In its reporting on the sanctions against retired Swiss Colonel Jacques Baud, the NZZ asks who will be next.
“Where will it end? And could it also affect Roger Köppel? The former SVP National Councillor is certainly the most prominent Swiss figure in this context. Köppel traveled to Moscow several times and this summer called on the Federal Council to lift the sanctions against Russia. He and his magazine Weltwoche were dubbed the “Swiss-Moscow Connection” by German media in the spring, after it became known that content from Russia Today had appeared in Weltwoche. And finally, Jacques Baud has also been a guest contributor to this magazine.”
