The Raven, the Fox and the Swiss Cheese - A modern fable of a sovereignty under siege

When it comes to history, Switzerland still has its cheese.

A rare cheese: its political freedom, its strong currency, its armed neutrality and its direct democracy.

And facing it, the fox advances, hungry for power, standards, competence and submission. He doesn't roar. He flatters. He promises. He entices. As in La Fontaine.

«How pretty you are, how beautiful you seem to me...»

These are the words of the European fox. It no longer speaks of conquest, but of “cooperation”. It no longer speaks of domination, but of “harmonisation”. It no longer speaks of legal absorption, but of “bilaterals”.

But the facts are stubborn.

The European Union is over 100,000 pages of constantly expanding law, which even its Member States are struggling to control.

In Switzerland, the law is concise, voted by the people and reversible by the people.

We are promised access to the market. But more than 55 % of our exports already go to the EU, without complete institutional submission.

We are promised safety. And yet.., no EU country is truly sovereign in monetary matters, the ECB, whose money supply has exploded by more than 400 % in 15 years.

We are promised stability. But the EU is more than 20 countries on life support, hundreds of billions in pooled debt, and chronic political instability.

And all the while, the fox flatters:

- You'll be stronger together.“

- “You'll gain influence.”

- Your prosperity depends on us.“

Historical lie.

Switzerland did not become prosperous through integration.

It became so through monetary independence, by neutrality, by legal stability, by budgetary discipline and the sovereignty of the people over the State.

Charles Pictet de Rochemont put it bluntly:

«A State that receives its law from abroad ceases to be a State.»

And Nicolas de Flue, the spiritual patron saint of Switzerland, warned as long ago as this:

«Don't get involved in the quarrels of grown-ups.»

The fable is well known: the crow, intoxicated by fine words, opens its beak - and loses the cheese.

Today, this cheese is called : our law, our currency, our neutrality, our direct democracy.

The fox is not hungry for our friendship.

He's hungry for our rules, of our commercial agreements, of our infrastructures, of our legal engineering, of our franc and, above all our political independence, Europe's last anomaly.

The trap is always the same:

We no longer steal by force. You get by dependence.

We no longer invade with tanks. We annex with treaties.

And each “technical agreement” is another thread around Swiss cheese.

Conclusion - Switzerland's moral compass

La Fontaine's moral is still as relevant as ever:

If you let yourself be flattered by the fox, you've already started to lose.

Switzerland does not need a political guardian.

It needs people on their feet.

This battle is not against a people's Europe.

He is against a Europe of technocracies, lobbies, out-of-touch judges and irreversible treaties.

Sovereignty is not negotiable. It must be defended.

Freedom is not shared with those who live by limiting it.

And as long as the crow holds on tight to his cheese,

the fox will stay on the ground.

Swiss sovereignty. Or disappearance.
