The cantonal committee of the Centre Vaud met in Prilly Thursday evening to address the situation surrounding Valérie Dittli, choosing to delay any decisions regarding her future. Despite internal criticism and increasing political pressure, the party’s strategic body reaffirmed its confidence in the State Councillor, postponing further decisions. This followed a resolution passed by the Grand Council of Vaud on Tuesday calling for Dittli’s resignation, though that resolution was described as symbolic.
Internal Divisions
The meeting took place in a climate of high tension, less than a week after the publication of the Meylan report. A “fronde,” or rebellion, is reportedly organizing within the regional sections of the party. According to information available, a large majority of these sections had already expressed their opposition to supporting the minister last Friday.
Implications and Possible Next Steps
The Centre Vaud’s decision to postpone a decision on Dittli’s future suggests internal disagreement on how to proceed. While the party has publicly expressed confidence, the reported opposition from regional sections indicates a potential rift. The Grand Council’s resolution, though symbolic, adds to the pressure on Dittli.
It is possible the Centre Vaud will revisit the issue at a later date, potentially after further assessment of the situation. The future of Valérie Dittli within the party remains uncertain, and a definitive resolution could grab time to emerge.
