Political parties The new Juso president is Mirjam Hostetmann

The new President of Juso Switzerland is Mirjam Hostetmann. The 24-year-old former Vice-President succeeds Nicola Siegrist, who stepped down on Saturday after around two years in office.

The delegates of Juso Switzerland elected Hostetmann as their new president at their extraordinary annual meeting in Solothurn on Saturday, as the party announced. Capitalism must die "so that we can live", said the Obwalden native in her candidacy speech. She would fight with the Juso "for intersectional socialism, because that is the only answer to the crises of our time".
