Grissini & Alpenbitter: Meine Jahre als BundesrätinRuth Metzler Arnold blickt zurck auf fast fnf Jahre als Bundesrtin. Es ist der persnliche und kritische Rckblick einer selbstbewussten Frau, die mit Freude und Elan an der Gestaltung der Zukunft der Schweiz mitgearbeitet hat. Sie schildert ihre bereichernden Kontakte mit Brgern, Parlamentariern, auslndischen Ministern, Flchtlingen und Wirtschaftsfhrern. Sie erzhlt, wie sie den 10.

Ruth Metzler-Arnold blickt zurück auf fast fünf Jahre als Bundesrätin. Es ist der persönliche und kritische Rückblick einer selbstbewussten Frau, die mit Freude und Elan an der Gestaltung der Zukunft der Schweiz mitgearbeitet hat. Sie schildert ihre bereichernden Kontakte mit Bürgern, Parlamentariern, ausländischen Ministern, Flüchtlingen und Wirtschaftsführern. Sie erzählt, wie sie den 10. Dezember 2003 erlebt hat, als sie als Bundesrätin nicht wieder gewählt wurde.

Als im März 1999 die 35-jährige Ruth Metzler-Arnold in den Bundesrat gewählt wird, macht rasch das Wort „Metzler-Effekt“ die Runde. Unkompliziert und unbefangen analysiert die junge, dynamische Frau die politischen Probleme und macht sich zielorientiert an die Arbeit. Sie bewältigt die Auswirkungen des Kosovo-Konflikts auf die Schweiz, definiert eine Migrationspolitik, setzt sich für das Dossier Schwangerschaftsabbruch ein, kämpft für den bezahlten Mutterschaftsurlaub und befürwortet eine aktive Europapolitik.

Der starke Gestaltungswille von Ruth Metzler-Arnold bringt Bewegung in das Parlament und die Verwaltung. Und der Erfolg bleibt nicht aus: Während ihrer Amtszeit stimmt das Volk allen 14 Vorlagen aus ihrem Departement zu. Doch von ihrer Energie und Tempo sind viele überfordert. Das gilt insbesondere für ihre eigene Partei. Parteileitung und Bundesrätin leben sich auseinander, in der CVP-Bundeshausfraktion gewinnen die Bewahrer Oberhand, die Mutlosen lassen ihre mutige Bundesrätin fallen: Am 10. Dezember 2003 wird Ruth Metzler-Arnold von der Vereinigten Bundesversammlung nicht wieder gewählt.

Heavy linen character, but a beautifully tailored suit!
Color: Beige, Size: 4, Color: Beige, Size: 4
This is a really nice linen suit! The jacket is beautifully made and well-tailored, with a fun speckled texture that has lots of pretty color variation (we ordered the beige). When I placed it side by side with a similar linen suit from another brand, the difference in the linen texture was really noticeable — this had a much stronger linen character that stands out! It has three useful pockets on the outside of the jacket, which is great for little hands. The only downside is that one of the inside pockets is just for show (faux), which was a bit surprising and somewhat disappointing for my little guy. The pants have pockets too, but they aren’t very deep — perfect for small treasures, but not much more. The pants are made from a lighter, thinner single-layer linen compared to the fully lined, double-layer jacket, which makes sense for comfort and easy movement. The pants didn’t come with a front crease ironed in, so you’ll want to press one yourself. The linen did pick up some creases from being folded in the package, but it doesn’t seem quite as wrinkly as some other linen fabrics I’ve tried. Still, like most linen clothes, especially for boys, the pants will need occasional ironing to keep them looking neat and crisp, especially after a day of play and general wear. The structured, lined jacket stays looking smoother and more put-together with less effort. It also came with a bow tie, a neck tie, and a tuxedo-style white shirt as extras. The ties aren’t great quality — they’d work fine for quick photos but probably won’t hold up to much actual wear. The formal white shirt feels a bit funny paired with the casual linen suit, but I don’t mind at all. We already have white shirts that we prefer, so we’ll use those instead. For us, the extras are really just bonus items we won’t plan on using. Overall, it’s a handsome little suit that’s perfect for special occasions like weddings, family photos, or holiday events. My kid looked adorable in it! The stronger linen texture on the jacket gives it a premium feel that I really like. Just be ready for a bit of extra care with the pants to keep everything sharp.

Great suit set
Color: Light Grey, Size: 4
It is incredibly attractive and includes everything a young child needs for a special occasion. The material is a 75% polyester and 25% linen blend, and the outer fabric feels remarkably smooth. Its unstructured design allows for an attractive, natural drape, and the blend conveniently allows for machine washing at home. As is typical with linen-based materials, the fabric can be naturally stiff and prone to wrinkling, so I recommend ironing or steaming it before use. The lightweight feel makes it an excellent choice for the spring, summer, and fall months. Overall, this suit offers exceptional value for the price.

Summer wedding kids suit
Color: Navy, Size: 10 Years, Color: Navy, Size: 10 Years
Bought this suit for my son in the 10 youth size and honestly was pleasantly surprised by the quality for the price. The navy color looks sharp and dressy without being too stiff or uncomfortable. The material has a little stretch, which helped it fit nicely and made it comfortable for him to move around in. The adjustable waist was a huge plus, especially for growing kids. It fit true to size overall, though the blazer sleeves were slightly long on my son. The pants had a nice slim look without being too tight. We paired it with white sneakers for a more modern look and it came out adorable. This would be perfect for weddings, graduations, concerts, communion, school events, or family photos. Overall, very happy with the purchase and would definitely buy again.

Very Modern Handsome Suit
Color: Grey, Size: 7 Years, Color: Grey, Size: 7 Years
This is an incredibly sharp looking suit for the little guy. Great price and features, too. I made a mistake in sizing up instead of down and first one was too sloppy on him and would need alterations. He is thin and very thin in the waist. There is a lot of adjustment with buttons in waistband and coat hides the bunching. This shirt and coat will easily take a fuller body than slim I believe. He loves posing in it and feels very classy. Best purchase for a formal suit that will last longer than most kids clothes size wise. Felt bad about returning but careful folding and packing got it good as new.
