New cabinet photo a sombre affair
The new official photo of the seven-strong Swiss cabinet - plus the chancellor - shows Switzerland's government in a rather gloomy light.
But while such a picture might not be most citizens’ cup tea, this is the tenth time an official photo has been produced, and such is the demand for the print that 50,000 copies are being produced.
Shot in black and white, the picture of the Swiss president, Kaspar Villiger, flanked by his colleagues can be ordered over the Internet or picked up at Parliament free of charge from January 7.
