Guy Parmelin (62) recently took his colleagues to his home canton of Vaud. With Ignazio Cassis (61) as Federal President, Ticino and Schaffhausen are on the agenda this year. The annual Federal Council rice before the summer holidays has a long tradition.
There is also a tradition of an aperitif where the state government meets with the population. This year, weather permitting, it will take place on Thursday in front of the St. Johann church in Schaffhausen’s old town.
Rimoldi hopes for freedom trychler
As the «Schaffhauser News» Now reporting, Nicolas Rimoldi also feels addressed. The opponent of the measure is the president of the “Mass-Voll” movement, a group from the skeptic scene. The former Young Liberal became increasingly radical in the wake of the Corona crisis – and never stayed away from a rally, even though the latter have become increasingly rare.
“Mass-Voll” would be happy to accept the invitation, Rimoldi now writes to the newspaper. He might imagine that “the freedom trychlers will also enjoy this”. He hopes to “finally” talk to Minister of Health Alain Berset (50), said Rimoldi.
It’s not the first time he’s tried it. On the last occasion, when the state government held an away meeting in Lucerne last autumn, followed by an aperitif, he failed because of the certificate requirement. Even then, the number of opponents was limited to around 50 people.
Disputed scene
Since the second referendum once morest the Covid law failed and the corona measures were lifted, the skeptic scene has lost a lot of explosive power. After internal disputes, the “Silent Protest” association gave up its regular demos. The “Friends of the Constitution” are primarily concerned with internal quarrels. Rimoldi is one of the last heads of the scene who is still active.
Compared to Blick, Rimoldi emphasizes that no demonstration is planned in Schaffhausen. You only want to take part in the aperitif.
The canton is diplomatic: the invitation is primarily aimed at the population of the Schaffhausen region, it is only said.
