It was today 718 years ago, that the first three Swiss cantons formed a union when they wrote and signed the Bundesbrief.
Today that union has grown to a total of 26 cantons but has lost none of its vigor and still stands proud as an island of freedom, neutrality and independence. If anyone gives Brussels a big “up yours!” it’s this country.
There may be some critics, but the fact that the quality of life is very high, taxes are low, income is high and every rich person trusts us with their money must mean we’ve gotten something right.
May this federation last forever!
