SUMMARY:Opening of the Comptoir Suisse

SUMMARY:Distinction romande d’architecture
DESCRIPTION:Alain Berset presents the Distinction romande d’architecture. He opens with a story by Thomas Bernhard\, in “The Voice Imitator”: the mayors of Pisa and Venice wanted to swap the leaning tower and the campanile\, and ended up committed to an asylum. \nFrom it he draws a reflection on the link between architecture\, place and identity. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nDistinction romande d’architecture (French-language page)

SUMMARY:Swiss Media Congress
DESCRIPTION:At the publishers’ congress\, Alain Berset gives his clearest speech of the year on Swiss identity: “Verschweizerung – aber richtig!”. He opens with Einstein: if the world were to end\, he would want to be in Switzerland\, where everything happens a little later. \nGlobalisation and Europeanisation are questioning Swiss identity. “Die einfachste Antwort wäre natürlich Nationalismus.” But multilingual Switzerland cannot answer “Wir sind wir!”. He also reminds the publishers of their responsibility towards the French-language press\, naming Ringier and Tamedia. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nCongrès des médias suisses (in German\, French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFDHA\, speech of 12.09.2014

SUMMARY:First culture summit of the parliamentary group for culture
DESCRIPTION:The parliamentary group for culture holds its first “Kulturgipfel”\, devoted to the Culture Message 2016–2019. Alain Berset compares the exercise to mountaineering: one meets political pitfalls\, perhaps crevasses.

SUMMARY:92nd Congress of the Swiss Abroad
DESCRIPTION:Alain Berset addresses the 92nd Congress of the Swiss Abroad. He opens with a list: without the Swiss Abroad\, no Ritz hotel\, no Chevrolet\, no Golden Gate Bridge\, no Madame Tussaud.

He stresses the Swiss schools abroad: “Bildung ist unsere wichtigste Ressource.” \nSpeeches on this site \n\nNiemand kennt die Schweiz so gut wie die Auslandschweizer (in German\, French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFDHA\, speech of 16.08.2014

SUMMARY:National Day in La Chaux-de-Fonds
DESCRIPTION:Alain Berset celebrates National Day in La Chaux-de-Fonds. He starts from the bust of Louis Chevrolet\, a native of the town\, and the motto engraved on a memorial in Indianapolis: “Never give up”. The town\, shaken by the watchmaking crisis of the 1970s\, managed to diversify. \nHis message\, “Let us learn to appreciate otherness”: 130 mobile phones per 100 inhabitants are not enough to talk to one another. He congratulates the town on its twinning with Winterthur and hopes that every municipality will twin with a town in another language region. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nSachons apprécier l’altérité (French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFDHA\, speech of 31.07.2014

SUMMARY:Fondation Beyeler: opening of the Gerhard Richter exhibition
DESCRIPTION:At the Fondation Beyeler\, Alain Berset opens the exhibition “Gerhard Richter: Pictures/Series”. He starts with a difficulty: two things annoy Richter\, being told that his work is wonderful\, and talk about painting. \nHis speech\, “Gerhard Richter – Offenheit als Identität”\, makes the openness and variety of the work a form of identity. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nFondation Beyeler (in German\, French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFDHA\, speech of 17.05.2014

SUMMARY:Primary medical care: talk in Fribourg

SUMMARY:Primary medical care: talk in Lucerne
DESCRIPTION:One month before the vote\, Alain Berset defends the constitutional article on primary medical care in Lucerne. He quotes the humanist Albrecht von Bonstetten\, for whom Lucerne was “recht Nabel und das Mittel der Eidgenossenschaft”\, and takes care to remain neutral between the carnivals of Lucerne and Basel. \nThe argument: medicine needs both cutting-edge care and primary care\, and the latter rests on family doctors\, who lack successors. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nVotation sur les soins médicaux de base (Lucerne) (in German\, French-language page)
