The SVP group, has lost in the elections of the 13th national Council seats, and will therefore be present in the future in the pre-Advisory commissions less strong. The battle for the important Committee seats calls for sacrifice. As such, the St. Gallen national Council Lukas Reimann looks . He must be expected to vacate his seat in the state political Commission (SPK).
Reimann sees this as a result of his commitment to the more stringent disclosure requirements for Federal in-house lobbyists, as he said to the “St. Galler Tagblatt”. “I was told, it is people need in the Commission, the party would be compliant voices”, will Reimann quoted in the newspaper. As an example, the vote this Monday in the national Council on the creation of a lobbyists register is used to him, where Reimann agreed to in contrast to the vast majority of SVP for the stricter rules.
Reimann’s presentation on joins, however, some in the SVP mad. The Zurich national councillor Barbara stone man is the most. “The reason his fight against lobbyists, but his frequent Absence, and his unreliability is not,” wrote stone man on Twitter. Stone man sat as Reimann in the SPK . You do not want to comment Thursday on the request to Reimann’s statements. Also Reimann was not accessible.
the reason is not his fight against lobbyists, but his frequent Absence, and his unreliability! https://t.co/381oFADGLv

another source from the SVP, the allegations of stone’s confirmed. Reimann have meetings at the Commission, often missed, is too late or not sufficiently been prepared. Dissenters from the party line have given it to in shops in the SPK again and again. Reimann is not the only one.
Reimann took charge of the many absences of any comments, but in a Tweet to his expulsion from the SPK again in connection with his fight against lobbyists. “If a’ no ‘ to lobbyists as unreliable, then I am unreliable.”
If a ” no ” to lobbyists is considered unreliable, then I’m glad to be unreliable. Basic attitudes and values that will stay with me for this reliable and also not to mandates any change. Incorruptible for the people! https://t.co/63W6ZZp0sV

Officially, the SVP justified the dismissal Reimann’s from the SPK in order to assign the group in the new national Council seats less Commission. In the future, the SVP will have in most of the commissions only 7 instead of 8 or 9 representatives. Therefore, it is not possible that each group was a member of furthermore, in two pre-Advisory committees present. The allocation of seats is made in the case of the SVP by the group Board of management. Get Reimann is likely to remain the seat of the law Commission.
