at the beginning of may, the Parliament meets for a maximum of five days. It is debated, however, is not in the Federal house, but on the grounds of the Bern Expo. “The Parliament has the right and duty to join in this extraordinary situation, the work of the Federal Council, calmly and critically and, if necessary, to take corrective action”, says the Swiss Council of States President Hans Stöckli (67 SP).
It was a broad Alliance, from the state councillors, who requested the extraordinary Session.

politicians are looking for “the spotlight”
The SVP group, with the bears, however, the Session only under the condition that the Federal Council declared a state of emergency, currently until the 19th century. April does not extend. And also from other parties critical of the vote log. BDP national councillor Lorenz Hess (58), for example. “There are those parliamentarians who have to justify an extraordinary Session of the state politically. I can still understand,” says Berner. “I can’t get rid of but easy to get the impression that a number of my mates suffer simply signs of withdrawal, and now the missing ramp seeks the light.”
In a crisis situation, the principle applied only once: “The top results. The analysis comes later.” The Parliament will have plenty of opportunity to ask the Federal Council critical questions, says Hess. “But the danger is that the Parliament acts as an accelerant and the fragile sets of political Consensus on the game is.”
