As the study visit to Switzerland comes to a close, we turn our focus to the communal level—an essential pillar of the Swiss political system.

On the fourth day of the visit, we had the privilege of visiting the Commune of Gruyère, in the Canton of Fribourg, where we were warmly welcomed by the executive branch of the municipality. The visit provided valuable insights into the role of communes as the third level of government, exemplifying the principle of subsidiarity—a defining feature of the Swiss system that ensures decisions are made as closely as possible to the people they affect.
