Federal Council: Switzerland's military alignment is now official
There's no more ambiguity. There is no hypothesis. There is no more “theory”.

The Council of States has [...]

The Swiss franc is no longer a strong currency - it's a slowly diminishing one
In 1971, a 1,000 Swiss franc note could buy almost 6 ounces of gold. Today, that same note can't even buy a third of that amount. In half a century, the franc has lost almost 95 % of its real value against the only monetary standard that never lies. Even the currency known as ’the most [...]
Switzerland-EU: When the Confederation organises long-term political irresponsibility
Hans-Ulrich Bigler's article published on Nau.ch lays bare what many have sensed but which the Federal Council has never clearly admitted: Switzerland is committed to a legal mechanism of irreversible migration and social exclusion, the budgetary effects of which are deliberately minimised - even concealed - to the point of denial. Behind the technocratic vocabulary of the future [...]
From neutrality to alignment: is Switzerland already following the path of Sweden and Finland?
For decades, Sweden and Finland, each in their own way, embodied a form of armed, prudent and strategic neutrality. In just a few months, under geopolitical pressure, this neutrality was abandoned. NATO expanded. The point of no return has been reached. This shift is no accident. It is the result of a [...]

And the fox is advancing against it, hungry for power, standards, competence and submission. He does not roar. He flatters. He promises. He entices. Like a [...]
Switzerland-EU: the illusion of control... and the demographic time bomb
There are shifts that make no noise. No tanks, no coup d'état, no visible collapse. Just numbers, treaties, directives, “technical adjustments”. And yet these are the things that profoundly transform a country. The interview with the economist Rainer Eichenberger published by 20 Minuten is not a [...]
The Centre betrays monetary freedom - and Swiss sovereignty
On 8 March 2026, Switzerland will be voting not just on cash, but on the real freedom of its citizens to have their own currency. Yet the party that claims to represent the “responsible centre” of our country - the Centre - has chosen to side resolutely with the technocrats and the banks rather than with the people. [...]
