dispute escalates over future of gerlafingen steelworks amid job cuts

The dispute over the future of the Gerlafingen steelworks intensifies as SVP National Councillor Christian Imark accuses Economics Minister Guy Parmelin of spreading misinformation about steel production capacity in neighboring countries. Imark argues that only three relevant steelworks exist within 150 kilometers of Switzerland, countering Parmelin's claim of over twenty subsidized plants. Amid job cuts and rising electricity costs, Imark insists that legal adjustments are necessary to keep the plant profitable, warning that closure would be permanent.
