Honorary Presidents
Fabio Pedrina
The former National Councillor from Airolo (Ticino) presided over the “For the Protection of the Alpine Area from Transit Traffic” association for 14 years and launched the political debate on the Alpine Crossing Exchange in 2001. He had been a Member of the Board since 1995 and took part in the founding meeting of the Alpine Initiative back in 1989. His commitment contributed significantly to the strength of the association. His term included, for example, the referendum on the Avanti counter-proposal in 2004 – which we won – that demanded, among other things, a second road bore at the Gotthard. Fabio Pedrina was named Honorary President at the 2014 AGM.
Andreas Weissen
(in german) Nach elf Jahren als Präsident und neun Jahren als Vizepräsident ist Andreas Weissen 2009 aus Vorstand und Ausschuss der Alpen-Initiative zurückgetreten. Er war einer der Initianten, die 1987 in Brig die ersten Ideen zur Alpen-Initiative ausheckten. Er hat nicht nur den Initiativtext wesentlich mitgestaltet, sondern auch die Unterschriftensammlung organisiert.
Andreas Weissen hat die erfolgreichen Abstimmungskampagnen von 1994 (Alpen-Initiative), 1998 (LSVA und FinöV) und 2004 (Avanti-Nein) wesentlich geprägt. Danke Andreas!
