A Federal Councillor needs a tie

Raphael Hünerfauth

During one of his first interviews as Federal Councilor, Albert Rösti, head of the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, and Communications (DETEC), needed a new tie. The old one had become stained, so someone was dispatched to buy a new one. The photographer had to wait that long, as Rösti remarked, "A Federal Councilor needs a tie." This resulted in the interview photo of Federal Councilor Rösti tying his tie in his office.
