		Villiger sei nach seiner Kehrtwende beim Swiss-Engagement und nach seinem Rücktritt mit hoch dotierten Verwaltungsratsmandaten belohnt worden, kritisierte der SVP-Nationalrat.
		Stattdessen beruft er sich auf sein "ungutes Gefühl" "Ich hoffe, dass Villiger das klarstellt" Für Strafrechtsprofessor Stefan Trechsel ist damit der Tatbestand der üblen Nachrede erfüllt.
		"Kaspar Villiger hätte gute Chancen, wenn er Strafantrag stellen würde." Allenfalls liege gar eine falsche Anschuldigung vor, was ein Offizialdelikt wäre und von den Behörden selbst dann verfolgt werden müsste, wenn Villiger auf eine Klage verzichten würde.
