Amarcord - Clifford Burns

Day 3,676, 06:07 • Published in Switzerland Switzerland • by Vincent Rekdal

Good morning eSwitzerland,

as I am a 'man from the past' I decide to start a new section of my newspaper called 'Amarcord', where I will tell you some stories from my time.
Some of you, just few of you, could smile remembering that lang syne and most of you could see how was the eSwitzerland before their born.

I decided to dedicate the first chapter of this section to Clifford Burns an extremely powerful politician who dominated the scene in those years or the hole of an ass, as Rican define him.

Twice country president he was very reach to be able to influence the national economy. Has was the leader of the Swiss Neutrality Party and was in charge also as Minister of Finance, Economy and Foreign Affairs.
His decline started when suspicions started on possible double accounts on his crew, as you can see and here.

The story of one of the most influential men in Switzerland ended up in the saddest way: banned for multi accounts!

A man from the past
