Pierre is awarded Maudet in the summer with the “Prix Genferei”. This is not a claim to fame. The price of a group of Geneva journalists awards that personality or organization, provoked at the Geneva indoor and Genfern in the past year, the most head-shaking. The last of the “Prix Genferei” got in June 2018, the Canton police. The officials deserved the award, because they protested in short pants and proliferating beards in the streets against reforms, and a song had made, Yes, unacceptable image.

Director of Security Maudet was invited to the award ceremony. But he wasn’t. He was pleased, if only he can receive the prize once, was he. Little did he know that he would not be in June 2019, more safety and security Director, but the top Favourite for the preservation of the Golden maple leaf. In addition, the journalists honor speeches the winners in each case with Wit and abusive chants.

scandals and squabbles

But what is actually a “Genferei”? Pierre Maudet was trying to decipher the Swiss-German readers the mystery on Wednesday in his last post as a “view”columnist. “It is the way to gain somehow hearing in the Rest of Switzerland,” says Maudet. As Genferei also applies, “if anyone keeps a critical mind, but also self-employed and risks. Top or flop. This corresponds to the entrepreneurial spirit that has characterized the second-largest city of Switzerland.” However, a critical spirit and risk-taking entrepreneurship are really a Genferei? Tend not.

Of those journalists go, give the Prix Genferei. Philippe Bach of the newspaper “Le Courrier” is called Maudets Definition of a “revisionist”. They border on “heresy,” writes Bach. He hope in the Other, “that Pierre Maudet is tails, the next Delivery of the Prix Genferei”.

The criteria for Genferei has been defined by the prize Committee for a long time and presented to you on your Homepage. Roughly speaking, a Genferei the conscious cause of official Maladministration or of a state failure, the does not escalate into scandals or quarrels.

This can be many things: An act or a project that is all of Geneva accepted, but which is planned as a song or carried out that it costs a lot of money in the end. Similarly, a Genferei can be a project, the authorities argue in such a way that you can block it and the people harm.

A project can also come up again and again, but it seems to be neither the useful nor will it be realized; in the worst case, it is implemented and after the implementation of already useless. A Genferei can also be something serious, unerwartbare consequences and crashing falls be removed, wherein the debris with a special elegance. It is always A Genferei is something the Geneva to be ashamed of in the German part of Switzerland.

The sleeping judge

The deselected state Council Luc Barthassat got the prize because he and his predecessor wanted to increase the ticket prices of buses and Trams, and with the same concern in a short period of time in three referendums failed. MCG-politician Eric Stauffer, in turn, won the award because of his continuous antics, of which especially the fight with a Securitas employee remained at the Fête de Genève, the glass of water and throw against a member of the Parliament colleague and a fake drug deal in the old town of Geneva in memory. It is clear that Pierre Maudets lie on his luxury trip to Abu Dhabi, the criminal proceedings against him and the ongoing government crisis containing all the ingredients of a Genferei.

Just this week, an incident, the Geneva proclaim already Genferei took place in a Geneva court. A judge fell asleep during a murder trial. All Attempts to discretely Wake her up, failed. The lawyers speak of a scandal. The process must be repeated, the judge is likely to be replaced. The newspaper “Le Temps” identified the sleeping judge Pierre Maudets mother-in-law. This is a Genferei? Caution is advised. A failure is the result of a physical Malaise or a health problem, it is not a Genferei. As Genferei only actions, which are prepared in full consciousness and led to the end of apply.
