  • Guy Mettan is a Swiss journalist and politician. He is a member of the Christian Democratic People's Party of Switzerland, executive director and a founding member of the . As a journalist Mettan started with Tribune de Genève as an intern and was its director and editor-in-chief from 1992 to 1998. In 2001 he was appointed Vice-President of the Swiss-West African Chamber of Commerce. Mettan has been president of the Swiss-Russian Chamber of Commerce since its inception in 2005. In 2006 he was appointed President of the Geneva Red Cross. He also served as President of the Grand Council of Geneva and sat for the center there until 2019. Mettan was awarded the Russian medal of the Order of Friendship in February 2017 by President Vladimir Putin. While parliamentary regulations prohibit elected officials from receiving decorations from foreign governments, the Grand Council of Geneva authorised him to receive the medal on a 36-35 vote. Mettan's journalistic credibility has been questioned on several occasions. In 2017, Reporters Without Borders criticised Mettan for his pro-Russian militancy and for serving as a mouthpiece for Russian propaganda. Florian Irminger, Secretary General of the Swiss Green Party, also called Mettan an apologist for Putin's government. Following Mettan's support for the Ukraine bioweapons conspiracy theory in a Die Weltwoche essay in 2022, Swiss magazine Republik referred to the article as a "breathtaking compendium" of Russian propaganda.
