5G is painfully arriving in Switzerland.The deployment of 5G in Switzerland does not always take place as the operators would have liked, which are therefore obliged to continue to multiply their propaganda efforts. Their technology lobby Chance5G thus indicates that the socialist national councilor Edith Graf-Litscher comes to reinforce the co-presidency of this movement.
This pressure group argues that Socialist National Councilor Edith Graf-Litscher benefits from a wide network. According to them, this Thurgovian would even be a leading voice within the PS with regard to issues related to digital infrastructure. Chance5G thus wants to initiate a political dialogue “balanced around the fifth generation of mobile telephony (5G) with a large part of the population”. Just that!
Seven remunerated mandates declared
Active in the Federal Parliament since 2005, the Thurgau socialist sits on the Transport and Telecommunications Commission of the National Council. She also holds other mandates in the field of information technologies and telecommunications. She is also co-chair of the parliamentary groups For responsible digital, ePower et Cyberaccording to a press release.
Voters who would like to get a clearer picture of his commitment to the common good can visit on this page from the Parliament’s website. They will thus find that she is remunerated by at least seven foundations and associations for her services. We note in particular that she receives money from Glasfasernetz Schweiz and Asut. In other words, she is remunerated by the seraglio.
Sometimes volunteer…
These ties of interest perhaps contrast somewhat with the sometimes somewhat complacent discourse that is served up to voters by pointing out to them the commitment of politicians to the common good, democracy, even the homeland. The same goes for this association, which is very concerned regarding the digital future of Switzerland, that is to say much more concretely regarding the margins of our dear telephone operators.
“The Chance 5G platform was launched in the summer of 2020 in order to present the opportunities and advantages of the latest generation of 5G mobile telephony and to maintain a dialogue with the population. The initiative now has 121 ambassadors, Swiss personalities from business, politics, science and society, 59 industry associations, consumer organizations and trade unions, as well as more than 400 private supporters. . All of them are voluntarily committed to 5G and an innovative Switzerland. Together, they demand that the deployment of 5G continue throughout Switzerland for the benefit of all citizens”, writes this lobby.
To be taken with the necessary distance.
