Neutrality is a principle of foreign policy, not an emotional commitment

Neutrality initiative: arguments instead of slogans

by Prof. Dr em. Wolf Linder*

(13 June 2025) No sooner had the popular initiative “for a neutral, cosmopolitan and humanitarian Switzerland” been submitted than the mainstream media launched a chorus of condemnation, dubbing it “Blocher initiative” or “Putin initiative”. The aim was to discredit the popular initiative from the outset and stifle any objective discussion.

Russophobia is racism – Just like anti-Semitism

by Guy Mettan,* Geneva

(6 June 2025) It was to be expected that the 80th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany on 8  and 9 May this year would give rise to a wave of Russophobic hate speech against Russians and Russia. The most blatant insults were avoided, because it was difficult to spit on the 27 million dead that the Soviet Union sacrificed to liberate Europe from Nazism.

Plot to depose Ibrahim Traore thwarted

by Dr Peter F. Mayer*

(23 May 2025) More and more former colonies are throwing out their former colonial rulers. In doing so, they are ending more than a century of exploitation. Natural resources such as gold and uranium benefited only the colonialists, while the inhabitants were kept in poverty. That has changed, and the political West is not happy about it.

China

Chongqing, the global city the world prefers to ignore

by Guy Mettan,* Geneva

(23 May 2025) (CH-S) What do we know about China? News, reports and articles about the country are mostly negative due to the one-sided reporting of our mainstream media. Guy Mettan’s travelogue offers a very different perspective. Read it for yourself.
