Swiss President steps down after 11 years
Gé Barmazelin, the Swiss Minister of Economy and the President of the Confederation on a rotating basis for 2026, announced his resignation from the federal government after 11 years in office, effective at the end of December. He explained that his decision stems from a decline in his enthusiasm for his work and a desire to make way for new leadership, emphasizing that it is unrelated to any health issues. Throughout his career, he faced major challenges, including managing the COVID-19 pandemic crisis in 2021 and dealing with a tariff imposition by Trump in 2025. However, he departs with notable successes, such as effectively managing the pandemic and securing trade agreements with India and Mercosur. He will continue to perform his duties until the end of December, while the Swiss People's Party opens nominations for his successor.
