Political career

Martin Bäumle was politicized by the WWF and the nuclear issue. He has been a member of the Energy and Environment Dübendorf group since 1981 and was a representative of this group on the board of the Green Party of the Canton of Zurich from 1986 to 1990 . From 1987 to 1995 and 1999 to 2004 he was a member of the Zurich Cantonal Council for the Uster district and for several years he was a member of the Finance Commission and President of the Electricity Commission. From 1998 to 2004 he was President of the Green Party of the Canton of Zurich (from 2002 Co-President). In 1990 he was elected to the local council (parliament) and in 1998 to the city ​​council (executive) of Dübendorf, where he has been the CFO since then and was re-elected in 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018 with the best results.

In the Swiss parliamentary elections in 2003 he was elected to the National Council for the Green Party of the Canton of Zurich , and in the 2007 elections he was re-elected as a member of the Green Liberal Party . He was also confirmed in office in the elections on October 23, 2011 and 2015 . He is a member of the Environment, Spatial Planning and Energy Commission (UREK), the Finance Commission (FK) and was a member of the Public Buildings Commission (KöB) until 2007.

In 2004, a dispute over the direction of the Green Party in the canton of Zurich led to a split from the more liberal wing of the party. Martin Bäumle founded the Green Liberal Party of Canton Zurich with like-minded people and became its co-president. In 2007, his election to the Zurich government council as the successor of his party colleague Verena Diener failed . From the founding of the Green Liberal Party Switzerland in July 2007 to summer 2017, he was its president.

As a member of the Dübendorf city council, Bäumle was reprimanded in writing on January 19, 2012, because in November 2011, immediately before a local referendum on the construction of a high-rise, he had sent a journalist debt enforcement information about the landowner without the knowledge and consent of the city council . On the basis of a complaint by the Dübendorfer SVP President, Municipal and Cantonal Council Orlando Wyss, the public prosecutor opened a criminal investigation against Bäumle at the beginning of October 2012 for alleged violation of official secrecy. In June 2016, Bäumle was sentenced in the first instance by the Uster District Court to a conditional fine and to pay compensation to the private plaintiff. In the second instance, Bäumle was acquitted by the Zurich Higher Court in June 2017 . The legal representative of the opposing party announced an appeal to the federal court . The Federal Court of Justice declared the acquittal to be legal in the final instance in June 2018.

In May 2017, he announced his resignation as President of the Green Liberals for the summer of 2017 because the party would be able to cope without him as President after ten years. At the delegates' meeting on August 26, 2017 - on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Green Liberals Switzerland - Jürg Grossen was elected as his successor. Bäumle remains in the party's executive board as vice-president.

Positions

Bäumle is committed to sustainable politics. In an interview he defined the term sustainability as follows: “With resources: do not use more than we generate. When it comes to finances: don't spend more than we take in. When it comes to social issues: make no more promises than we can keep and finance. These three areas form a whole and should be in balance ». He denies a connection between “ecology and left statism” and advocates “a strong but lean state that sets clear framework conditions, operates sustainably and does not exploit its environment to the detriment of future generations”.
