"After fourteen intensive years, the time has also come for me to make room for renewal," Flach wrote in a statement on Monday. Political institutions thrive on fresh forces with new perspectives taking on responsibility.
For him personally, it was also the right time to start something new once again. He will remain involved in politics - "simply in a different role outside of the National Council chamber", the 61-year-old continued.
The decision was not an easy one for him, Flach announced on Monday. Working in Parliament had been a great honour and a special privilege for him and had given him great pleasure. In his work in Parliament, he had been particularly committed to an open and internationally networked Switzerland.
