SUMMARY:27th French-speaking Yodelling Festival
DESCRIPTION:Alain Berset speaks at the 27th French-speaking Yodelling Festival in Plaffeien\, which also marks the 75th anniversary of the French-speaking Yodellers’ Association. He refrains from greeting the audience with a “Jutz”: his abilities lie in politics\, not in singing. \nHe tells the story of the association’s founding\, “typisch schweizerisch”: a quarrel with the German speakers\, then a French-speaking section within the national federation. Yodelling as a bond across the Sensegraben. \nSpeeches on this site \n\n27e Fête romande des Yodleurs (in German\, French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFederal Council\, speech of 10.06.2012

SUMMARY:Argomed: the managed care reform ahead of the vote
DESCRIPTION:Three weeks before the vote\, Alain Berset defends the managed care revision at the information evening of Argomed\, a company that supports doctors’ networks. He says it from the outset: he will vote yes on 17 June\, out of personal conviction as much as by virtue of his office. \nHe explains the bill: freely formed integrated care networks\, contracts with insurers\, shared budgetary responsibility. The networks have existed for twenty years; according to the Forum Managed Care survey he cites\, four out of five already meet the requirements of the law. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nArgomed : la réforme Managed Care (in German\, French-language page)

SUMMARY:Opening of the Schaffhausen Jazz Festival
DESCRIPTION:Alain Berset opens the Schaffhausen Jazz Festival. Only his position allows him to be there\, he says: as a musician\, he would not have been booked. He mentions his “brief career as a bar pianist in South America”. \nHe draws the parallel between jazz and politics: a craft learned by practice\, the repertoire\, and improvisation\, which demands “a very great open-mindedness” and listening to others. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nOuverture du festival de jazz de Schaffhouse (in German\, French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFederal Council\, speech of 02.05.2012

SUMMARY:Pro Senectute national symposium on successful ageing
DESCRIPTION:Alain Berset brings the Federal Council’s greetings to the Pro Senectute symposium on ageing well and solidarity between generations. He recalls the federal decree of 1929 on aid to destitute elderly people and the nearly quarter of a century it took to go from the constitutional article on OASI to the 1948 law. \nHis formula\, in French in a German speech: “Stabilité ne veut pas dire immobilité.” The quality of social insurance is not set in stone: it must be secured for the long term\, and therefore reformed in good time. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nColloque national Pro Senectute sur le vieillissement réussi (in German\, French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFederal Council\, speech of 26.04.2012

SUMMARY:1400th anniversary of Saint Gall
DESCRIPTION:Alain Berset speaks at the celebration of the 1400th anniversary of Gall’s arrival in St. Gallen. He rereads the legend: the fever that held back the Irish monk was probably an inner struggle\, his refusal to follow his abbot Columbanus. \nHe draws from it a lesson on freedom\, quoting the preamble to the Constitution. “Freiheit ist das grösste Gut der Menschen. Und es ist das unbequemste.” Freedom must be won\, including against one’s own convictions of yesterday. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nGallusjubiläum (in German\, French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFederal Council\, speech of 20.04.2012

SUMMARY:Opening of the 26th Fribourg International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Alain Berset opens the 26th edition of the FIFF\, the first under artistic director Thierry Jobin. He returns as a regular: his position has changed\, “the pleasure of discovering new films” has remained. \nHe defends the “right to diversity\, artistic and human”: only 3 to 4% of the films shown in Switzerland come from neither the United States nor Western Europe. The festival opens with “Sal” by the Chilean Diego Rougier. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nOuverture du 26e Festival international de films de Fribourg (French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nculture360.org (ASEF)\, 2012

SUMMARY:Culture and Economy Forum
DESCRIPTION:For the first time\, Alain Berset addresses the cultural delegates of the cantons and cities and the private partners in cultural promotion\, gathered in St. Gallen. He thanks business and patrons\, whose commitment “sets an example”. \nHe proposes a distinction borrowed from science: a “basic culture”\, a field for experimentation that the Confederation must guarantee\, and an “applied culture”\, more oriented towards the public. And he quotes an African proverb: “a man without culture is like a zebra without stripes”. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nForum Culture et Économie (French-language page)

SUMMARY:Managed care: launch of the referendum campaign
DESCRIPTION:Alain Berset opens the campaign for the revision of the Health Insurance Act on integrated care networks (managed care)\, put to the people on 17 June. He presents it with Carlo Conti\, President of the Swiss Conference of Cantonal Health Directors\, and its Vice-President\, Philippe Perrenoud. \nThe Federal Council and Parliament recommend a yes. The argument: networks of doctors and carers who follow the patient throughout the treatment improve the quality and safety of care and curb rising costs. It is the first vote the new head of the FDHA defends. \nSources \n\nFederal Council\, press release of 22.03.2012

SUMMARY:Trendtage Gesundheit: the patient of tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:At the 8th Trendtage Gesundheit in Lucerne\, Alain Berset opens with an admission: according to the questionnaire on the organisers’ website\, he is “ein schwieriger Fall”. He does not look up his symptoms on the internet and does not ask for a diagnosis on Facebook. “Ich bin zwar einer der jüngsten Bundesräte in der Geschichte\, ich bin aber in diesem Bereich offenbar hoffnungslos antiquiert.” \nThe substance: the health system suffers from several illnesses at once\, and everyone has their own therapy. Health policy must not follow the principle of speed: first the causes must be established seriously\, then treated without the remedies cancelling each other out. \nSpeeches on this site \n\n8e Trendtage Gesundheit Luzern – Le patient de demain (in German\, French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFederal Council\, speech of 21.03.2012

DESCRIPTION:Alain Berset speaks at the gala dinner of the 11th French-speaking colloquium of the WHO Healthy Cities\, in La Chaux-de-Fonds\, one of the 90 “healthy cities” of the WHO European network. \nHe defends the local level: the most important determinants of health are played out first in the city\, its urban planning\, its schools\, its neighbourhoods.

SUMMARY:Opening of the new permanent exhibition of the Musée gruérien
DESCRIPTION:Alain Berset opens the new permanent exhibition of the Musée gruérien\, a few kilometres from where he grew up. He says so: he has not come “with a heavy heart”. \nHis point: roots are not a withdrawal; they allow “one’s gaze to rise higher”. Switzerland is only beginning to grasp the extent of its living traditions\, from the Lyoba to the Bénichon; they must be celebrated “not out of narrow nationalism\, but out of pride”. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nInauguration du Musée gruérien – Les clés du futur se trouvent (aussi) dans le passé (French-language page)

SUMMARY:Solothurn Film Festival: Swiss Film Award nominations night
DESCRIPTION:Together with Christian Frei\, President of the Swiss Film Academy\, Alain Berset opens the nominations night for the Swiss Film Award “Quartz 2012” at the Solothurn Film Festival. 33 nominees share nine categories. \nHis message to the industry: “Die Zeit der Grabenkämpfe in der Filmbranche ist – vorerst – vorbei.” The new film funding schemes for 2012–2015 must prove themselves; he finds the “Kunst gegen Kommerz” debate “steril und veraltet”. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nDie Schweiz – stabil und aufregend!

SUMMARY:Launch of the Rousseau Tercentenary
DESCRIPTION:On the Île Rousseau\, Alain Berset opens the year marking the tercentenary of the birth of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. It is the first time he appears “as minister of culture”. \nHe declines to give a eulogy: the point is not to bring Rousseau into the Panthéon\, “he is already there”\, but to “bring him out of it”. He stresses the contradictions of the author of the Social Contract\, inspirer of 1789 and enemy of revolutions\, master of introspection and committed man\, who writes in the Confessions that “everything depends on politics”. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nLancement du Tricentenaire de Rousseau (French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFederal Council\, speech of 19.01.2012

SUMMARY:60 years of the Swiss National Science Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Ten days after taking office\, Alain Berset brings the Federal Council’s congratulations to the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) on its 60th anniversary. It is one of his first public appearances as head of the FDHA\, then responsible for education and research. \nHe recalls two figures: Switzerland\, together with Finland\, is world champion in the number of scientific articles per inhabitant\, and second behind the United States for their international recognition. This success\, he says\, is largely due to the SNSF\, which allocates its funds on a single criterion: the quality of the projects and of the researchers. \nSpeeches on this site \n\n60 ans du Fonds national suisse de la recherche scientifique (FNS) (French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFederal Council\, speech of 11.01.2012
