The substitution of a party by Chantal Galladé Christian Levrat “confidently put aside,” he said at the delegate Assembly on Saturday in Arth-Goldau. However, the party President of the SP has taken this story as an occasion to talk about the Europe-political stance of the party.
He was very happy to be after a “turbulent week” today in Goldau gathered in order to draw “together, the balance sheet,” said Levrat at the beginning of his speech. He will not talk about the party switch from Chantal Galladé, and the cascade of media comments.
“Because we can change neither the Form, Timing or the content of this story, we can put you confidently ad acta,” said Levrat. Instead, he wanted to make “some issues” with seriousness to answer. And last but not least, the European political stance of the party speak.
The SP track for decades, a coherent and positive EU policy, said Levrat: “Yes to Europe, Yes to the protection of Wages.” In principle, the SP, the FDP and the CVP was in agreement: “We want a framework agreement,” he said. The SP will now do everything in our power to obtain a framework agreement, which the level of wages in Switzerland are hazardous.
criticism of the Federal Council
there is a need for more time and a more serious work of the Federal Council. “What this has presented, is not a fully negotiated contract”, and criticized Levrat and called it a “disgrace”. You’ll need to hold talks with the EU, and internally to be discussed with the cantons and the social partners important questions.
But the discussion on the framework agreement is mainly theoretical. In the near future, three relations were to the EU, quite practical questions: First of all, the vote in the next year, on the termination of the initiative of the SVP, but also the votes on stricter weapons law and the AHV-tax template.
Levrat listed in his speech, the focus of the coming election campaign: Lower health insurance premiums, equality, work for all and climate protection. He stressed again how important it is to break in the autumn, the majority of the right of the SVP and the FDP in the national Council. “We need to reverse the logic in Bern,” he said. From the rear step to progress, from the Conservative to the future. (fal/sda)
