Anti-immigrant party recaptures second Swiss cabinet seat


    ZURICH (Reuters) - Switzerland's main anti-immigration party reclaimed a second seat in government on Wednesday, bolstering isolationist forces in the country as it seeks to reset treaties with Europe to include immigration limits.

    Guy Parmelin, 56, a Swiss People's Party (SVP) member and wine grape grower from near Lausanne in French-speaking Switzerland, was elected to the Swiss Federal Council by the 246-member parliament in Berne.
