Several people resign from Crans-Montana victims foundation
There have been several resignations from the board of the Beloved Foundation, which provides support to victims of the Crans-Montana fire tragedy.
In total, between late June and mid-August, four out of nine members stepped down from their posts.
Representatives of the families of the Italian, Swiss and French victims have therefore stepped down. “I would like to make it clear that these people did not all leave at the same time,” Christian Cardon, the director of the Foundation’s executive office, told Keystone-ATS on Saturday. He was confirming a report by Swiss public television RTS.

“Given the sensitivity and importance of this mission, and following discussions with the families of the first victims, the Foundation also took the opportunity, at the start of its mandate, to make the necessary adjustments to ensure that the competent and committed individuals required for this task were seated around the table,” he added.
