Former Federal Council spokesman works for Martullo-Blocher
Livio Zanolari, former spokesperson for the Federal Council, will become the media spokesperson and personal aide to SVP National Council member Magdalena Martullo-Blocher.
Her father, former Federal Councillor Christoph Blocher, had already used the services of the South Grisons native. Magdalena Martullo-Blocher from Zurich, who was elected to the National Council in Graubünden, relies on the services of Livio Zanolari for her political activities and not as an entrepreneur and head of Ems-Chemie. He is responsible for the SVP National Councillor's parliamentary work, Zanolari said on Thursday in response to an inquiry, confirming a report in the local newspaper Il Grigione Italiano.
From spring, 60-year-old Zanolari will be working for National Councillor Martullo-Blocher. At the end of February, he will give up his position as Head of Communications at the Graubünden-based electricity company Repower after three and a half years. Zanolari himself is a member of the SVP. He ran unsuccessfully for the National Council in 2011 and 2015. The former Graubünden CVP councillor worked for six federal councillors for 12 years, most recently for Federal Councillor Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf. (SDA)
