Context: In 2020, the people voted that current jurisdiction shall not be amended that would have lowered wolf-protection in the country.
Farmers keep complaining & crying about wolves killing their sheep. They conveniently do not mention that they get subsidies by the state for them. Plus, they put sheep onto cliffs in the Alps where they fall to death. It‘s all about getting money.
As soon as Rösti became member of the Federal Council (btw: I want to be able to vote on who I want in this council, but that‘s another topic), he bends down for the farmer lobby and pushed through an amendment, TOTALLY IGNORING THE PEOPLES VOTE AND THEREFORE UNDERMINED DEMOCRACY, that lowered wolf-protection (plus other animals such as lynx‘) which allows hunters to shoot them dead, despite the fact that people voted against it in 2020!
I consider myself somewhat right-leaning with common sense, but this guy has to be REMOVED from office immediately! What an absolute, total embarrassment this guy is, just so terrible to have someone like that representing our beautiful country! Sad!!!
Albert Rösti makes my blood boil, here‘s why:

He a politician, he cares for himself. What do you expect? My guess is that he’ll thrive.
this guy is a bauernverband shill, shame on rösti
I think its good, its not your sheep that get attacked, you know?
How about you volunteer to have the wolves moved to your backyard. I’ll sign the petition.
What is the point of wolves again?
As far as I know the parlament voted to lower the threshold and allowed cantons to pro-actively reduce wolf population in 2022. So you should blame the parlament (or those that voted yes) for going against the 2020 vote.
Rösti is obviously pushing his “aggressive“ views on the topic, but I don’t see him as the main culprit.

Ok, but stuff like this happens all the time in Switzerland. Don’t really know why it should be different in this case. Also, remember that a national maternity leave insurance became a constitutional requirement in 1945, but was only implemented in 2005.
