Antonio Planzer (born January 25, 1923 in Bellinzona ; † May 17, 1999 in Menzingen ) was a Swiss business lawyer and politician ( CVP ) in Zug .

Professional background.

Antonio Planzer made the 1943 Matura at the College Altdorf and then studied law at the Universities of Friborg and Geneva . In 1951 he was admitted to the bar in Zug and received his doctorate in 1955 . From 1954 to 1957 he worked at the Federal Supreme Court in Lausanne and from 1957 to 1988 he ran a law firm in Zug specializing in business cases. In 1982 Planzer was on 66 boards of directors, at the same time in addition to his part-time office in the Zug cantonal government. In 1975, Planzer faced unexplained death threats in connection with his legal work in southern Italy.

Political career

From 1958 to 1974 Planzer was secretary of the Zug trade association, from 1963 to 1974 a member of the large municipal council (parliament) of the city ​​of Zug , 1959 to 1974 cantonal councilor of the Christian Democratic People's Party (CVP), parliamentary group leader from 1971 to 1974, and from 1975 to 1982 councilor of the canton of Zug. As a member of the government, among other things, he was committed to expanding the social services of the canton of Zug.

Planzer was a controversial public figure. He had a large number of directorships and was involved in the so-called Zug police affair. The role of the politician in various scandals - such as the SKA scandal - remained unresolved and, together with the loss of the absolute majority of the CVP in 1982, led to the controversial director of economics being voted out of office.

As a member of the government, Planzer is said to have prevented the employment of left-wing teachers. This is what the Zug politician Jo Lang reports in a summary of a conversation with the politician in 1995. "We don't have any red teachers!" Antonio Planzer is said to have said in 1982, recalls Jo Lang in a 2017 interview.

In 1978 Antonio Planzer was committed to the creation of a historical formation of the Zug Beresina Grenadiers. The Zug Beresinagrenadier corps unites the Zug NCOs, a drum group from the canton of Zug and the harmony music of the city of Zug. The occasion was the reception of the Federal President Hans Hürlimann on December 7 , 1979 , who himself was from Zug.
