The Socialist Party (SP) seeks to ban donations from systemic banks to political parties, despite receiving funds themselves, including 43,000 francs from Raiffeisen. Co-chair Cédric Wermuth argues that avoiding a banking crisis is paramount, even if it means forgoing such donations. The SP's stance raises questions about ethical consistency, as other parties, particularly the UDC, have benefited significantly from these banks.
UBS's takeover of Credit Suisse has left the Anny Klawa-Morf Foundation without its main donor, as Credit Suisse ceased contributions in 2022. Despite the SP's stance against donations from systemic banks, bourgeois parties accepted funds from Credit Suisse in 2023, citing prior commitments and the need for financial support during an election year. The situation has sparked accusations of hypocrisy and raised questions about the ethics of accepting money from a failing institution.
The downfall of Credit Suisse (CS) and Switzerland's EU relations have highlighted the SVP's controversial role, particularly through figures like Ueli Maurer and Magdalena Martullo-Blocher, who resist EU cooperation. The complex path towards renewing treaties with the EU raises questions about future referendums and the potential for full EU membership, which remains distant. Meanwhile, the EEA option, previously rejected, could have simplified Switzerland's EU relationship, as seen with Norway and Liechtenstein.
