The Freethinkers' Association has made new appointments to its presidency at its delegates' meeting in Aarau. The assembly unanimously elected Sonja Stocker and Valentin Abgottspon to the co-presidency on Saturday.
Andreas Kyriacou stepped down from his position as President after eleven years, as the association announced on Sunday. Abgottspon was previously Vice President. He works as a teacher and humanistic ritual guide. Environmental engineer Sonja Stocker had previously been a member of the central board.
According to its own statements, Freethinkers Switzerland advocates a "secular-humanist ethic" in which human rights play a central role. They are committed to the concerns of non-denominational people and represent a "scientifically plausible world view".
