Innerrhoden government dissatisfied with reporting in Appenzeller Zeitung
Ruedi Eberle (SVP), president of the Innerrhod Grand Council, believes it is right for the Government Affairs Committee to make an example of the Appenzeller Zeitung by boycotting it and withholding information. The reason for this is the committee’s dissatisfaction with the newspaper’s reporting.
Eberle told SDA on Friday that the Appenzeller Zeitung had portrayed him as a backwoodsman. The editorial team had clearly gone too far with its reporting on tourism marketing, the trial in the case of the dismissed public prosecutor and the associated criticism of members of the Professional Ethics Committee.
Eberle believes that the decision taken by Carlo Schmid (CVP), the mayor of Innerrhoden and former member of the Council of States, was the right one. Schmid had canceled all Appenzeller Zeitung subscriptions to the Innerrhoden administration and the Standeskommission and shortly afterwards imposed an information ban on the paper with a circulation of 14,000 copies. According to Eberle, the editorial team will not be denied access to the council chamber. .
Innerrhoden government no longer provides information to the Appenzeller Zeitung
