The

Swiss

ambassador to

Argentina, Heinrich Schellenber, published this Friday a new video loaded with irony after the controversial phrase of the Minister of National Security, Sabina Frederic, who said that that country was calmer but at the same time "more boring "than the Buenos Aires suburbs.

"It's Friday and the @BaselStadt police know it,"

the official wrote to accompany the video in which a Basel police officer got out of the car and danced cheerfully.

Without referring to Frederic, the video is a new message loaded with irony after the minister pointed out that Switzerland is "more boring" than the Buenos Aires suburbs.

The phrase of the controversy was launched by Frederic this Sunday when he was asked in dialogue with radio

Miter

 if he had to emigrate from the country to stop feeling fear or suffering acts of insecurity.

"Switzerland is calmer, but more boring," he answered about it.

In the first video, Schellenber shared a commercial starring Roger Federer and Robert De Niro and ironically refers to the former tennis No. 1 as a "boring man."

"The 'boring' of Federer," the diplomat wrote on his Twitter account and accompanied the post.

In a video of 1 minute and 30 seconds, Federer has a video call with the actor in which they talk about qualities of the central European country. 


In a

comedy move to promote tourism in Switzerland

, De Niro calls Federer to inform him that he will not make a movie about that country because it is "too perfect."

"Regarding the film about Switzerland that you want me to do, I don't like it. Look where you are, Roger: they have mountains, ski resorts, charming villages, green valleys, they have no drama. There is no drama at all," he asks. actor.

To which the consecrated tennis player replied: "Really, but have you seen the sunset?".

So the actor continues with his argument: "Roger,

because of the way I act I need conflict, danger ... Switzerland is simply too perfect.

The Swiss are too kind."

Resigned to the American artist's refusal, Federer proposes "a special mission" to the actor: "Let's go down the slopes, we can even go paragliding. Then we land in some fields with cows grazing ...".

But this new proposal does not finish seducing De Niro, who closes the call with a fine irony: "Roger, I must be frank with you, it will not happen. Sorry Roger, better call Hanks." 

The video promoting tourism in the European country ends with a slogan that is in direct harmony with Frederic's statements: "When you need a vacation without drama, you need Switzerland."

Frederic tried to explain his sentence on Thursday and said that he made "mention that in Switzerland there is no insecurity, but

there is

also

nothing to do because everything works well

, everything is oiled, synchronized and therefore it is not a place where you think there is than to leave to be better ".


For the official, "boredom has to do with political action and not with insecurity", and remarked that, for her, in a place like Switzerland, "there are no challenges, there is nothing to do."
