New Leadership in Swiss Parliament: Eva Herzog and Eric Nussbaumer Take on Key Roles
In early December 2023, the Swiss National Council and Council of States elected new presidents, ending the terms of Eva Herzog and Eric Nussbaumer. Herzog, representing Basel-Stadt, has been appointed President of the Council of States, while Nussbaumer from Basel-Landschaft has become President of the National Council. Both leaders reflect on their past year in office, discussing their experiences in fostering parliamentary diplomacy and maintaining political neutrality, as well as the advantages of their regional and party alignment.
