Thurgau SVP criticizes communication of the SVP Switzerland

The Swiss People's Party (SVP) should change its public communication style. The Thurgau branch of the SVP wants the national party to adopt a constructive approach and to be involved in the government as well.

 The SVP Switzerland is to change its public communication style. The SVP Thurgau wants the federal party to take a constructive course and also be involved in the government, as reported by SDA. This is the only way the party can influence the course of events, said Thurgau party president Martin Stuber and National Councillor and Farmers' Association president Hans-Jörg Walter to the media on Thursday. They emphasized that they wanted to work towards the SVP Switzerland adopting the style of the cantonal party. In the Swiss SVP, the behavior of "certain people" must be addressed in public. The Thurgau party is mostly in agreement with the federal party on factual issues, but "we don't bash our political competitors", said Stuber.
Walter, for his part, expressed the hope that it would be possible to bring the two SVP federal councillors back into the parliamentary group during the current legislative period. Efficient, measurable, bourgeois politics were necessary if the party was to continue to be successful.
