Political career

Portrait as a national councilor

Politically active Gysin was a member of the Residents Council of Allschwil , where he served from 1977 to 1979. From 1980 to 1984 he was a member of the Grand Council of the Canton of Basel-Stadt . Thereafter, Gysin was a member of the government council of Basel-Stadt for two legislative periods from 1984 to 1992. In 1984, in the second ballot, he entered the government council with almost 3000 votes ahead of the next placed, unelected Hanspeter Mattmüller ( VEW ). Gysin, together with his newly elected party colleague Mathias Feldges, also ousted the previous unaffiliated government councilor Hansruedi Schmid , who stood in 1976 as a wild SP candidate against the official SP candidate Helmut Hubacher and was excluded from the party before his election. In the Basel government, Gysin took over the sanitary department (today: health department). Gysin and, to a lesser extent, Feldges were accused of violating the principle of collegiality and a new style of government by their political opponents on the bourgeoisie , because they made it public when their opinion differed from the majority of the government council. Nevertheless, Gysin was confirmed in the first ballot in 1988 with the fifth best result, while Feldges even achieved second place. Even after that, he caused a sensation and criticism from government colleagues and bourgeois parties, for example when he and Feldges published a joint proposal for a compromise on the future of the old urban gardening industry, which was rejected by the entire government council. In 1987/88, Gysin was Vice President of the government. In May 1988 he was elected regional president for the 1988/89 year in office .

In the 1992 government council elections, as in 1988, the SP ran with a third candidate. Veronica Schaller was subsequently elected as the first woman in the Basel government in the second ballot, while Gysin missed re-election. Gysin had supported Schaller's candidacy and, in retrospect, does not blame the third SP candidacy for his lack of re-election. In 1995 he ran for the National Council and was elected to the National Council as the third-placed candidate on the SP list when the SP won from two to four seats. He was re-elected in the 1999 and 2003 federal elections . In the 2007 elections, he no longer ran. During his time in the National Council, he was a member of the Foreign Policy Commission from 1995 to 2007 and a member of the Commission for Economics and Taxes from 1997 to 2007. As a national councilor, he campaigned for Switzerland to join the UN .

further activities

Gysin has been a member of the board of the Organization of the Swiss Abroad (OSA) since 2001 , which he has chaired since 2015. He is also Co-President of the Gray Panthers Northwestern Switzerland. Even after retiring from active politics, he repeatedly expressed himself on political issues. For example, he took a position against the planned merger of the University Hospital Basel with the Cantonal Hospital Baselland , which was rejected by the voters of the Canton of Basel-Stadt in February 2019.
