Chiesa, 45, was nominated in a surprise move last month after Switzerland’s biggest party tried for months to find a successor to outgoing president Albert Roesti, who announced last year he was stepping down. Chiesa vowed to stick to the party line, saying: “I don’t want to have to watch how Swiss families suffer from the burden of millions of immigrants from the European Union.”
