A spokesperson for the FDP canton of Zug confirmed a corresponding report in "Blick" on Monday. FDP President Thierry Burkart told Keystone-SDA that Schweiger was an "impressive personality" with an unerring, intelligent and clever argumentation as well as a sharp sense of humor.

Schweiger was a member of the Council of States for the FDP from March 1999 to December 2011. He was also its president for seven months in 2004.
