Education
After primary school in Freiburg and the beginning of an apprenticeship as a locksmith, he trained as a commercial employee. He continued to study by himself, so that he was able to take the commerce diploma at the College of St. Michael. In 1957, Morel began studying economics and social sciences at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland). Thanks to a scholarship, he received a certificate for European studies in Turin in 1960, where he improved his Italian. In addition, he completed internships in Germany and England. In 1963, Morel returned to Switzerland and taught at the College of St. Michael. In 1969 he became the French-speaking Swiss secretary and editor in the PTT Union. In the army he held the rank of captain.[1]
Career
National politics
He was National Councillor (the lower house of the Swiss parliament) from December 1975 to November 1983. He became chairman of the Socialist parliamentary group in 1981.[2]
Cantonal politics
In 1970, he became a municipal councillor in Belfaux, then a member of the Grand Council of Fribourg (the 110 member legislature) in 1971.[3] He left the government in 1996.[4]
In 1981, Morel was elected to the Council of State (cantonal government) of the Canton of Fribourg. He was head of the Finance Directorate and was confirmed in office in 1986 and 1991. During his 15 years of government, he made 14 revisions to the law on cantonal taxes, often involving tax cuts. Because of his rigorous economic and financial policies, he came into conflict with the left wing of his party. He succeeded in significantly reducing the high level of public debt between 1982 and 1990.[1]
After leaving the cantonal government in 1996, Morel remained active. Until the end of 1999, he was a member of the Banking Council of the Swiss National Bank.
He attended the 1985 Bilderberg.
