For the President of the Swiss Green Liberals, Jürg Grossen, the GLP must not allow itself to be co-opted by other parties. Grossen said this on Saturday at his party's virtual delegates' meeting.
With regard to media reports that the Center Party is asking its members about the idea of a merger with the GLP or that the GLP should join forces with the FDP, Grossen said: "The other parties have to solve their problems on their own." A merger would be attractive for them, "but we would gain nothing from it."
The GLP will celebrate its 20th birthday in Zurich in October, the Bernese National Councillor announced in his speech. The world is open to the 20-year-olds. They are beginning to reshape society according to their convictions and are increasingly asserting their influence. The GLP wants to do the same.
The Green Liberals are the progressive ones - the ones who are universally acknowledged to be fit for the future. It is therefore understandable that this makes the GLP attractive as a party.
