It is by hearing the potential candidates to the Federal Council renounce, one after the other, to present themselves to the succession of Viola Amherd, that Alexandre Brahier, spokesperson for the Geneva police and head of the communication and public relations department, decided to get started, notes the RTS.
On March 12, the Genevan will therefore be in the ranks in the same way as the favorites of the center ticket, Martin PfisterZugois State Councilor, and the national councilor of Saint-Gall Martin Ritter. Alexandre Brahier is not the only citizen to try the adventure: Ebby Guirao, a Friborg man who runs an active family business in glazing and building, is also up for. Ultimately, The Federal Assembly will contrast.
“A different energy”
“I want to bring a different energy and look,” explains the Genevan. It is not because there is no policy that we cannot offer simple and effective actions. ” For example? “In terms of mobility, the 3e Highway will be expensive, but most of the congestion is linked to motorists who change tracks to win a few meters. They must be made aware of them. “
Holding a federal police patent and a public relations diploma, the candidate also wants the Swiss government to act in favor of purchasing power. “I am well aware that I am not very lucky to be elected, but this is an opportunity to advance ideas and show that everyone’s experience can count.”
In the institutions department, an employer of Alexandre Brahier, the news of his candidacy seems to arouse mixed feelings. “With this candidacy, we were a little put in front of the fait,” notes the spokesman Laurent Paolielo. Mr. Brahier is naturally free to be a candidate, but we reminded him that his campaign must be done outside the hours of work. In addition, we are studying to see if and how this candidacy is compatible with its function. Usually, to avoid mixing genres, people get on leave. ”
Note that the lonely applications in the federal elections or the cantonal executive are common.
