In the Federal Council, a Department of castling: Viola Amherd, Switzerland receives for the first Time a Minister of defence, Karin Keller-Sutter, Minister of justice. Simonetta Sommaruga goes to the Detec and Guy Parmelin Minister of economy.

The Federal Council was not a friendly solution for the distribution of the departments. He decided by vote, as the Federal Council spokesman André Simonazzi said on Monday in front of the Federal house media. On the question of whether or not it was a bad Start for the new body, said Simonazzi, it was the first Time that a vote was necessary.

The Problem was apparently that no one wanted to take over the defense Department (VBS). This now goes to the newly elected CVP Federal councillor Viola Amherd. For 23 years, the Department was in the hands of the SVP.

What the Swiss media write for castling, the read range in the image. (chk)
