Undesirable developments, he commented directly to those it concerns. With Federal councillor Simonetta Sommaruga, a lot of links with him still, although he vehemently denied the existence of influence on her. If necessary, he uses his newspaper column for one of his dreaded stand timpani.In it, he shows quite the skilled chemist – precisely the situation.
