I had no idea we had exorcists!!! This was a good read; you clearly pay far more attention to Swiss news and politics than I do. Although I do watch the news on TSR quite regularly, once get to Guy Parmelin and his merry men my neurones start thinking up random poems. I wrote a funny poem for April Fools last year year, I think it's called Switzerland Declares Romcoms Obligatory Reading! I was quite pleased with it. I'll have a dig and repost it and tag you as a fellow Swissy!

Guy Parmelin as a muse! 🤣🤣 That thought makes me laugh even harder than your April Fool’s poem (which was great!).

Did you see what Guy Parmelin said the other day about America? I think it was when the tariff palaver dropped. He said he'd been up late because "ils ont six heures de retard!"! (they are six hours late!) Oh how my husband and I laughed! He's rather adorable in a Swiss down to earth way, don't you think?

Adorable in a charming bumbler kind of way, sure, but I simply cannot take him seriously as a member of government 🫣.
