Letter of the day: the little Geneva tale

Geneva, September 27

Once upon a time, four government parties joined forces to occupy all the positions dedicated to monitoring the state and its administration. Cooptation, let’s see, you’re not thinking about it! It’s just to form a complementary team from the PLR ​​to the Greens, via the Center and the PS…

Un Petit Poucet, a green liberal, didn’t hear it that way and decided to provoke the election, rather than make it tacit like six years before. A campaign, in which a fifth party and an independent joined, followed and resulted, to everyone’s surprise given the electoral potential of the four parties, in a ballot of the two PLR of the monobloc list, a sign that the voters of the gang of four had not all made the same calculations.

A second round is now necessary, the substitute candidate PVL, who came last, is withdrawing because she is playing the democratic game and wishes to leave a real choice to voters; alas, the independent, who also came last with nearly 5,000 votes difference, maintains his presence for the election for the post of titular magistrate, thus rendering a proud service to the PLR ​​in ballot by the dispersion of the opposing votes that he provokes.

The end and the moral of this little Geneva story remain to be written by the citizens who will vote on October 13.

Will the Court of Auditors remain the prerogative of four parties present in the organs of power that it must control? Will the independent be sanctioned or rewarded for his stubbornness, which is difficult to understand? Will the liberal Little Thumb find his way to the Court of Auditors to bring a surplus of independence and political diversity?
