Media Minister Leuenberger does not expect any significant changes in the Uvek
Outgoing Federal Councilor Moritz Leuenberger does not expect any significant changes in «his» Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy, and Communications (UVEK) under Doris Leuthard. He has not commented on the reshuffle, but has expressed «some concern.».
He himself inherited the Uvek from the then SVP Federal Councillor Adolf Ogi, explained Leuenberger in an interview in the Neue Luzerner Zeitung on Thursday, according to SDA. Ogi had initiated a transport and energy policy that did not differ significantly from his - Leuenberger's - own. With the environment department, the Uvek had transformed itself into a sustainability department. This had also shaped him as a Federal Councillor. He had not headed a socialist department, but a sustainable one. The balance could shift somewhat under Leuthard, "but there won't be a radical change". Leuenberger did not want to comment on specific projects after his resignation. He told the newspaper: "These are open questions that are not yet open to transparency."
