I don’t think that a swiss ministry is significant at all in this question. While the headline says “Switzerland” as the whole country, it’s just the opinion of a single person in the government.
It’s completely impossible that he got bribed to say that, or that he has other personal interests, right? It never happened in the history
Thirty bees is a fork based on an ancient version of prestashop (1.6, released TEN years ago). While it’s much better than what prestashop was at the time of the fork, IMHO it’s better to go with prestashop 1.9 (now called 9) if you need any extra plug-in, as third party developers abandoned support for 1.6 a long time ago.
