The Swiss Federal Intelligence Service (NDB) is under fire from cantonal police forces for inadequate support, particularly in critical operations like the Ukraine Conference in Bürgenstock.

A recent survey revealed widespread dissatisfaction, with complaints about slow response times, lack of expertise, and disrupted networks due to internal restructuring.

The NDB's overall performance rating dropped from 2.76 to 2.65 out of 4. Director Christian Dussey has announced his resignation amidst these challenges, leaving the agency in a precarious position.

While some improvements have been noted, significant issues remain, raising concerns about the NDB's ability to ensure national security.

The search for new leadership and effective reforms is now urgent.
