Biography

Freysinger studied at a German-speaking school in Sion, and later studied German literature and philosophy, and French literature, obtaining a teaching degree in 1985.

Freysinger has taught at the Lycée-Collège de la Planta since 1987.^[2]

From 1997 and 2001, he was a communal counselor at Savièse for the Christian Democratic People's Party of Switzerland.^[2] In 1999, he co-founded the Valaisan branch of the Swiss People's Party, which he headed from 1999 to 2002.^[2]

Freysinger held an MP position at the cantonal parliament of Valais from 2001 to 2003, and at the National Council of Switzerland from 2003.^[1]

His main proposals include the revocal of article 261 bis; hold naturalisation by popular vote; expulsion of foreigners convicted of crimes; and strict regulation of drugs.^[2] His political creed reads

“

Belonging to the UDC is seeking Truth. Belonging to the UDC is avoiding highways of easiness, revolt against the softened tar of dominant though (...) So that marxist chienlit has its political counterweight[3]
