Official celebration of 2,000 years of Solothurn

Solothurn celebrates its bimillennium. Alain Berset first plays with the local passion for the number eleven: his name, ALAIN BERSET, has eleven letters; the town clock shows only eleven hours.

Then he speaks of the spirit of Wengi, of compromise and shared sovereignty, all the way to Europe: “Gute Kompromisse sind oft grösser als der kleinste gemeinsame Nenner.”
