Basel politician launches magazine Statements
Der Basler Jurist und Politiker Daniel Ordas lanciert unter dem Titel Statements eine vorerst kostenlose Zeitschrift, in der nur Politiker zu Wort kommen sollen.
Statements will be published for the first time on February 3, 2012, as 20 Minuten Online writes. The magazine is a forum for politicians to express controversial views on current political issues. It is published by Basel SP politician and lawyer Daniel Ordas and his law firm partners Domenico Giglio and Roman Hänggi as well as magazine designer Monica Subietas. According to Ordas, it will be a mixture of 'Arena' and a voting booklet. According to Sonntag, the publisher-to-be wants to reach tens of thousands of people in German-speaking Switzerland and is convinced it will be a success. Switzerland is a highly political country with over 300,000 politically engaged citizens, he told 20 Minuten.
