Tensions between Switzerland and the European Union over a planned institutional framework accord continued to simmer on Wednesday with European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker saying the Swiss government was responsible for the current stalemate in the negotiations.

“I have met with the [former] Swiss president [Doris Leuthard] eight times since coming to office, and have always indicated that an institutional framework accord is necessary,” said Juncker. “It was promised on many occasions, but has not materialized.”

“I remain, despite that, a friend of Switzerland — although I have always noticed on holidays that when I met Swiss people, they have (a) dim view of me,” said the former Luxembourg prime minister. “I think the Swiss government and the Swiss media have projected an image of me that in no way corresponds with reality.” […]

In November 2017, the then-Swiss President Doris Leuthard held a meeting in Bern with EU Commission President Juncker aimed at making progress on the accord, which they had hoped to complete by the end of 2017. But a month later, the EU pulled out the rug on the talks, saying Swiss stock markets would be only be able to continue trading EU shares for 12 months from January 3^rd, which is when new European financial regulations come into effect. …

Yeah, the guy who said stuff like “When it becomes serious, you have to lie”, “I am for secret, dark debates” and “Of course there will be transfers of sovereignty, but would I be intelligent to draw the attention of public opinion to this fact?”—I would say that the Swiss have his number.

Everything which is dishonest, self-important and underhanded floats to the top in the un-elected and corrupt quasi-government which calls itself the EU.

I pity the citizens of Europe who have to put up with this mob but their leaders chose this abdication of liberties which is slowly choking the life out of many fine cultures.

The Swiss ain’t the richest people on earth because they are stupid.

They have cottoned on that the EU is based on a tissue of lies and a major menace to liberty.

No they don’t. You are a snake. A nation destroying POS.

Thanks Olog-hai. The Swiss should throw his creepy ass off a mountain.

Juncker resents Switzerland being an impregnable fortress. Hitler resented it, too.
