Julien Magnollay

An investigative report on the wild past of the omnipresent coordinator of the Swiss People's Party (SVP) in French-speaking Switzerland. The article appeared just as he had declared his candidacy for the Lausanne municipal council (executive). The aim was to shed light on the early life of this essential politician, who enjoyed an intense political career in the Jura region before starting anew in Lausanne. His Bernese past was until then little known and little documented in the canton of Vaud.
