Greetings from the Summer Slump

For a politician, fame is the most valuable asset. But sometimes life is better as a nobody: As a Corona general, Berset was able to walk on water unmolested. But since two French fighter jets put an end to his personal high-flying, even newspapers that are loyal to Berset, such as the Tagi, are calling for his resignation.

But it will hardly come to that. Nevertheless, Berset could - ironically - ask Köppel how to stand up to a tsunami of outrage: The Zurich SVP National Councilor has been under constant media fire for belarus rcs data weeks. The reason: Köppel's demand for negotiations in the Ukraine war and his insistence on Swiss neutrality. The fact that his stance on Russia is not fundamentally different from that of his political colleagues Martin Bäumle, Christoph Blocher, his daughter Magdalena Martullo-Blocher or political legend Henry Kissinger is irrelevant; things only get really heated with the Weltwoche boss.

What we learn from this: Loud provocation generates loud reactions. Köppel's popularity in Germany is undisputed, as his internet show Weltwoche-Daily recently reached over 100,000 viewers and generated almost 3,000 euphoric comments. In eastern Germany, he would probably be elected to any parliament.

Berset's foreign commitments are more discreet. It is unclear what the interior minister was doing in France with his plane. A private matter, said his press officer, whose predecessor had recently unexpectedly resigned and was reportedly even remanded in custody. House of Cards in the Federal Palace, prophesied the NZZ.

The hole in the ozone layer may be large, but the silly season no longer exists.
