Summary | There have been two sexting scandals in politics in Switzerland recently. City mayor of Baden, Geri Müller, is being substituted by his deputy mayor after the scandal. An employee of the Swiss Federal Palace has been caught publicizing nude images taken inside the offices to a large audience online.

Summary | Switzerland saw two nude selfie scandals in and around politics this summer. A secretary working in the parlamentarian offices had been tweeting nude selfies taken on the premises. Parlamentarian and city mayor of Baden in Switzerland, Geri Müller, had been sexting with an online friend via WhatsApp, including an abundance of written messages and nude selfies. The Swiss public had been debating whether Müller's #selfiegate should have been newsworthy at all. What ultimately emerges is a double standard: the secretary lost her job within days and the mayor is still representing the Swiss people in parliament.
