Re: Company in the news

[Christian Folini]

Hello again,

The newspaper article got some attention and has been discussed
online at http://www.forumromanum.de/member/forum/forum.php?action=ubb_show&entryid=1101833854&mainid=1101833854&threadid=1171201457&USER=user_338862&threadid=1171201457

Today, the well known Swiss Blog of the "Stadtwanderer", aka 
political scientist Claude Longchamp, covers the article 
and brings an interview with me. I do not have the time to
translate it here, but maybe somebody can cite a few
infos. Btw. the blog is open for comments. Would be cool
to see feedback from you German speakers.
