Christoph Blocher demanded changes to TV program

Justice Minister Christoph Blocher has demanded in vain that a recording of the "Infrarouge" program on French-speaking Swiss television with him be changed retrospectively. The magistrate had taken offense at drawings by the cartoonists Mix & Remix, some of which made an undesirable commentary on Blocher's statements, Livio Zanolari, spokesman for the Minister of Justice, told the Radio Suisse Romande (RSR) about his superior's intervention. Blocher had agreed to take part in the "Infrarouge" program if he could provide objective information on the votes on the asylum and immigration laws on September 24.
Gilles Marchand, director of French-speaking Swiss television, told RSR that Blocher knew exactly how the program worked. He had already been a guest there in the past and was also a fan of the Mix & Remix cartoons. It was therefore decided not to make any changes.
