| After the war, the Swiss government exported credits through the charitable fund known as the Schweizerspende and also donated to the Marshall Plan to help Europe's recovery, efforts that ultimately benefit the Swiss economy.[36] Women were granted the right to vote in the first Swiss cantons in 1959, at the federal level in 1971[26][37] and, after resistance, in the last canton Appenzell Innerrhoden in 1990. After suffrage at the federal level, women quickly rose in political significance, with the first woman on the seven member Federal Council executive being Elisabeth Kopp, who served from 1984–1989,[26] and the first female president being Ruth Dreifuss in 1999. In 2003, by electing Christoph Blocher, the Parliament granted the Swiss People's Party a second seat in the governing cabinet, altering the coalition which had brought stability to Swiss politics since 1959. The election of Blocher was undone by the Federal Assembly (parliament) in 2007 when the politician was replaced by a female representative from his own party. how to get rid of acnevarmepumpe | |
