Last but not least: tweets from the Federal Palace
Federal Council spokesperson André Simonazzi has been tweeting from the Federal Palace for a year now. And he already has 3,075 followers. His own interest, however, is rather limited.
On Thursday morning, André Simonazzi posted the following tweet according to SDA: "@BR_Sprecher is one year on Twitter today! I look forward to hearing your ideas and suggestions in the future. Thank you very much!" In the last twelve months, he and his team have posted over 460 tweets in the national languages and in English - from advertising for the blood donation campaign with President Ueli Maurer to references to media conferences and congratulations for the victorious Swiss ice hockey players. Over 3,000 Twitter users are interested in Simonazzi's posts and photos of Federal Council meetings with foreign ministers and members of the government mingling with the people.
Simonazzi's interests on Twitter, on the other hand, are not very wide-ranging. He follows just six Twitter users. The Pope is not among them, but the DDPS is. Simonazzi also follows the Uvek, Interior Minister Alain Berset, the Swiss Parliament, the Ch.ch portal - and the Young Journalists. (uma)
