Welfare state & family
Raise the retirement age to 67
Do you support an increase in the retirement age (e.g., to 67)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The federal government should not pay premium reductions; this is the task of the cantons.
Der Bund sollte keine Prämienverbilligungen zahlen, dies ist aufgabe der Kantone.
Pensions for married couples
For married couples, the pension is currently limited to 150% of the maximum individual AHV pension (capping). Should this limit be eliminated?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The ceiling should be abolished, provided that in return the benefits for married couples are abolished.
Die Plafonierung ist abzuschaffen, sofern im Gegenzug die Vorteile für Ehepaare abgeschafft werden.
Reduce LPP pensions
As part of the reform of the BVG (occupational pension plan), pensions are to be reduced (lowering the minimum conversion rate from 6.8% to 6%). Are you in favor of this measure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The 2nd pillar is used to save for retirement independently. However, redistribution is also taking place there today. This can only be achieved through lower minimum conversion rates.
Die 2. Säule dient dem selbständigen ansparen einer Altersvorsorge. Jedoch findet heute auch dort eine Umverteilung statt. Diese kann nur durch niederigere Mindestumwandlungssätze erreicht werden.
Extend parental leave
Should paid parental leave be increased beyond today's 14 weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of paternity leave? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
For a good parent-child relationship, it is crucial that the parents take sufficient care of the children over the years. Extending parental leave only entails high costs and little benefit.
Für eine gute Eltern-Kind beziehung ist ausschlaggebend, dass sich die Eltern über Jahre ausreichend um die Kinder kümmer. Ein Ausbau der Elternzeit birgt nur hohe Kosten und wenig Nutzen.
Further encourage the construction of social housing
Should the federal government provide more financial support for public housing construction? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Health
Introduce compulsory vaccination for children
Should compulsory vaccination of children be introduced based on the Swiss vaccination plan?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Introduce a tax on sugary foods
Are you in favor of the introduction of a tax on foods containing sugar (sugar tax)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Everyone should be able to control their own consumption and not be patronized by the state. Even with a balanced diet, the conscious consumption of sweets would become unnecessarily expensive.
Jeder sollte eigenverantwortlich seinen Konsum steuern können und nicht vom Staat bevormundet werden. Selbst bei einer ausgewogenen Ernährung würde der bewussteKonsum von Süssigkeiten unnötigerweise verteuert.
Contribution to healthcare costs
Should insured persons contribute more to health care costs (e.g., increase the minimum deductible)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A higher minimum deductible may be more appropriate in many life situations. Everyone should be free to choose a model that suits him/her.
Eine höhere Mindestfranchise kann in vielen Lebenssituationen zweckmässiger sein. Es sollte jedem freigestellt sein ein für Ihn/Sie passendes Modell zu wählen.
Limit the powers of the Federal Council in the event of a pandemic
Should the Federal Council's ability to restrict private and economic life in the event of a pandemic be more limited?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Overall supervision is the responsibility of the Federal Assembly, not the Federal Council. Therefore, the Federal Assembly, as the elected representation of the population, should make all important decisions.
Die Oberaufsicht obliegt der Bundesversammlung, nicht dem Bundesrat. Deshalb sollte die Bundesversammlung als gewählte Repräsentation der Bevölkerung alle wichtigen Entscheidungen treffen.
Federal competence for national hospital planning
Should the federal government be given the authority to determine the hospital offering (national hospital planning with regard to locations and range of services)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Hospital planning is a matter for the cantons. It is therefore important that the cantons cooperate according to their respective needs.
Die Spitalplanung ist Sache der Kantone. Es ist deshalb wichtig, dass die Kantone nach den jeweiligen Bedürfnissen zusammenarbeiten.
Education
Inclusive schooling
According to the Swiss integrated schooling concept, children with learning difficulties or disabilities should be taught in regular classes. Do you approve of this concept?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Integration at any price is neither in the interest of the students concerned nor of the classes. This has been shown, for example, by the experience of the canton of Basel-Stadt. Therefore, adapted classes and educational offers are needed for particularly affected pupils.
Eine integration um jeden Preis ist weder im Interesse der betroffenen Schülerinnen und Schüler als der Klassen. Dies haben z.B. die Erfahrungen des Kanton Basel-Stadt gezeigt. Deshalb braucht es für besonders betroffene Schülerinnen und Schüler angepasst Klassen und Bildungsangebote.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The high school graduation rate has risen sharply in recent decades. This weakens the dual education system. For many, this is a better alternative.
Die Maturiätsrate ist in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten stark gestiegen. Deis schwächt das duale Bildungssystem. Dieses ist für Viele eine bessere Alternative.
Equal opportunities in education
Should the state be more committed to equal educational opportunities (e.g., through subsidized remedial courses for students from low-income families)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Professional success is significantly influenced by education. Therefore, targeted support is needed to enable motivated young people to receive a good education.
Beruflicher Erfolg wird massgeblich durch die Bildung beeinflusst. Es bedarf deshalb zielgerichteter Förderung um motivierte Junge eine gute Bildung zu ermöglichen.
Immigration & integration
Make naturalization requirements more flexible
Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In my view, the federal requirements for naturalization are appropriate. However, the bureaucracy should be reduced at the communal level and thus the costs should be lowered. This is a matter for the municipalities and cantons
Die Anfroderungen des Bundes an eine Einbürgerung sind aus meiner Sicht zweckmässig. Jedoch sollte die Bürokratie auf komunaler Ebene reduziert werden und somit die Kosten gesenkt werden. Dies ist sache der Gemeinden und Kantone
Increase the quota of third-country nationals for skilled workers
Should more qualified workers from non-EU/EFTA countries be allowed to work in Switzerland (increase third-country quota)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Since the quotas for highly qualified workers have not been exhausted in recent years, an increase seems unnecessary to me.
Da die Kontingente für hochqualifizierte Arbeitskräfte in den letzten Jahren nicht ausgeschöpft wurden, scheint mir eine erhöhung unnötig.
Asylum procedures outside Europe
Do you support efforts to house asylum seekers in centers outside Europe during the asylum procedure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The goal must be to carry out quick and simple asylum procedures. In principle, these should take place in Switzerland. Plans such as those of the EU for simplified procedures at the Schengen external border are to be welcomed.
Ziel muss es sein, schnelle und einfache Asylverfahren durchzuführen. Grundsätzlich sollten diese in der Schweiz stattfinden. Pläne wie jene der EU, für vereinfachte Verfahren an der Schengen-Aussengrenze durchführen will sind zu begrüssen.
Voting rights for foreigners
Should foreign nationals who have lived in Switzerland for at least ten years be granted the right to vote and stand for election at the municipal level?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
With the right to vote and to elect are also duties linked (eg military and civil defense). Those who want to participate in politics should also fulfill these duties.
Mit dem Recht abzustimmen und zu wählen sind auch Pflichten verknüpft (z.B. Militär und Zivilschutz). Wer an der Politik teilhaben will sollte auch diese Wahrnehmen.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The billions of dollars in drug money that organized crime rakes in through the cannabis trade endanger our security far more than the drug, which is no more harmful than alcohol. Moreover, legalization protects users from stretched drugs.
Der Milliarden and Drogengelder, welche die organisierte Kriminalität durch den Cannabishandel einnimmt gefährden unsere Sicherheit bei weitem mehr, als die Droge, welche nicht schädlicher als Alkohol ist. Ausserdem schützt eine Legalisierung die Konsumenten vor gestreckten Drogen.
Authorize active euthanasia
Would you be in favour of doctors being allowed to administer direct active euthanasia in Switzerland?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Gender should not play a role for the state. Each person should be able to live privately in a self-determined way.
Das Geschlecht sollte für den Staat keine Rolle spielen. Jede Person sollte privat selbstbestimmt leben können.
Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples
Do you think it's right for same-sex couples to have the same rights as heterosexual couples in all areas?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Finances & taxes
Reduce taxes at the federal level
Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Especially in times of high inflation, cold progression must be countered. High taxes hinder social mobility and encourage lax use of taxpayers' money.
Gerade in Zeiten hoher Inflation muss der kalten Progression entgegengetreten werden. Hohe Steuern behindern die soziale Mobilität und fördern einen laxen Umgang mit Steuergeldern.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Individual taxation promotes the gainful employment of both spouses and is therefore to be welcomed. The Jungfreisinn supports the concern of the FDP women to introduce individual taxation.
Die Individalbesteuerung fördert die Erwerbstätigkeit beider Ehepartner und ist somit zu begrüssen. Der Jungfreisinn unterstützt das Anliegen der FDP-Frauen die Individualbesteuerung einzuführen.
Introduce a national inheritance tax
Would you support the introduction of a national inheritance tax on all inheritances over one million Swiss francs? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Wealth has already been heavily taxed under the income tax. New taxes are unnecessary.
Das Vermögen wurde bereits im Rahmen der Einkommenssteuer stark besteuert. Neue Steuern sind unnötig.
Strengthen financial equalization between the cantons
Should the differences between cantons with high and low financial capacity be further reduced through fiscal equalization?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Billions are already being redistributed between cantons without significant success.
Bereits heute werden Milliarden ohne nennenswerten Erfolg zwischen Kantonen umverteilt.
Economy & labour
Introduce a national minimum wage of CHF 4,000
Are you in favor of introducing a minimum wage of CHF 4,000 for all full-time employees?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Although Switzerland does not have a minimum wage today, wages are much higher than abroad with a minimum wage. The only thing a minimum wage would achieve is the outsourcing of jobs in the low-wage sector, which gives no one an advantage.
Obwohl die Schweiz heute keinen Mindestlohn kennt, sind die Löhne viel höher als im Ausland mit Mindestlohn. Das Einzige was ein Mindestlohn erreichen würde ist die Auslagerung von Stellen im Niedriglohnsektor, was niemandem einen Vorteil verschafft.
Regulate the financial sector more strictly
Do you support stricter regulations for the financial sector (e.g., stricter capital requirements for banks, ban on bonuses)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
All regulations must be reviewed for their effectiveness. The Credit Suisse case raises the question of why the existing rules have failed. At the moment, however, there is still too much uncertainty to demand concrete measures.
Alle Regulierungen sind auf ihre Wirksamkeit zu überprüfen. Der Fall der Credit-Suisse wirft die Frage auf, warum die bestehnenden Regeln versagt haben. Momentan bestehen aber noch zu grosse Unklarheiten um konkrete Massnahmen fordern zu können.
Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità
Should private households be free to choose their electricity supplier (complete liberalization of the electricity market)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Especially in times of rising energy prices, a free market is needed to ensure cheap electricity.
Gerade in Zeiten der steigenden Energiepreise braucht es einen freien Markt, welche für billigen Strom sorgt.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
If every last patch of nature is not to be concreted over, Switzerland must increase housing density. This can only be achieved with higher utilization rates.
Soll nicht jeder letzte Flecken Natur zubetoniert werden muss die Schweiz die Wohnungsdichte erhöhen. Dies gelingt nur mit höheren Ausnutzungsziffern.
Wage equality between women and men
Are you in favor of stricter controls on equal pay for women and men?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Increased controls only lead to more bureaucracy.
Verstärkte Kontrollen führen nur zu mehr Bürokratie.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We need an efficient infrastructure. A growing country like Switzerland therefore needs a targeted expansion of its infrastructure. More congestion does little for the climate.
Wir brauchen eine Leistungsfähige Infrastruktur. Ein wachsendes Land wie die Schweiz braucht deshalb einen gezielten Ausbau der Infrastruktur. Mehr Stau bringt dem Klima nur wenig.
Ban new registrations of combustion engine vehicles from 2035
Should Switzerland ban the registration of new passenger cars with internal combustion engines starting in 2035?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Our mobility must move away from oil. However, banning internal combustion engines will not help here. Because these can also burn sustainable fuels such as e-fuels or hydrogen. Battery-powered vehicles or fuel cells still have too many disadvantages in many areas. Therefore, the ban of internal combustion engines is not appropriate.
Unsere Mobilität muss weg vom Öl. Ein Verbot von Verbrennungsmotoren bringt hier jedoch nicht. Denn diese können auch nachhaltige Treibstoffe wie E-Fuels oder Wasserstoff verbrennen. Batteriebetriebene Fahrzeuge oder Brennstoffzellen haben in vielen Bereichen noch zu grosse Nachteile. Deshlab ist das Verbot von verbrennern nicht zweckmässig.
Achieve climate targets through incentives
To achieve climate targets, should incentives and target agreements be relied on exclusively, rather than bans and restrictions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Certain regulations are unavoidable. However, the goal must still be that personal freedom is preserved and that the climate goals are mastered through innovation.
Gewisse Regularien sind unumgänglich. Jedoch muss das Ziel nach wie vor sein, dass die persönliche Freiheit erhalten bleibt und dass die Klimaziele mittels Innovation gemeistert wird.
Make the rules for renewable energy less strict
Do you think it's fair that environmental and landscape protection rules are being relaxed to allow for the development of renewable energy?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
If the energy supply is to be secured, landscape protection must be relaxed. Climate change is clearly the bigger problem. With the exception of a few areas in need of special protection, it should be possible to develop renewable energies everywhere. Therefore, fast and simple approval procedures must be created.
Soll die Energieversorgung sichergestellt werden, so muss der Landschaftsschutz gelockert werden. Der Klimawandel ist eindeutig das grössere Problem. Bis auf wenige besonders schützenswerte Gebiete sollte es überall möglich sein die erneuerbaren Energien auszubauen. Es müssen deshalb schnelle und einfache Bewilligungsverfahren geschaffen werden.
Authorize the construction of new nuclear power plants
Should the construction of new nuclear power plants in Switzerland be allowed again?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Due to the nuclear phase-out, Switzerland is dependent on electricity from coal and gas-fired power plants. This is incompatible with environmental protection. The energy turnaround cannot be achieved without the temporary use of nuclear energy. Our current nuclear power plants should therefore be replaced. This promotes both efficiency and safety. In the long term, however, the nuclear phase-out must remain a goal.
Durch den Atomausstieg ist die Schweiz auf Strom aus Kohle- und Gaskraftwerken angewisen. Dies ist mit dem Umweltschutz unvereinbar. Die Eneriewende ist ohne die temporäre Nutzung der Kernenergie nicht zu schaffen. Unsere heutigen AKW sollten deshalb ersetzt werden. Dies fördert sowohl die Effizienz als auch die Sicherheit. Langfristig muss aber der Atomausstieg ein Ziel blieben.
Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is important to ensure that the necessary care is provided everywhere. But this must also be checked everywhere for its appropriateness. A post office machine in the Volg helps this to win more customers and is thus better for the whole municipality than a complete post office branch.
Es ist wichtig, dass überall die notwendige Versorgung sichergestellt werden. Doch muss diese auch überall auf ihre Zweckmässigkeit überprüft werden. Ein Postautomat im Volg hilft diesem zu mehr Kunden zu gewinnen und ist somit für die ganze Gemeinde besser als eine vollständige Postfiliale.
Introduce progressive electricity tariffs
Would you be in favor of the introduction of increasing electricity tariffs when consumption is higher (progressive electricity tariffs)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This would lead to an exodus of the manufacturing industry, resulting in longer, more environmentally damaging delivery routes, as well as costing jobs.
Dies würde zu einer Abwanderung der produzierenden Industrie führen und somit zu längeren, umweltschädlicheren Lieferwegen führen, als auch Arbeitsplätze kosten.
Nature conservation
Making provisions for the protection of large predators more flexible
Are you in favor of further relaxing the protection regulations for large predators (lynx, wolf, bear)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This would lead to increased farm deaths.
Dies würde zu einem vermehrten Hofsterben führen.
Introduction of stricter rules on the protection of farm animals
Are you in favour of stricter animal welfare regulations for livestock (e.g. permanent access to outdoor areas)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland already has very good animal welfare standards. These only need to be adapted in certain areas.
Die Schweiz hat bereits heute sehr gute Tierschutzstandarts. Diese müssen nur punktuell angepasst werden.
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is more important which areas are protected than how much.
Es ist wichtiger welche Flächen unter Schutz gestellt werden, als wie viel.
Ban on single-use plastics
Would you support a ban on single-use plastic and non-recyclable plastics? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The primary approach should be to work with incentives. However, individual bans make sense for plastic classes that are particularly affected.
Primär sollte mit Anreizen gearbeitet werden. Für besonders betroffene Kunststoffklassen machen einzelne Verbote jedoch sinn.
More sustainable use of electronic devices
Are you in favour of government measures to make the use of electronic devices more sustainable (e.g., right to repair, extension of warranty period, minimum guaranteed period for software updates)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Targeted measures are needed, but they must not hinder innovation. In particular, practices in which manufacturers make it impossible to repair devices via software require measures.
Es bedarf gezielter Massnahmen, welche aber nicht die Innovation behindern dürfen. Insbesondere Praktiken, bei welchen Hersteller per Software die Reparatur von Geräten verunmöglichen bedürfen Massnhamen.
Democracy, Media & Digitization
Mobile phone network (5G)
Should the Swiss mobile network be equipped throughout the country with the latest technology (currently 5G standard)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
There is no scientific evidence of the harmfulness of 5G, especially the technologies used in Switzerland.
Es gibt keine wissenschaftlichen Beweise für die Schädlichkeit von 5G, insbesondere der in der Schweiz verwendeten Technologien.
Digitizing public services
Should the federal government be given additional powers in the area of digitization of government services in order to be able to impose binding directives and standards on the cantons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Certain national standards are necessary, but the autonomy of the cantons should not be restricted without necessity.
Gewisse nationale Standarts sind notwendig, jedoch sollte die autonomie der Kantone nicht ohne Not eingeschränkt werden.
Strengthening regulation of big internet platforms
Are you in favor of stronger regulation of the major Internet platforms (i.e., transparency rules on algorithms, increased liability for content, combating disinformation)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Lowering TV and radio license fees
A popular initiative aims to reduce television and radio fees (CHF 200 per household, exemption for businesses). Do you support this initiative?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is important that the tax burden of individuals and companies is reduced. Even with 200 Fr. a high quality offer can be ensured.
Es ist wichtig, dass die Steuerlast von Personen und Unternehmen gesenkt wird. Auch mit 200 Fr. kann eine qualitativ hochwertiges Angebot sichergestellt werden.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
From my own experience I know that a great development takes place between the ages of 16 and 18. The ability to make one's own decisions and not be influenced by parents and teachers is still developing. In addition, it makes no sense to me that no mobile subscription can be concluded without the signature of the parents, but can be cancelled.
Aus eigener Erfahung weiss ich, dass im Alter zwischen 16 und 18 eine grosse Entwicklung stattfindet. Die Fähigkeit eigene Entscheidungen zu treffen und nicht durch Eltern und Lehrpersonen beeinflusst zu werden bildet sich erst aus. Ausserdem macht es für mich keinen Sinn, dass kein Mobilabonnement ohne Unterschrift der Eltern abgeschlossen werden kann, aber Abgestummen werden darf.
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending
Should it be possible to hold a referendum on federal spending above a certain amount (optional financial referendum)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
With the debt brake, Switzerland already has a good means of controlling government spending. A financial referendum contributes to the democratic legitimization of particularly high investments.
Mit der Schuldenbremse hatdie Schweiz bereits ein gutes Mittel die Staatsausgaben zu kontrollieren. Ein Finanzreferendum trägt dazu bei zusätzlich besonders hohe Investitionen demokratisch zu legitimieren.
Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers
Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The Swiss Army has been reduced too much in the past decades. It can no longer fulfill its mission. It can only fulfill its mission if sufficient material and personnel are available. In parallel to the increase in personnel, sufficient material must be procured, because not all army battalions are equipped today.
Die Schweizer Armee wurde in den Vergangenen Jahrzehnten zu stark verkleinert. Sie kann ihren Auftrag nicht mehr erfüllen. Diesen kann sie nur wahrnehmen, wenn ausreichend Material und Mannschaft zur Verfügung stehen. Paralell zu personellen Aufrüstung muss genügend Material beschafft werden, denn heute sind nicht alle Armee-Batallione ausgerüstet.
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The Swiss Armed Forces must be able to cooperate with their neighbors in the event of a crisis. Therefore, standards must be adopted and cooperation must be practiced. Cooperation is not only important in war, as the Corona virus has shown us.
Die Schweizer Armee muss fähig sein im Krisenfall mit ihren Nachbarn zusammenzuarbeiten. Deshalb müssen Standarts übernommen und Zusammenarbeit geübt werden. Die Zusammenarbeit ist nicht nur im Krieg wichtig, wie uns das Corona-Virus gezeigt hat.
Re-export of Swiss weapons
Should the Federal Council be allowed to authorize other states to re-export Swiss weapons in cases of a war of aggression in violation of international law (e.g., the attack on Ukraine)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland should not prohibit the re-export of war material by democratic countries that have similar standards to ours. In this way, subsequent problems, as we have today in the case of Ukraine, would no longer arise.
Die Schweiz sollte die Widerausfuhr von Kriegsmaterial durch demokratische Staaten, welche ähnliche Standarts haben wie wir nicht verbieten. Somit würden sich nachträgliche Probleme, wie wir sie heute im Fall Ukraine haben, nicht mehr stellen.
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The use of facial recognition must be possible on a selective basis, e.g. at the airport. In general, this should be rejected.
Punktuell muss der Einsatz von Gesichtserkennung möglich sein, so z.B. am Flughafen. Generell ist diese abzulehnen.
Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls
Should Switzerland terminate the Schengen agreement with the EU and reintroduce more security checks directly on the border? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The bilateral path must be continued. Free movement of persons and economic integration have served Switzerland well. Political integration, however, must be rejected.
Der Bilaterale Weg muss weitergeführt werden. Personenfreizügigkeit und wirtschaftliche Integration haben der Schweiz gut gedient. Eine politische Integration ist aber abzulehnen.
Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Today, Switzerland is economically heavily dependent on the EU. More trade with the USA will help us to diversify.
Heute ist die Schweiz wirtschaftlich stark von der EU abhängig. Mehr handel mit den USA helfen uns zu diversifizieren.
Comply with social and environmental standards
Should Swiss companies be obliged to ensure that their subsidiaries and suppliers operating abroad comply with social and environmental standards?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A complete control of supply chains leads to a large bureaucratic burden for SMEs and makes foreign trade unattractive.
Eien vollständige kontrolle von Lieferketten führt zu einer grossen Bürokratischen Belastung für KMU und macht den Aussenhandel unattraktiv.
Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU
Should Switzerland terminate the Bilateral Agreements with the EU and seek a free trade agreement without the free movement of persons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The bilateral path must be continued.
Der Bilaterale Weg muss weitergeführt werden.
Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality
Should Switzerland return to a strict interpretation of neutrality (renounce economic sanctions to a large extent)? [BePart question]

The army and civil defense have been criminally neglected in recent years. The army urgently needs new material. Major events can hardly be managed anymore. The war in Ukraine has shown us that even in the 21st century man is capable of cruel acts. We must therefore invest in our security.
Die Armee und der Zivilschutz wurden in den letzten Jahren sträflich vernachlässigt. Die Armee benötigt dringend neues Material. Grossereignisse können kaum mehr bewältigt werden. Der Krieg in der Ukraine hat uns gezeigt, dass auch im 21. Jh. der Mensch zu grausamen Akten fähig ist. Wir müssen deshalb in unsere Sicherheit investieren.

Due to increasing life expectancy, our old-age provision has become unbalanced. If young people want a stable pension system in the future, an increase in the retirement age is unavoidable.
Durch die steigende Lebenserwartung ist unsere Altersvorsorge in Schieflage geraten. Wollen Junge auch in Zukunft eine stabile Altersvorsorge ist eine Erhöhung des Rentenalters unumgänglich.
