Why the “Rösti effect” could become a problem for the SVP
The SVP grounded the CO2-Law 2021 single-handedly. It is unlikely that she will also be able to do this in 2023 with the referendum against the climate protection law. This has to do with the «Rösti effect».
Key handover in the Department of Environment (UVEK): Simonetta Sommaruga (SP) resigns, Albert Rösti (SVP) takes over.
The wafer-thin no of June 13, 2021 to the CO2law came as a shock to red-green. All the more so since all parties were behind it – with the exception of the SVP.
