Der Bundesrat setzt einmal mehr auf Notrecht. Die Schweiz hat eine «Monster-Bank». Im Talk beziehen die Ständeratskandidatinnen Esther Friedli (SVP) und Barbara Gysi (SP) Stellung zu den jüngsten Entwicklungen. Am 30. April ist Stichtag. Drei Personen kämpfen um den zweiten St.Galler Ständeratssitz. Während sich der einzige männliche Kandidat, Lukas Alder, derzeit noch in Zurückhaltung übt, kreuzen Esther Friedli (SVP) und Barbara Gysi (SP) im Talk mit «Die Ostschweiz» die Klingen. Sie stellen sich den Fragen von Journalist Dani Sager und Chefredaktor Marcel Baumgartner. Ist Gysi mit ihrer Aussage nach dem ersten Wahlgang («Ich trete wieder an») vorgeprescht? Hat Friedli den Sitz schon auf sicher? Nach dieser Einleitung beziehen die beiden Kandidatinnen Stellung zur Banken-Situation. Sollen Boni zurückgezahlt werden? Wie wird die Rolle des Bundesrats bewertet? Und wie geht man als Parlamentarierin damit um, wenn man mit dem Begriff «Notrecht« ausgebremst wird? Hier der erste Teil der Debatte. Im zweiten Teil werden Themen wie «Neutralität», «Ukraine-Krieg» und «Europa-Politik» behandelt.
What do most Americans know about Andrew Jackson, apart from that he’s on the $20 bill and that he apparently had great hair? Probably not much. Maybe that he was a two-term president who pioneered the aggressive use of the powers of that office, and that he steadfastly opposed the sectionalizing, states-rights tendencies of the South Carolina nullifiers. In short, most of the conventional image of Andrew Jackson situates him firmly as an American. Mark Cheathem‘s new biography Andrew Jackson, Southerner (Louisiana State University Press, 2013) reminds us that Jackson was born and raised in the South, became a wildly successful plantation owner there, and based his formidable political coalition in the American Southwest. Moreover, many of the signal events of Jackson’s presidency — Indian removal, the Eaton Affair (sometimes called the “Petticoat Affair”), and his war against the “Monster Bank” are only fully understandable when Jackson’s southern background is accounted for. Mark Cheathem’s book will ensure that we will never again take Jackson’s southern roots for granted. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
