Following a call for her resignation by the Grand Council on Tuesday, Vaudois Minister Valérie Dittli faced renewed criticism Wednesday regarding alleged inaccuracies in her public statements. The Commission de gestion du Grand Conseil (COGES), while presenting its 2025 annual report on the state’s management, highlighted Dittli’s “alternative truths” and “attempts to interfere to impose a narrative.”
Concerns Raised Over Accuracy
Oriane Sarrasin (PS), president of COGES, detailed what some have termed the “Dittli method,” describing it as requests for modifications that do not align with facts, accompanied by promises of supporting evidence that are never provided.
The Grand Council’s request for Dittli’s resignation followed the publication of the Meylan report, which reportedly detailed repeated inaccuracies in her statements.
It remains possible that Minister Dittli could address these concerns and attempt to regain the confidence of the Grand Council. However, a continued lack of transparency could lead to further calls for her resignation. The Council of State has three months to respond to the resolution, though it has no legal authority to remove a member.
