France would have provided this confirmation, with two promises: on the one hand, Paris has shown itself ready to pay eight Swiss cantons a larger share of tax revenue from the salaries of cross-border workers. According to estimates, this would have brought in 3.5 billion francs over ten years. Secondly, Bruno Le Maire would have assured that France would support Switzerland in the future in all matters of European policy. The SRF, disclosing this, refers to four independent sources.
Once the pot of roses was discovered, Paris reacted abruptly, severing all high-level diplomatic relations with Switzerland. The disagreement between Bern and Paris still persists today. This is also linked to later statements by the DDPS of Viola Amherd, reports SRF.
