Der Bund: Bernese government files complaint with the Press Council

The cantonal government of Bern has lodged a complaint with the Swiss Press Council regarding articles in the newspaper Der Bund on the future of Bern's main railway station. The reports were unfair and unnecessarily damaged Bern as a business location.
Specifically, the government accuses the federal government of having repeatedly and repeatedly violated the declaration of duties and rights of journalists, as detailed in a press release issued on Thursday. For example, the newspaper gave the impression that those responsible for planning had only commissioned an external expert opinion on the planned expansion of the railroad station at a cost of around one billion Swiss francs under pressure from the federal authorities. The canton of Berne had obtained this on its own initiative.
The editor-in-chief of the Bund, Artur K. Vogel, said at the request of the SDA that as soon as the Press Council contacted the Bund, it would make a statement via the legal department of the new owner Tamedia. It is clear that the Bund will continue to report critically on Bernese politics to the same extent as before.
