Swiss Culinary Championships

Alain Berset speaks before the prize-giving of the Swiss Culinary Championships. The speech extends the metaphor: “Im Bundesrat haben wir sieben Köchinnen und Köche, die politisch backen, braten, grillieren – zum Glück nicht einander.”

Swiss democracy, he says, turns the proverb on its head: the more cooks, the better.
