Kaspar Villiger (pronounced Caspar Feeleeger) (born 5 February 1941) is a Swiss businessman, politician and former member of the Swiss Federal Council (1989–2003).

Political career

On 1 February 1989 he was elected to the Swiss Federal Council. He is affiliated to the Free Democratic Party (Liberals).

During his time in office he headed the following departments:

  • Federal Department of Finance (1996 – 2003)

He was President of the Confederation twice, in 1995 and again in 2002.

In 1995 Kaspar Villiger apologized on occasion of an official visit by Dan Culler who was an internee in the Wauwilermoos internment camp during World War II. Dwight Mears, a U.S. Army officer, covered the apology in his 2012 PhD thesis on the American internees in Switzerland.[1][2][3][4]

In September 2003, he announced he was to resign on 31 December 2003.
