The President of Switzerland is changed annually on January 1st. The head of state becomes one of the members of the Federal Council (government) on a rotating basis.

Viola Amgerd, head of the Swiss Department of Defense, Public Protection and Sports, has been the country’s president for a year. The Local reported this on Monday, January 1.

Amgerd, 61, is reportedly Switzerland’s first female defense minister. He will succeed President Olen Berse, who served until 2023.

It is worth noting that the Swiss President has no real power. It is renewed every year on January 1st. The head of state becomes one of the members of the Federal Council (government) on a rotating basis.

The President represents the state abroad, presides over meetings of the Federal Council and mediates in cases of disputes.

In emergency situations – for example, if the Federal Council cannot meet for some reason – the President of Switzerland can make unilateral decisions or order emergency measures.

The publication notes that Viola Amherd is the second French-speaking Swiss president in a row and the fourth not from a German-speaking canton.

Switzerland has decided to provide additional aid for Ukraine during the winter in the amount of 11.8 million Swiss francs (about 13.66 million US dollars).

The Swiss government can, in special cases, waive initial restrictions on the export of military equipment.
