Claude René Béglé (born December 4, 1949 in Bern ) is a Swiss manager and politician ( CVP ). From 2015 to 2019 he was a member of the National Council .

Life

Claude Béglé's father René Béglé (1920–2003) was a delegate of the board of directors of the chocolate manufacturer Interfood (merged from Suchard and Tobler , now at Mondelēz International ). His uncle Henry Béglé was the Swiss ambassador to Peru and Bolivia. Claude Béglé attended schools in the canton of Vaud and received his doctorate in economics from the University of Lausanne (dissertation 1976). He also has a degree in law and a diploma in international relations from the University of Geneva (thesis published in 1979).

Béglé's international career began in Nepal , Lebanon and Zimbabwe , where he worked for the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) and the International Committee of the Red Cross ( ICRC ). He then joined the food company Nestlé and worked for another 14 years in various countries. After a position as managing director of the tobacco producer Philip Morris in Poland, he switched to the logistics sector in 1997, where he worked for TNT as a senior manager. In 1999 he was elected CEO of GeoPost International Management & Development GmbH. At the same time he was Chairman of the Board of Directors of Dynamic Parcel Distribution , a European franchise system for road transport. Both companies are subsidiaries of the French Post Office . After joining Deutsche Post AG in October 2005, Claude Béglé took on responsibility for DHL in Germany and Central Europe. In May 2007, Béglé was appointed senior manager at Deutsche Post.

From April 2009 to January 2010, Béglé was Chairman of the Board of Directors of Swiss Post . The nine months in which he was Chairman of the Board of Directors were marked by internal power struggles. After the dismissal of the then CEO, Michel Kunz , in mid-December 2009, the board members Rudolf Hug and Wolfgang Werlé resigned. After Claude Béglé became aware of another job in India and the tax-free payment of part of his salary to Dubai , Federal Councilor Moritz Leuenberger asked him to resign. Béglé resigned on January 19, 2010. In 2018 he wrote in his book Un colis piégé. Choc de cultures à la Poste expresses his view of things. He is the owner and managing director of his consulting company SymbioSwiss .

Béglé ran unsuccessfully for the Vaudois CVP as a Council of States and as a National Council in the elections on October 23, 2011 . In 2012 he ran unsuccessfully for the government council elections. In the Swiss parliamentary elections in 2015 he was finally elected to the National Council. From 2015 to 2019 he was a member of the Foreign Affairs Commission. Despite an additional seat for the canton of Vaud, the CVP, and thus Béglé, lost its only seat in the Swiss parliamentary elections in 2019 .

Béglé was president of a number of parliamentary groups in the Federal Assembly . In January 2019, the need for more regulation of these parliamentary groups was debated and referred to as Lex Béglé by National Councilor Roland Rino Büchel . One of the triggers for this was the fact that Béglé founded seven new parliamentary groups in 2018: “Silk Road”, “Middle East”, “Indian Peninsula”, “UN / SDGs”, “Central and East Africa”, “Humanitarian Aid ICRC” and "Pacific Alliance". On September 26, 2018, the Parliamentary Services were notified of the creation of five of these seven groups. In all cases, the presidium was alone with Béglé and the secretariat with his own consulting company SymbioSwiss . Thus the groups did not correspond to the idea of ​​a non-partisan exchange. In addition, many of these groups did not meet new needs, but created duplications with existing groups. Béglé had other parliamentarians registered as members of the groups, but they knew nothing about it.

Béglé is second married to a Colombian surgeon and lives in Pully . Béglé is a dual Swiss- French citizen . He is a first lieutenant in the Swiss Army .
