After the announcement of the resignation of Viola Amherd, the PLR thanks her “for her commitment to the service of Switzerland”. He emphasizes that “the absolute priority” of his successor must be the rearmament of the army.
In a press release, the PLR recalls some of the successes of the centrist: Viola Amherd succeeded in convincing the population of the need to acquire new combat aircraft. She is also committed to Switzerland’s candidacy for the organization of the European women’s football championship this year.
-For the PLR, the absolute priority of its successor at the head of the Department of Defense must be to rearm the army, which is currently not able to defend itself. To do this, a clear roadmap is necessary.
The Center’s seat on the Federal Council is not contested, recalls the PLR. He now expects the Center to present a choice of candidates for the succession of Valaisanne.
