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
In the sense of subsidiarity, premium reductions are a task of the cantons.
Im Sinne der Subsidiarität sind Prämienverbilligungen eine 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 current state of the AHV makes a strong expansion of benefits impossible. If the situation improves, the ceiling should be lifted in return for the abolition of previous marital bonuses (e.g. contribution privileges).
Der aktuelle Zustand der AHV verunmöglicht einen starken Leistungsausbau. Bei einer Verbesserung der Lage soll die Plafonierung aufgehoben werden, wenn im Gegenzug bisherige Ehe-Boni (z. B. Beitragsprivilegien) 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
Sustainable financing is needed for secure pensions in the long term. A reduction is necessary to stop the current, unplanned redistribution in the 2nd pillar. In the 2nd pillar, every person saves for himself.
Für langfristig sichere Renten braucht es eine nachhaltige Finanzierung. Eine Senkung ist notwendig, um die gegenwärtige, nicht vorgesehene Umverteilung in der 2. Säule zu stoppen. In der 2. Säule spart jede Person für sich selber.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

The current system of separate leaves is to be reformed and transformed into joint parental leave.
Das heutige System mit getrennten Urlauben soll reformiert werden und in eine gemeinsame Elternzeit umgewandelt werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Non-profit housing is the responsibility of the municipalities.
Der gemeinnützige Wohnungsbau ist die Aufgabe der Gemeinden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In principle, vaccination is a good thing. Vaccination should always be a personal decision (self-determination).
Grundsätzlich ist Impfen eine gute Sache. Eine Impfung sollte immer ein persönlicher Entscheid sein (Selbstbestimmung).
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
Nutrition is an individual choice. We did not break a paternalistic state.
Die Ernährung ist eine individuelle Entscheidung. Wir brachen keinen paternalistischen Staat.
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
Freedom of choice in health insurance premiums should continue to exist. Those who want to should be able to contribute more to the costs. In return, more favorable health insurance premiums can be offered.
Die Wahlfreiheit bei der Krankenkassenprämie soll weiterhin bestehen. Wer will, soll sich stärker an den Kosten beteiligen können. Dafür können günstigere Krankenkassenprämien angeboten werden.
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
First and foremost, the role of parliament is to be strengthened. In extraordinary emergencies, the Federal Council always has the option of applying emergency law.
In erster Linie soll die Rolle des Parlaments gestärkt werden. In ausserordentlichen Notlagen hat der Bundesrat immer die Möglichkeit Notrecht anzuwenden.
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
The cantons have a responsibility to cooperate better across their cantonal borders. However, the competencies should remain at the cantonal level.
Die Kantone sind in der Verantwortung, über ihre Kantonsgrenzen besser zusammenzuarbeiten. Die Kompetenzen sollen aber auf kantonaler Ebene bleiben.
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
The concept encounters its limits in practice. Teachers are overworked and often not sufficiently trained to address the special needs of students. This needs to be revised, not written off.
Das Konzept stösst in der Praxis seine Grenzen. Die Lehrkräfte sind überlastet und oft nicht ausreichend geschult, um auf die besonderen Bedürfnisse der Schülerinnen und Schüler einzugehen. Es gilt dieses zu überarbeiten, nicht abzuschreiben.
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
Switzerland is also successful because of its dual education system with vocational apprenticeships and universities of applied sciences. The canton of St.Gallen is an example of how the quality and the requirements for gymnasiale Maturität can be kept high.
Die Schweiz ist auch wegen dem dualen Ausbildungssystem mit Berufslehren und Fachhochschulen erfolgreich. Der Kanton St.Gallen zeigt beispielhaft vor, wie die Qualität und die Anforderungen an gymnasiale Maturität hochgehalten werden können.
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
Education creates equal opportunities and should therefore be within everyone's reach within the same framework.
Bildung schafft Chancengleichheit und sollte deshalb für alle im gleichen Rahmen greifbar sein.
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
Liberalization (simplification of procedures) is important and the integration requirements should be adjusted. Naturalization requires integration, which also takes time.
Eine Liberalisierung (Verfahrensvereinfachung) ist wichtig und die Integrationsanforderungen sollen sollen angepasst werden. Eine Einbürgerung setzt Integration voraus, die aber auch ihre Zeit benötigt.
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
Highly qualified workers, who are lacking in individual sectors in Switzerland, should be allowed to work. We need to think more deeply about the availability of skilled workers.
Hochqualifizierte Arbeitskräfte, die in der Schweiz in einzelnen Branchen fehlen, sollen arbeiten dürfen. Wir müssen uns vertiefte Gedanken über die Verfügbarkeit von Fachkräften machen.
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
Asylum procedures should be carried out in Switzerland. The EU efforts to introduce simplified procedures for people from safe third countries at the Schengen external border are to be welcomed.
Asylverfahren sollen in der Schweiz durchgeführt werden. Die EU-Bestrebungen, welche an der Schengen-Aussengrenze vereinfachte Verfahren für Menschen aus sicheren Drittstaaten einführen wollen 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
Rights go hand in hand with duties (e.g. compulsory service). Those who want to have a say should become naturalized citizens.
Mit Rechten gehen Pflichten einher (z.B. Dienstpflicht). Wer mitbestimmen will, soll sich einbürgern lassen.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The consumption of cannabis is comparable to that of alcohol. Dealing with the quantities is crucial.
Der Konsum von Cannabis ist dem von Alkohol zu vergleichen. Der Umgang mit den Mengen ist entscheidend.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Persons with an incurable, limiting illness should be given the opportunity to end their suffering with dignity.
Personen mit einer unheilbaren, einschränkenden Krankheit sollen die Möglichkeit bekommen würdig ihr Leiden zu beenden.
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 at all in as many places as possible. At present, this is not yet possible due to resulting legal uncertainties. However, we must strive for a change.
Das Geschlecht sollte an möglichst vielen Orten überhaupt keine Rolle spielen. Zurzeit ist das aufgrund resultierenden Rechtsunsicherheiten noch nicht möglich. Es gilt aber eine Veränderung anzustreben.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Love is a private matter.
Liebe ist Privatsache.
Finances & taxes
Reduce taxes at the federal level

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The aim is to relieve the population as much as possible.
Es gilt die Bevölkerung so gut wie möglich zu entlasten.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In today's world, individual taxation independent of civil status is long overdue.
In der heutigen Zeit ist eine zivilstandsunabhängige Individualbesteuerung schon lange fällig.
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
There are already progressive income taxes and a wealth tax. Additional taxes should be rejected.
Es gibt bereits progressive Einkommenssteuern und eine Vermögenssteuer. Zusätzliche Steuern sind abzulehnen.
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
Redistribution in the fiscal equalization system already serves its purpose.
Die Umverteilung im Finanzausgleich erfüllt bereits heute seinen Zweck.
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
Wages and working conditions are regulated privately between employees and employers (social partnership). However, there are industries and circumstances that require a minimum wage.
Löhne und Arbeitsbedingungen werden privatwirtschaftlich zwischen Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitgeber (Sozialpartnerschaft) geregelt. Es gibt jedoch Branchen und Umstände, welche einen Mindestlohn bedingen.
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
Existing regulations need to be reviewed for their impact.
Die bestehenden Regulierungen müssen auf ihre Wirkung überprüft werden.
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
More competition leads to lower prices and improves the quality of service.
Mehr Wettbewerb führt zu tieferen Preisen und verbessert die Qualität der Dienstleistung.
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
In order to be able to provide sufficient living space, we must relax regulations. Especially regulations that hinder densification should be adapted.
Um genügend Wohnraum zur Verfügung zu stellen können, müssen wir Vorschriften lockern. Gerade Vorschriften, welche die Verdichtung behindern sollen angepasst werden.
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
Government action is needed in both legal and political terms. Wage transparency requires a clear line of jurisdiction.
Es ist ein staatlicher Handlungsbedarf in rechtlicher sowie politischer Hinsicht nötig. Es bedarf Lohntransparenz einer klaren Linie der Rechtsprechung.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Efficient infrastructures are a core task of the state.
Leistungsfähige Infrastrukturen sind eine Kernaufgabe des Staats.
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
Bans are fundamentally the wrong way to go. However, the public interest must always be taken into account. The freedom of the individual must not restrict the freedom of the majority of the population. With a view to the goal of the climate agreements, such a ban must be weighed objectively.
Verbote sind grundsätzlich der falsche Weg. Jedoch ist immer das öffentliche Interesse zu berücksichtigen. Die Freiheit der einzelnen darf nicht die Freiheit der Mehrheit der Bevölkerung einschränken. Mit dem Blick auf das Ziel der Klimaabkommen ist ein solches Verbot objektiv abzuwägen.
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
Incentives help to achieve sustainable and successful progress.
Mit Anreizen erreicht an nachhaltige und erfolgreiche Fortschritte.
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
To achieve the energy turnaround, we must now consistently expand renewable energies such as hydro, solar and wind power.
Um die Energiewende zu erreichen, müssen wir nun konsequent erneuerbare Energien wie Wasser-, Solar- und Windkraft ausbauen.
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
Technology openness is a liberal principle, which is why a legal ban on new construction is disturbing. Under certain conditions, new power plants (e.g. at the current locations) should be allowed to be built. The alternative, the construction of new gas-fired power plants, is not an option for reasons of climate policy and gives itself into the dependence of autocrats.
Die Technologieoffenheit ist ein liberales Prinzip, darum stört ein gesetzliches Neubauverbot. Unter gewissen Voraussetzungen sollen neue Kraftwerke (z.B. an den heutigen Standorten) gebaut werden dürfen. Die Alternative, der Neubau von Gaskraftwerken, ist aus klimapolitischen Gründen keine Option und gibt sich in die Abhängigkeit von Autokraten.
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
Even in rural regions, the state has to provide a good quality basic service, but the services must have a certain relationship to demand.
Auch in ländlichen Regionen hat der Staat eine qualitativ gute Grundversorgung zu gewährleisten, jedoch müssen die Leistungen einen gewissen Bezug zur Nachfrage aufweisen.
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
Progressive electricity prices would accelerate deindustiralization and significantly weaken Switzerland or increase foreign dependence on certain products.
Progressive Strompreise würden die Deindustiralisierung beschleunigen und die Schweiz markant schwächen bzw. die Auslandsabhängigkeit von gewissen Produkten erhöhen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The current protection provisions are to be adapted to today's conditions on a selective basis.
Die aktuellen Schutzbestimmungen sollen punktuell an die heutigen Verhältnisse angepasst werden.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The requirements for receiving direct payments are already high today. A further restriction would accelerate the death of farms and reduce the degree of self-sufficiency. Switzerland has an interest in a producing agriculture.
Die Anforderungen an den Erhalt von Direktzahlungen sind bereits heute hoch. Eine weitere Einschränkung würde das Hofsterben beschleunigen und den Selbstversorgungsgrad senken. Die Schweiz hat ein Interesse an einer produzierenden Landwirtschaft.
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
The standards are already high today, but can be adapted selectively. This benefits the animals as well as the quality of the products.
Die Standards sind bereits heute hoch, können aber punktuell angepasst werden. Das kommt den Tieren wie auch der Qualität der Produkte zugute.
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
More decisive than an abstract number is the quality of the areas. 30% in the high mountains hardly brings the desired effect
Entscheidender als eine abstrakte Zahl ist die Qualität der Flächen. 30% im Hochgebirge bringt kaum die erwünschte Wirkung
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
We must begin to take responsibility towards our environment. Such a ban must be assessed objectively.
Wir müssen beginnen Verantwortung gegenüber unserer Umwelt zu übernehmen. Ein solches Verbot muss objektiv beurteilt werden.
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
The circular economy is a good thing. It should be shaped by the companies and address the needs of the various stakeholders.
Die Kreislaufwirtschaft ist eine gute Sache. Sie soll durch die Unternehmen geprägt sein und sich an die Bedürfnisse der verschiedenen Anspruchsgruppen richten.
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
This is a task for the mobile communications providers. The state should not put any obstacles in the way of this project.
Das ist eine Aufgabe der Mobilfunkanbieter. Der Staat sollte diesem Vorhaben keine Steine in den Weg legen.
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 desirable so that the systems are compatible with each other. One example would be the state electronic identity (E-ID).
Gewisse nationale Standards sind wünschenswert, damit die Systeme miteinander kompatibel sind. Ein Beispiel wäre die staatliche elektronische Identiät (E-ID).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Government regulation would restrict technological progress too much.
Eine staatliche Regulierung würde den Technologiefortschritt allzu stark einschränken.
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
A reduction in television series and radio fees is not bad in principle. However, the tasks of a state television and radio station must first be formulated so that the fees cover only the services that are needed. A blanket reduction is the wrong way to go.
Eine Reduzierung der Fernsehserie- und Radiogebühren ist grundsätzlich nicht schlecht. Jedoch müssen zuerst die Aufgaben eines staatlichen Fernsehens- und Radiosender formuliert werden, damit die Gebühren nur die benötigen Dienste decken. Eine pauschale Reduzierung ist der falsche Weg.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
New rights should always be accompanied by new obligations. Good participation opportunities for young people are already available. We are also of the opinion that the age of consent should be the benchmark for the voting age. If SRA 16 is wanted, then a fundamental discussion about the age of consent would have to be held.
Mit neuen Rechten sollte immer auch neue Pflichten verbunden sein. Gute Partizipationsmöglichkeiten für Jugendliche sind bereits vorhanden. Weiter sind wir der Ansicht, dass das Erreichen der Mündigkeit der Massstab für das Stimmrechtalter sein soll. Wenn SRA 16 gewollt, dann müsste eine grundsätzliche Diskussion über das Mündigkeitsalter geführt werden.
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
The optional financial referendum is already a strongly anchored instrument in many cantons (e.g. also in the canton of St.Gallen). An extension to the federal level is desirable.
Das fakultative Finanzreferendum ist bereits heute in vielen Kantonen (z. B. auch im Kanton St.Gallen) ein stark verankertes Instrument. Eine Ausweitung auf Bundesebene ist wünschenswert.
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
In order for the army to fulfill its constitutional mandate, the army budget and the target level must be increased.
Damit die Armee ihren Verfassungsauftrag erfüllen kann, muss das Armeebudget und der Sollbestand erhöht werden.
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
Stronger cooperation is important for Switzerland's security.
Eine stärkere Zusammenarbeit ist für die Sicherheit der Schweiz wichtig.
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 block re-exports to Western democracies as long as they have an export control system comparable to ours.
Die Schweiz soll den Reexport an westliche Demokratien nicht blockieren, solange diese über ein Exportkontrollsystem verfügen, das mit unserem vergleichbar ist.
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Systematic surveillance should be rejected. In order to ensure safety, surveillance should be considered in certain public places.

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]

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 secured and further developed. Accession or greater political integration must be rejected.
Der Bilaterale Weg muss gesichert und weiterentwickelt werden. Ein Beitritt oder eine stärkere politische Integration sind 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?

Freihandelsabkommen sind für unsere Volkswirtschaft von zentraler Bedeutung, so profitieren Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten, wie auch unsere Unternehmen.
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

Unternehmen müssen Verantwortung für ihr Handlungen übernehmen. Diese Problematik bedarf einer internationalen Lösung, wobei die Schweiz als Vorreiterrolle auftreten kann.
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?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The bilateral path must be secured and further developed.
Der Bilaterale Weg muss gesichert und weiterentwickelt 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]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Neutrality is not an end in itself, but should serve Switzerland's security and foreign policy.
Die Neutralität ist kein Selbstzweck, sondern soll der Sicherheit und der Aussenpolitik der Schweiz dienen.

There are many areas where our national defense is lagging behind the call of the times. We need to improve these areas to strengthen our defense capability. We must strive to position ourselves as a strong partner.
Es gibt viele Bereiche, in denen unsere Landesverteidigung dem Ruf der Zeit nachhinkt. Es gilt diese Bereiche zu verbessern, um unsere Verteidigungskraft zu stärken. Wir müssen uns bemühen, uns als starker Partner zu positionieren.

Development cooperation is an important tool in our international positioning. We should continue to help poorer countries to develop.
Die Entwicklungszusammenarbeit ist ein wichtiges Werkzeug unserer internationalen Positionierung. Wir sollten ärmeren Ländern weiterhin helfen, sich zu entwickeln.

The state of the AHV necessitates an adjustment of the retirement age. However, the benefits in the individual sectors need to be carefully weighed up. For example, it is not possible to work on a construction site for the same length of time as in an office.
Der Zustand der AHV bedingt eine Anpassung des Rentenalters. Es bedarf jedoch einer genauen Abwägung des Nutzens in den einzelnen Branchen. Bspw. kann auf einer Baustelle nicht gleich lang gearbeitet werden wie in einem Büro.
