Beat Jans, newly appointed Minister of Justice and Police in Switzerland, initially garnered praise for ambitious reforms in asylum policy. However, as the year progressed, he struggled to maintain momentum, with 24-hour asylum processes averaging 13 days. Criticism intensified from both right and left political spectrums, with notable opposition to his efforts to protect Ukrainian refugees. While some on the left, like Samira Marti, acknowledged his successes, others expressed disappointment over unmet expectations. Political analysts note that Jans’s experience reflects ongoing tensions within Swiss asylum policy.
