The Geneva Council of state, disempowered, Pierre Maudet after lying about his trip to Abu Dhabi for a second Time. In the autumn, the government had deprived colleagues in the government Bureau and the command of the police. The top police leadership was left to him but more. At its meeting yesterday the government decided definitely to make Maudet is a kind of shrink-Minister. Maudet remains Director of Economics. As such, he commanded, but the economy is merely the Secretariat to promote and be General. These are 15 full-time, divided into 20 employees.
In addition, bears the political responsibility for para-state institutions, such as the promotion of tourism Geneva tourism or the customs Maudet free warehouse. The leadership of the 3,000 people strong Police force and the penal system must Maudet give his colleague Mauro Poggia. So Poggia mutated to Geneva’s super-Minister. In his newly created Department of safety, work and health, 2000 people work in the future.
control functions
Pierre Maudet said at a media conference, happy he was. He was even in view, to examine legal ways of the decision before the court challenge, “if it is contestable,” says Maudet. He’ll maintain his 15-hour working days. But he was as a politician is quite usual to have little responsibility. In his time as the Geneva city Council gave him leave to the left the majority of the waste bucket.
a waste bucket must Maudet in the coming months, don’t worry. He will meet with entrepreneurs and for the economy of Geneva weibeln, he pointed out. It is a lot of give to do, the government is promoting the digitization.
The Geneva cantonal government President Antonio Hodgers stressed yesterday, especially of: “Pierre, no permits should be allowed to give Maudet and control functions.”
Secret sharing
If there is still evidence of the great crisis in the Geneva government needed confidence, then the Board delivered him this past weekend. The newspaper “La Tribune de Genève” reported that the state Council had met on Sunday to a secret meeting. But not the Council of state in corpore. Only five of the seven Governors: the representative of the MCG, the Green, the SP and the CVP. The free-minded state councils Nathalie Fontanet, and Pierre Maudet were not invited.
The Meeting had to remain secret. When asked about this, responded President of the government, Hodgers thin-skinned. He could make a secret neither confirm nor deny, so the Green. The article contained in the Rest of the error. The question is, what was the article wrong, didn’t want to answer Hodgers again. He said simply, councils of state discussed frequently, informally and outside of their ordinary meetings. The discussions on the reallocation of departments have already begun weeks ago.
Maudet is angry
Whether the Meeting was held and a secret character had, remains open. However, the councillors of state exchanged views in the Causa Maudet for the weekend, no doubt. The reason is clear: You want to determine before the session of the government on the future of state councillor Pierre Maudet. He and his party colleague, Fontanet should not know what the colleague had taken what Position. The councillors of state wanted to prevent Maudet would use the points Discussed at a later point in time against a member of the government.
Maudet responded yesterday upset. “I don’t call for the resignation of Antonio Hodgers, although I appreciated the Episode from Sunday.”
A shadow in Fontanet
The distrust Maudet, since his lies about his trip to Abu Dhabi is enormous. It adopts and casts a shadow on financial Director Nathalie Fontanet. She has distanced itself from Maudet never. Also in her speech in front of the FDP members, on the occasion of the vote of confidence Maudet she was covering. The other councillors of state see in your Maudets allies.
in Spite of the yesterday’s step of the councils of state of the Geneva cantonal Parliament will agree at its today session, of a Resolution, the advocate-General to the resignation calls. Also, two-thirds of the members of the FDP parliamentary group, agreed at the group meeting for the Resolution. (Editorial Tamedia)
