Bundespräsidentin Karin Keller-Sutter setzt auf die Plattform X
Original
Keller-Sutter’s head of communications, Pascal Hollenstein, confirmed a corresponding report by Swiss media Tamedia to Keystone-SDA on Friday. Until now, the finance minister has not had an account. In future, she and her team will tweet under the user name @keller_sutter.
The first tweet was posted shortly before 10 am on Friday morning. “On this account, Federal Councillor Karin Keller-Sutter will provide information about her activities during her year as President of the Swiss Confederation from January 1, 2025. For topics relating to the Federal Department of Finance: @efd_dff,” it said in German, French, Italian and English.
While numerous players have left X (formerly Twitter) since Elon Musk took over the platform, Keller-Sutter appears to have high hopes for it. However, she only wants to use the platform to communicate with the population during the presidential year 2025. After that, it will be over again. She prefers to communicate directly with people and has no need to constantly post her state of mind online, she told Tamedia.
