When a Federal Counselor speaks to the media, he rarely says “I”. Because he is always part of a collegiate authority, a “we”. Not that Ignazio Cassis has now turned this logic upside down; One can accuse the Minister of Foreign Affairs of many things, but he is not excessively self-centered. However, he emphasized on Monday night, in a short-lived Point de Presse, that it was him. He has made the flow of money more transparent and more than halved the number of Palestinian non-governmental organizations in recent years, from 70 to 30. A small moment of inner satisfaction for the much-maligned head of the Department of Foreign Affairs (EDA). ).
