Swiss President Parmelin resigns after 11 years
Giuliano Barmelin, the Swiss Minister of Economy and the President of the Confederation on a rotating basis, announced his resignation from his position at the end of December 2026 after serving 11 years in government. He explained that his decision was due to a decline in passion for work and a desire to make room for new blood, with no health issues or personal disruptions. He pointed out that some of the main challenges he faced included managing the COVID-19 pandemic crisis in 2021 and the tariff strike imposed by Trump in 2025. Nevertheless, his government achieved successes such as managing the pandemic with flexibility and signing trade agreements with India and Mercosur. He noted that he will continue to perform his duties until the end of the year, and elections for his successor are scheduled for December 2026.
