On Sunday, a political earthquake occurred in the canton of Jura. The Swiss People's Party (SVP) ousted the centre from the National Council. The Jura will now be represented in the National Council by the former SP National Councilor Pierre-Alain Fridez and the newly elected SVP politician Thomas Stettler.
This political shift marks a significant change in the political landscape of the canton of Jura. For the first time in its history, the SVP will have a seat in the National Council, while the centre will no longer be represented. This shift is likely to have a major impact on the canton's politics, as the SVP is known for its conservative and nationalist policies.
The election of Thomas Stettler is a major victory for the SVP, as he was the only candidate from the party to be elected. He is expected to bring a more conservative approach to the National Council, which could have a significant impact on the canton's politics.
The election of Pierre-Alain Fridez is also significant, as he is the only SP representative in the National Council. He is expected to bring a more progressive approach to the National Council, which could have a positive impact on the canton's politics.
Overall, the election of Thomas Stettler and Pierre-Alain Fridez to the National Council marks a major shift in the political landscape of the canton of Jura. It is likely to have a significant impact on the canton's politics, as the SVP and SP will now have a greater influence in the National Council.
