Spring Session Midpoint Returns to Premiums and Transport Credits

BERN - The spring session's second week looked like an ordinary sitting: premium-cost motions, a transport credit, and committee reports that will not make a poster. Party groups still argued about SRG in the corridors. On the floor they argued about francs for rails.

Whips already knew some texts would miss 20 March. A four-day special session in late April is the overflow valve.

Ballots change the speeches

Losing the climate fund made Green motions on spending more cautious. Winning individual taxation made Centre speakers keener to talk about implementation dates. The overflow sitting is 27 to 30 April.
