Jauslin announced his change of party in a press release on Thursday. He had informed the FDP parliamentary group members and other key figures in the party of his change by post, he wrote.
According to Jauslin, his decision was reached over a long period of time. He places the public spirit, i.e. the common good, at the center of his political work. The public spirit is a central factor for the cohesion of Switzerland.
For him, the environment, climate, spatial planning and renewable energies are not fashionable topics, Jauslin continued. In his view, they should not be placed on the left-right axis, but should be tackled progressively. He no longer sees the will to do this in the FDP.
