Earlier in January 2023, the newspaper Schweiz am Wochenende alleged repeated communication took place between a member of Switzerland’s interior ministry and the media group Ringier during the Covid pandemic. Since then accusations have been directed at Alain Berset, the minister in charge of the department, reported RTS. The information allegedly shared allowed the newspaper Blick, part of the Ringier Group, to publish information on the government’s Covid plans before other media. Marc Walder, the CEO of Ringier, had nothing to do with any leaks, said the group. This week, Berset assured his colleagues that he was not aware of any leaks from his department to the Ringier Group, reported RTS.
