She has not spoken a single time during the 450-hour debate that took place at the National-low Chamber of the Swiss Parliament, along this legislature.
She hasn't spoken, but she's always been there.
The “is a deliberate decision because speaking in parliament doesn't change anything: decisions have only been taken before the debate by commissions and at group meetings”, she said, reports local Swiss media, followed Kosovas.
The talks in parliament, she views as a theatre show for the media, adding that she prefers to have bilateral debates and be active in what happens behind the stage.
