Est-ce que quelqu'un.e qui aurait une meilleure compréhension que moi des arcanes de la politique Vaudoise pourrait prendre quelques minutes pour, très sérieusement, nous éclairer sur l'incompréhensible décision de ce qui est probablement et malgré la concurrence la plus incompétente et la plus controversée des conseillères d'état Vaudoises de ces dernières années de se représenter ?

Sans dec', j'y comprends absolument rien, et outre "har har har ladroite", j'aimerais sincèrement capter la logique des gens qui soutienneNT cette dame.

Russia remains the most serious and acute threat to security, stability, and peace in Europe. As evidenced by cyberattacks, acts of sabotage, airspace violations, and influence operations—as well as, presumably, the mysterious incidents involving drones—Russia has significantly escalated its hybrid conflict in Europe. Switzerland is directly affected by this hybrid conflict. (...)

Russia seeks to weaken Western democracies and transatlantic unity. Its hybrid conflict also affects Switzerland and poses a threat to the country.

Russia is directly targeting Switzerland through disinformation and propaganda. In 2025, the number of reports about our country broadcast by the German-language branch of the Russian state-run media outlet RT increased by a quarter compared to 2024.

Cyberattacks against targets abroad are also carried out via Swiss infrastructure.

Russia is also likely using Switzerland for logistical purposes as well as to prepare acts of sabotage and destabilization elsewhere in Europe.

Through espionage, Russia is attempting to obtain confidential information held by Swiss authorities.

Russia uses our country to covertly acquire sanctioned goods and technologies in order to increase its capacity to produce military equipment and ammunition.

So, it looks like while we were all sleeping, Intrum, everyone's favourite debt collector (yes, yes, the ones whose fees you should totally pay because they'd never, ever make you believe you have no other choice), branched into providing identity services.

They've branded their solution IDNow.

Neon Bank ? Intrum. Cembra's credit cards ? Intrum. Swisslife ? Intrum. The list goes on and on: 250 companies rely on their services.

Now, you'll likely ask "why give a fuck, they're a private company providing services to other private companies, they're successful at it, good for them". And that's a fair question and remark.

Intrum, sorry, IDNow, is also the identity verification provider for the Swiss Government's AGOV service.

Now, not only on one hand do we have a company that has been graced with multiple parliamentary inquiries (here and here, for example), but one that simultaneously also provides a critical service to the government that is investigating and trying to regulate its behaviour, all while, even though they claim that no data leaves Switzerland, being legally incorporated in a foreign country.

Yeah.
