The discussions between the richest one percent of the world and a man who fuels an aggressive atmosphere towards women and minorities has no place in Switzerland," said Tamara Funiciello, president of Young Socialists of Switzerland.

Not a very Swiss sounding name. None of the protesters names sound Swiss.

I wonder why that is?

8.1% of the Swiss are native Italian speakers. Italian is one of the four official languages in Switzerland.

0.5% of the Swiss speak Romansh, another Romance language descended from Latin.

Plenty of Swiss have names ending in vowels.

There are 3 distinct cultures in Switzerland (4 if you include Rhaeto-Romansh). German, French and Italian. So of course you a variety of names prominent in the country or a given region. Also people who have become citizens from other parts of Europe like the former Soviet bloc countries.
