“At the end of the successful implementation of the 2025 strategy, I consider that it is time to pass the torch,” declared Gerhard Pfister this Monday in Bern, during a press conference. The Zug national councilor also declared: “In recent years, we have achieved a remarkable transformation of our party, laying the foundations for a strong Center in the Swiss political landscape. “It’s the right time to make way for the new generation.”

In an interview with the Tamedia newspapers, he also said that he “does not close the door to the Federal Council”. Enough to put pressure on Federal Councilor Viola Amherd, who has just finished her presidential year. Speculation about his departure from the executive is rife in Bern. A way for the strong man of the party to position himself.
