Jura: The government poses with the population, but at a good distance – Switzerland

The official 2020 photo of the Jura government with its chancellor was taken in St-Ursanne, on the St-Jean Népomucène bridge. On this postcard site, the Cantonal Executive chaired this year by Martial Courtet poses in the presence of representatives of the population. Not as close as the Federal Council in 2008, under the presidency of Pascal Couchepin, but the coronavirus has been there …

For the government, the presence of citizens testifies to its desire to “underline a certain return to normalcy, to reconnect with direct contacts that were damaged during the time of semi-containment and more than ever to continue to maintain close ties with the population “.

Published on Friday, the photograph was only taken very recently: its realization was conditioned by the entry into office at the end of March of the new minister Rosalie Beuret Siess, “as well as by the sanitary measures which have since prevailed due of the coronavirus pandemic ”.

The photo was taken by the Jura photographer Pierre Montavon. “His concern never to take a photograph that has already been seen comes out again in this case,” said the Jura executive. The choice of the St-Jean Népomucène bridge can be explained by the recent renovation of this medieval structure.

“In this year marking the 1400th anniversary of the hermit’s death, there was every opportunity to shed more light on this multifaceted city, emblematic of the canton of Jura,” concluded the government.
