Darbellay wants Leuthard in the Uvek

Following the resignation of SP Federal Councilor Moritz Leuenberger, CVP President Christophe Darbellay is determined to keep the DETEC in the hands of the center-right. Ideally, he would like to see it led by CVP Federal Councilor Doris Leuthard.

No department has as much influence on people's lives as the Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC). Doris Leuthard, in turn, is best suited to fulfill the tasks of the Uvek, Darbellay said on Saturday at the CVP party conference in Cham to the applause of around 250 delegates, according to SDA.
Leuthard has so far not shown any reluctance to move to the Uvek. However, she told SDA that it was still too early to discuss the distribution of departments. She first wanted to wait and see who would be elected to the Federal Council.
