Geneva, Graubünden, Schaffhausen and Ticino: these are the four points on my compass for the 2022 Federal Presidency. Switzerland is a melting pot of languages, cultures and opinions. We talk, think, laugh and dream in different ways, but we are one country. It is a small miracle, which we can preserve by continuing to shape Switzerland's future together.
