Will Peter Wanner become "Foreign Minister"?
Associations Publisher President Hanspeter Lebrument is planning two additional departments.
Associations Publisher President Hanspeter Lebrument is planning two additional departments.
At the Publishers' Congress, which is taking place in Interlaken these days, the Board of the Swiss Press Association (CHP) is to be increased from seven to nine members. According to the association's statutes, a maximum of ten representatives from publishing houses may sit on the association's highest committee. Tamedia CEO Martin Kall (replacing former President Hans Heinrich Coninx), AZ publisher Peter Wanner and Josef Zihlmann from Willisauer Boten will join the committee, which has been organized along party lines for two years and is notoriously overburdened.
If Hanspeter Lebrument has his way, new departments will be created for the latter two. "Wanner would be my preferred candidate for the Department of External Relations," Lebrument told Werbewoche. The background to this idea is probably the approaching RTVG decision and the necessary political lobbying in the capital.
Zihlmann, on the other hand, could well imagine himself as Minister of Labor, who would liaise with the social partners. "So that we don't have the same unproductive dispute every four years," says the Südostschweiz boss, who is notorious as a union hater, explaining this surprising intention.
