Various communications officers in the Federal Parliament are changing posts. Former DDPS Head of Information Dominique Bugnon will become the new Head of Communications in Moritz Leuenberger's Uvek. He replaces the new Federal Council spokesperson André Simonazzi.
As the Uvek announced on Tuesday, the change will take place at the beginning of March. Bugnon will become Head of Communications and Press Spokesperson for French-speaking Switzerland. The 51-year-old from Jura has worked in Schmid's Department of Defense, Civil Protection and Sport since 2002. He initially worked as press spokesman, and from 2004 as head of information. Before that, the law graduate worked as a journalist for various media.
Following Schmid's resignation, his personal assistant Stefan Costa had already changed departments. He will work for Federal Councillor Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf in the Department of Justice and Police from the beginning of March. In contrast, the former head of DDPS communications Jean-Blaise Defago will work under the new Federal Councillor Ueli Maurer.
Former Uvek Head of Communications André Simonazzi will take up his post as Vice-Chancellor and Spokesman of the Federal Council at the beginning of April. He will replace Oswald Sigg, who is retiring.
