Interview with Dominique Froidevaux, director of Caritas Geneva, whose organization refused a donation of 100,000 francs from JTI. The interview was very difficult to secure and generated considerable media attention. However, no media outlet picked up on the theme addressed by Mr. Froidevaux: the reason why charities are forced to accept money from sometimes controversial patrons: the government's withdrawal.
