gerber often used a solemn, even directive tone at this time: “It was necessary, at the start of a crisis, to really confront people with the situation. It’s never easy to know whether to say too much or leave questions open,” he believes while adding: “We can be extremely serious at work, while maintaining a certain lightness. It allows us to relax situations and show that we are also humans, we are not just machines with ties.”
Polarization of Jura politics
Jacques Gerber has expressed, on several occasions in recent years, his desire to reform the state. The heaviness of the administration and political tensions have sometimes slowed down this process: “I think that there is a culture that we must relearn, that of dialogue, of confrontation in the noble sense of the term. Too often, it becomes very personal very quickly, and that’s a shame. We can respect the person but have a totally different opinion and debate, even if sometimes it is a little muscular”, affirms Jacques Gerber who denounces a “dangerous polarization” between Parliament and the Government but also between “institutions and the population “. /mmi
