After the election, the political situation looks almost like it did in 2015: a strong SVP, weakened Greens, the Social Democrats on the rise. About a country in fear that once again trusts the right-wing populists.
The bar is called “Volver” in Spanish, and that’s probably what many people here want. Back to 2019, when the cheering never stopped. At that time, the Swiss Greens set a record: six percent more in one go, 17 new seats in the Swiss National Council. No party in stable Switzerland has managed such a landslide for decades. Late in the evening you could even see the rather reserved party president dancing in front of the “Volver”.
