a Red card for the Geneva FDP-Council of state, Pierre Maudet : The cantonal Parliament decided on Friday a Resolution requesting Maudet the resignation. Against Maudet, for a advantage of adoption. He reiterated to political pressure not to give in.

The party’s “Ensemble à Gauche” already last September, submitted a Resolution was adopted by 66 votes to 8, with 15 abstentions. You should Maudet serve as a “decision aid,” said the Deputy Pierre Vanek of “Ensemble à Gauche”. He added: “This puppet theatre has to stop”.

The Canton government said in Parliament to the Resolution. Pierre Maudet explained in a personal name, he apologised for his unworthy conduct, that is not office appropriate. At the same time, he stressed to the political pressure not to give in.

“I’m looking forward to fighting”

Then he criticized members of Parliament, which would have violated the official secrecy through the disclosure of documents. “I am delighted to fight for, and I am not been chosen to be slaughtered,” cried Maudet in the room.

late on Thursday evening, the Geneva cantonal Parliament had decided on the extension of the waiver of the immunity of the advocate-General. The public Prosecutor may, therefore, act against this due to the acceptance of further services and money amounts.

A first request for the waiver of immunity in respect of a trip to Abu Dhabi last September, adopted. The application for an extension of the waiver of immunity applies now to financial benefits, which should have received Maudet of the Manotel group.

The main focus of the investigation in two organizations, which the hotel group to a total of CHF 105’000 transferred. In addition, the group funded a birthday party for Maudet in the value of 20’000 Swiss francs.

Overthrown

On the last Wednesday had restructured the Geneva government departments. Was Maudet – against his will – to the newly created Department of economic development has been mixed. He will, therefore, continue to be for the areas of economic development, research and Innovation. Also, the Palexpo, the duty-free warehouse, and the Geneva tourism remain under his control. The Dossier security policy was withdrawn.

Because of the ongoing criminal proceedings were to have been withdrawn in mid-September a variety of skills. At that time, the liberal-minded Director of Security had to give the government the Bureau, as well as the control of the police and the airport. Anyway, the ailing state Council no longer has the confidence of the party leadership at the cantonal and national level – only the base shows support for Maudet.
