From the “Yeah, no, but,” the FDP makes Switzerland the Federal house group, after their Seminar on Friday and Saturday is now a “clear Yes to the outcome of the negotiations of the framework agreement”. Renegotiations with the EU calls for the party. With that she closes the small centre parties, the GLP and the BDP.
As the reasons for the approval of group head, Beat Walti (ZH) is called the right to safety, securing access to the EU single market and the clear rules that would be created for the further development of the bilateral way. The free democratic party, which now sees only “room specifications” and in the case of the Union citizens Directive, the protection of Wages, and in the case of the guillotine clause.
“in the face of negotiation success and our Einstehens for the jobs in the country we came to this clear ‘Yes’.”Christa Markwalder, FDP national councillor
The sounds differently than the FDP delegates ‘ Assembly in June 2018. At the time, President of Petra Gössi stressed that the FDP wool, the deepening of the relations with the EU, not at any price. “We want you only if it is carefully considered, if the people involved in the decisions and a clear Benefit.”
The Bernese FDP national councillor Christa mark Walder sees no contradiction in this to make a decision by Saturday. “In view of the negotiation success, and our Einstehens for the jobs in the country, we came to this clear ‘Yes’.” They showed pride in the “well-informed, animated, and fair discussion”. Also trades Association President Hans-Ulrich Bigler (ZH), agree in this point with his colleague. “Intense, inspired, objective,” – he have experienced the discussion. The clarifications were needed, he stressed. He hope to FDP Federal councillor Ignazio Cassis, a must have for the summer, talks between the Federal Council and the EU.
the praise of the employer
the accented positioning of the FDP parliamentary group from the employers ‘ Association is Welcomed. Its President, Valentin Vogt, said: “We belong to the camp of those seeking on the Basis of this negotiation results in a solution. I’d rather the Sparrow in the Hand than the pigeon on the roof.” The requested clarifications of the protection of Wages FDP and employers agreed. By means of clarifications of the previous employee could receive protection in Switzerland, and at the same time EU-compliant designed, Vogt convinced.
During the Aargauer Matthias P. Müller, one of the Vice-President of the Young liberals on Twitter the group’s decision as “incomprehensible” criticized, was the President of the Young liberals, on request, to be moderate. The handling of the framework agreement is also a question of tonality, said Andri silver Schmidt. The Young liberals are going with their criticism of the outcome of the negotiations more than the FDP group. Possible compensatory measures of the EU were limited in terms of effect and time to find them. “Whether you call the to clarify points of the renegotiation, clarification of, or additional Protocol – what is important is the legally binding outcome, to assess it and finally politically.” This shows that The group decision against the inside apparently as a signal. Open criticism from the first ranks of the party yet.
“The FDP’s looking for herself”
Violent reactions in the case of the trade unions and the SVP but – in the case of those who deny the results of the negotiations in the past, the followers. SP national councillor Corrado Pardini (BE) says: “The FDP is on slalom course in the European question and the ecological orientation. There is a party in search of itself.”
With their Position, the FDP’m just trying to cover up the Bankruptcy of their Federal Council Cassis. Also, the FDP wants to sell the voters “stupid”. “The terms and conditions which ties you for the clarification with the EU on its Yes, are correct, but do not agree with a’ Yes ‘ to the present contract.” It was in favour of consolidation, deepening and development of relations between Switzerland and the European Union. But: “The present outcome of the negotiations must be rejected to the Federal Council with the requirement to present a new result.” This has to respect the current negotiation mandate of the Federal Council and the “red lines”, in particular the protection of Wages. An “independent, effective and non-discriminatory” wage protection must remain guaranteed. In addition, a more in-depth analysis and clarification of the framework agreement held principles of the state aid necessary, as Pardini.
“The hand”
“The FDP’s decision surprised me, from the time forth,” says SVP-President Albert Rösti. Because negotiating tactically, the statement is misguided at the present time. Today and tomorrow it is going to strengthen the Federal Council for renegotiation with the EU. Hash Browns it is referred to as “incredible”, that “the FDP will be automatically EU law and judgments of foreign judges in the European court of justice as binding wants to accept”. For the Bernese national Council is clear: “The FDP is on the leash of the economic umbrella organisation Economiesuisse.”
