"Culture Minister of Switzerland"

The NZZ described a debate among the candidates at a public hearing in the Rote Fabrik as the “end of subversivity”. The Basler Zeitung, on the other hand, admits Riedo as "Minister of Culture" to Verve: "... the swirling Riedo, who sometimes speaks in turbulence".
