Désirée from "Café Bâle" runs for the Federal Council
The „Committee for a Genuine Election to the Federal Council,“ associated with the TV show „Café Bâle,“ wants to nominate a second candidate for the Federal Council seat being vacated by Joseph Deiss: Rinalda Caduff, known as the scatterbrained Désirée from the comedy series.
The "Committee for a genuine election to the Federal Council", which is based around the TV show "Café Bâle", wants to put forward a second candidate for the Federal Council seat vacated by Joseph Deiss: Rinalda Caduff, known as the scatterbrained Désirée from the SF comedy show. "When politics drives satire, satire has to drive politics," explained Klaus Vieli, committee president and managing director of Allcomm, the Allschwil-based company that produces "Café Bâle". Vieli expressed his indignation to Werbewoche about the fact that only one politician, Doris Leuthard, is being put forward for election to the united Federal Assembly: "This is reminiscent of the GDR before the fall of the Berlin Wall!".
At a press conference at the beginning of June, it will be made clear to the media that Rinalda Caduff is the more suitable Federal Councillor - without making any negative comments about Doris Leuthard. However, the figure of Désirée has so far stood out more for her fashion obsession than for her solid dossier expertise. She likes to confuse the cohesion billion with the collision billion. But she makes up for this with other qualities, says Vieli. Besides, federal councillors also have their advisors. He admits that time is short to launch a new candidate. But at least it is enough to set an example.
Rinalda Caduff is running without a party: "She is running for the whole of Switzerland," says Vieli. Her nomination should bring a glimmer of hope to the country. Or perhaps above all attention for "Café Bâle"? If that is a by-product of the campaign, he has nothing against it, says Vieli. But it is much more urgent to do something when politics becomes a smear campaign. All we can do now is wish Ms. Caduff a good luck for the election on June 14, 2006.Carole Scheidegger
