Anyone who thinks that this exhausts the horizon of great Swiss columnists is very much mistaken. from the forest is not small: Prof. Walter Wittmann from Bad Ragaz has been challenging the entire Swiss financial centre for years, and has long described its downfall due to incompetence.
Dr. Thomas Held , once head of Avenir Suisse, who as the son of a banker became a radical leftist and is now working for Dr. Christoph Blocher to renovate an old monastery, is a warning voice turkey rcs data for openness and reason. Also in this category is the former CVP General Secretary and multi-functional consultant Iwan Rickenbacher , whose columns, mostly in central Switzerland, express his religiously based belief that Switzerland can once again be governed sensibly.
The example of the St. Gallen ex-banker Dr. Konrad Hummler shows just how endangered the journalistic existence of a highly talented columnist can be . His columns in the “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” always met with high expectations from a committed readership. With his (forced) resignation from the board of directors of the “Neue Zürcher Zeitung”, which was the result of an attack by the New York judiciary on the Wegelin bank he managed, it became clear to even the most unbiased person that it was not Hummler’s quality as a columnist that counted, but his social position. With the loss of this, he was no longer in demand as a columnist at the NZZ.
