Member of the Swiss Federal Assembly, Stéfanie Prezioso asks Switzerland to no longer welcome Paul Biya
It is a real scene of war attended by the inhabitants of the Canton of Geneva this Saturday during the demonstration organized by the activists of the Anti Sardinards Brigade (ASB). The clashes between the police and demonstrators marked by tear gas jets and rubber bullets have been described by the Swiss press as a “scene of riots“.
A few hours after the demonstration, RTS, the Swiss national radio station, organized a debate on the stay in Geneva of the current tenant of the Etoudi Palace. As guests, Murat Alder, PLR MP (Liberal-Radical Party) and Stéfanie Prezioso, Ensemble MP. If the first parliamentarian criticized the demonstration and the activists’ act of defiance of the Swiss authorities, the second was not at all kind to Paul Biya.
For Stéfanie Prezioso, the President of the Cameroonian Republic, Paul Biya should no longer be welcomed in Geneva.
“If Switzerland is consistent with the role it has, that is to say both as a mediator in the context of the conflict in Cameroon and at the same time if it was consistent with its own federal constitution, it is that is to say the promotion and respect for human rights and the promotion of democracy, this president should no longer be welcomed in Geneva “defended Stéfanie Prezioso.
“We are talking about someone who has been in power for over 50 years, we are talking about the thousands of dead, hundreds of thousands of displaced people. We’re talking about someone accused of a war crime. Switzerland is protecting a dictator, ”insulted the member of the canton of Geneva at the National Council.
