Last but not least: The former Federal Councillor and his South Park lookalike

Former Federal Councillor Joseph Deiss is the first Swiss national to make it into the animated, socially critical US television series "South Park". He sits at a table between Great Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown and France's President Nicolas Sarkozy and mediates between the USA and Canada. So far so good, but what does the CVP politician think of "his" appearance? When he saw the episode, he wondered whether it was really him, he says in the newspaper Le Matin, according to A-z.ch. He was both amazed and honored that he appeared in the series. It was also a funny coincidence because he had just returned from Canada. Deiss also feels a certain satisfaction with regard to his time in office as Federal Councillor. During his presidential year, critics had accused him of being unknown. This is now a great opportunity to prove them wrong.
