Jon Pult, Member of the Swiss National Council, will keep his Italian passport alongside his Swiss one if he is elected to the Swiss Federal Council. "I will remain a dual citizen and will dedicate 100% of my efforts as a Federal Councilor to Switzerland," he said in Bern in front of the media. Pult responded to the question of whether it was too early to run for a seat in the Federal Council after only four years in the National Council by saying he felt ready. He called the question legitimate, but added: "If there is a desire to have a representative of the younger generation in the Federal Council, one cannot have the same expectations of experience." Pult is a trilingual native of the Swiss canton of Grisons. "I always spoke Italian with my mother and Romansh with my father," he said. In kindergarten and school, he practically only spoke German. "German is now my main working language, but I dream trilingual."
