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
Health insurance premiums are far too high for many families.
Le budget "primes d'assuranace maladie" est beaucoup trop important pour de nombreuses familles.
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
Because this is absolutely unfair...and leads to couples getting divorced before they reach AHV age!
Car cela est absolument injuste...et amène des couples à divorcer avant l'âge AVS !
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 ENP members of the National Council approved the project. But the question of the 6.0% cut is only one part of the project, and should not be considered in isolation. (It also involves compensatory measures: lowering entry barriers so that people working part-time can also build up pensions, etc.).
Les membres du PEV au Conseil national ont approuvé le projet. Mais la question de la baisse à 6,0% n'est qu'une partie du projet, qu'il ne faut pas considérer isolément. (Il s'agit également de mesures compensatoires : abaissement des barrières à l'entrée afin que les personnes travaillant à temps partiel puissent également se constituer des rentes, etc).
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
Yes, absolutely --> for strong families!
Oui absolument --> pour des familles fortes !
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
The construction of public housing can counter the rise in rental prices. In principle, however, this is a matter for local authorities.
La construction de logements d'utilité publique peut contrer la hausse des prix des loyers. Mais en principe, la compétence en la matière relève plutôt du niveau communal.
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
Vaccination rates among Swiss children are high. Education and good communication are preferable to compulsory vaccination. As a last resort, however, the possibility of compulsory vaccination must be maintained to protect the child.
Le taux de vaccination des enfants en Suisse est élevé. L'éducation et une bonne communication sont préférables à l'obligation. En dernier recours, la possibilité d'une vaccination obligatoire doit toutefois être maintenue pour protéger l'enfant.
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
Today, the Swiss sugar industry is still subsidized! We should start by abolishing these subsidies.
Aujourd'hui, l'industrie sucrière suisse est encore subventionnée ! Il faudrait commencer par supprimer ces subventions.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Lessons must be learned from the pandemic to adapt the legal bases. At the same time, the pandemic has also shown that the Federal Council's options are important and necessary for rapid action in the event of a pandemic.
Des leçons doivent être tirées de la pandémie pour adapter les bases juridiques. En même temps, la pandémie a également montré que les possibilités du Conseil fédéral étaient importantes et nécessaires pour agir rapidement en cas de pandémie.
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
Rising costs in the healthcare sector call for more efficient, inter-cantonal solutions.
L'augmentation des coûts dans le secteur de la santé exige des solutions plus efficaces et intercantonales.
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
People with disabilities are an integral part of society and should not be segregated wherever possible. However, the necessary resources must be developed.
Les personnes en situation de handicap font partie intégrante de la société et ne doivent donc pas être séparées dans la mesure du possible. Les ressources nécessaires à cet effet doivent toutefois être développées.
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 number of gymnasium students must remain stable. An increase in requirements is only necessary if this rate cannot be maintained otherwise, and if alternative measures, such as reinforcing apprenticeships, are not sufficiently effective.
Le taux de gymnasien·ne·s doit rester stable. Une augmentation des exigences n'est nécessaire que si ce taux ne peut pas être maintenu autrement et si les mesures alternatives, comme le renforcement de l'apprentissage, ne sont pas suffisamment efficaces.
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
Equal opportunities are extremely important, and can only be achieved with targeted support.
L'égalité des chances est extrêmement importante et ne peut être établie qu'avec un soutien ciblé.
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
Absurd unchanged residency requirements and unequal rules from one municipality to another are unfair. This is why the requirements need to be standardized and made more flexible.
Des exigences absurdes en matière de résidence inchangée et des règles inégales d'une commune à l'autre sont injustes. C'est pourquoi les exigences doivent être uniformisées et assouplies.
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
At a time when skilled labor is in short supply, it makes sense to increase the quota for third countries. But this must not be at the expense of welcoming refugees.
En ces temps de pénurie de main-d'œuvre qualifiée, il est opportun d'augmenter le contingent des pays tiers. Mais cela ne doit pas se faire au détriment de l'accueil des réfugiés.
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 applications must be processed in accordance with the rule of law. Such a practice would hardly be compatible with human dignity. What's more, valuable time spent preparing for integration (language courses, etc.) would be lost.
Les demandes d'asile doivent être traitées dans le respect de l'État de droit. Une telle pratique serait difficilement compatible avec la dignité humaine. De plus, un temps précieux consacré à la préparation de temps pour se préparer à l'intégration (cours de langue, etc.) serait perdu.
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
The right to vote and stand for election must remain linked to citizenship. However, the requirements for naturalization must be relaxed.
Le droit de vote et d'éligibilité doit rester lié à la citoyenneté. Cependant, les exigences en matière de naturalisation doivent être assouplies.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In principle, we strive to have as few people as possible using mind-altering substances. Legalization would only be an option if it led to a reduction in the number of users, thanks to better prevention or increased youth protection.
En principe, nous nous efforçons d'avoir le moins possible de personnes qui consomment des substances altérant la conscience. La légalisation ne serait une option que si elle entraînait une diminution des consommateurs / consommatrices, grâce à une meilleure prévention ou à une protection accrue de la jeunesse.
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
Direct active euthanasia is unethical. On the contrary, palliative care must be strengthened to ensure aging with dignity.
L'euthanasie active directe est contraire à l'éthique. Il faut au contraire renforcer les soins palliatifs afin de garantir un vieillissement dans la dignité.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
At most for the rare cases that are not clearly biologically "male" or "female", but not for giving oneself a felt gender without precise justification.
Tout au plus pour les rares cas qui ne sont pas clairement "masculins" ou "féminins" sur le plan biologique, mais pas pour se donner un sexe ressenti sans justification précise.
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
Equality has been decided by the people and is therefore not on the agenda. The EPI rejected access to sperm donation for lesbian couples, as sperm donation is a sensitive issue in general.
L'égalité a été décidée par le peuple et n'est donc pas à l'ordre du jour. Le PEV a rejeté l'accès au don de sperme pour les couples de lesbiennes, le don de sperme étant un sujet délicat de manière générale.
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
At present, the federal government's finances are strained, and a tax cut would therefore be linked to a sharp reduction in benefits.
Actuellement, la situation des finances fédérales est tendue et une baisse d'impôt serait donc liée à une forte réduction des prestations.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I invite you to consult the initiative of the EPI and the Centre: https://www.evppev.ch/fr/politique/campagnes/campagnes/oui-a-l-equite/ Full splitting taxation would be the fair alternative.
Je vous inviter à consulter l'initiative du PEV et du Centre : https://www.evppev.ch/fr/politique/campagnes/campagnes/oui-a-l-equite/ L'imposition avec splitting intégral serait l'alternative équitable.
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
In 2012, the EPI and its partners launched an initiative for inheritance tax reform. This initiative envisaged taxing estates worth more than CHF 2 million. An inheritance tax would help combat growing inequality and is a fair form of taxation. However, it would have to be designed in such a way as to take family businesses into account.
En 2012, le PEV et ses partenaires ont lancé une initiative pour une réforme de l'impôt sur les successions. Cette initiative prévoyait d'imposer les successions de plus de 2 millions de francs. Un impôt sur les successions permettrait de lutter contre les inégalités croissantes et constitue une forme d'imposition équitable. Il devrait toutefois être conçu de manière à tenir compte des entreprises familiales.
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
Because of the differences between the cantons, fiscal equalization is necessary and extremely important for the recipient cantons. In addition, stronger fiscal equalization helps combat harmful tax competition between cantons.
En raison des différences entre les cantons, la péréquation financière est nécessaire et extrêmement importante pour les cantons bénéficiaires. De plus, une péréquation financière plus forte permet de lutter contre la concurrence fiscale néfaste entre les cantons.
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
In principle, the EPI is critical of the state setting minimum wages, as this can also lead to higher unemployment. However, work must be fairly remunerated - in this respect, CHF 4,000 is a reasonable minimum.
En principe, le PEV est critique à l'égard de la fixation de salaires minimums par l’État, car cela peut aussi entraîner une hausse du chômage. Toutefois, le travail doit être rémunéré de manière équitable - à cet égard, 4 000 CHF constituent un minimum raisonnable.
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
The CS crisis has shown that the financial sector, as a provider of essential services, needs stricter rules. The risk is often borne by the community.
La crise du CS a montré que le secteur financier, en tant que prestataire de services de première nécessité, a besoin de règles plus strictes. En effet, le risque est souvent supporté par la collectivité.
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
Liberalization is unnecessary and has often proved ineffective and costly abroad. What's more, the current system makes it easier to promote renewable electricity.
Une libéralisation n'est pas nécessaire et s'est souvent révélée inefficace et coûteuse à l'étranger. De plus, avec le système actuel, il est plus facile de promouvoir l'électricité renouvelable.
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
Land use index: yes Noise protection: rather no Densification is needed to protect farmland.
Indice d'utilisation du sol : oui Protection contre le bruit : plutôt non Pour protéger les terres cultivables, il faut une densification.
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
Wage discrimination must be combated. Stricter controls are needed to ensure that equal pay is paid for work of equal value.
La discrimination salariale doit être combattue. Des contrôles plus stricts sont nécessaires pour s'assurer que le même salaire est versé pour un travail de valeur égale.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
New roads mean more traffic and a further loss of farmland. Exceptions (e.g. with tunnels) may make sense.
Les nouvelles routes entraînent une augmentation du trafic et une nouvelle perte de terres cultivables. Des exceptions (p. ex. avec des tunnels) peuvent avoir du sens.
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
It's debatable whether such a ban is necessary, as EU rules and demand will resolve this issue on their own anyway. But it is clear that combustion engines must be phased out.
On peut se demander si cette interdiction est nécessaire, car les règles de l'UE et la demande régleront cette problématique de toute façon d'elles-mêmes. Mais il est clair que les moteurs à combustion doivent être supprimés.
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
As far as possible, we need to rely on incentives. Unfortunately, incentives are not always effective enough. That's why, in some areas, restrictions are necessary to ensure that climate objectives are met effectively.
Dans la mesure du possible, il faut miser sur les incitations. Malheureusement, les incitations ne sont pas toujours assez efficaces. C'est pourquoi, dans certains domaines, des restrictions sont nécessaires pour permettre d'atteindre efficacement les objectifs climatiques.
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
Energy transition and security of supply are absolute priorities. But unrestricted relaxation is not the way forward; we need pragmatic solutions.
La transition énergétique et la sécurité de l'approvisionnement en énergie sont des priorités absolues. Mais un assouplissement sans limites n'est pas indiqué, il faut des des solutions pragmatiques.
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
Nuclear power plants are uneconomical to build and operate, and nuclear waste remains a major environmental problem. To guarantee energy security, we need to switch to renewable energies, because uranium, used for nuclear power, is also an exhaustible energy source.
La construction et l'exploitation de centrales nucléaires ne sont pas rentables et les déchets nucléaires restent un problème majeur pour l'environnement. Pour garantir la sécurité énergétique, nous devons passer aux énergies renouvelables, car l'uranium, utilisé pour l'énergie nucléaire, est également une source d'énergie épuisable.
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
Public services are called utilities because the services and infrastructure they contain should be equally accessible to the entire population. For this to be the case, there must be a good supply of public services in the countryside.
Le service public est appelé service public parce que les prestations et l'infrastructure qu'il contient devraient être accessibles de la même manière à toute la population. Pour que cela soit vrai, il faut une bonne offre de service public à la campagne.
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
Difficult to apply and partly unfair (for example, anyone not connected to a district heating network is at a disadvantage, which you can't influence yourself).
Difficilement applicable et en partie injuste (par exemple, celui qui n'est pas raccordé à un réseau de chauffage à distance est désavantagé, ce que l'on ne peut pas influencer soi-même).
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
This is a real problem for agriculture and the alpine economy, and protecting the herds represents a huge effort.
Un vrai problème pour l'agriculture et l'économie alpestre, et la protection des troupeaux représente un effort énorme.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Subsidies in the agricultural sector must provide the right incentives for the ecological shift. However, farms should not be completely excluded from direct payments, as they are also important for basic supplies.
Les subventions dans l'agriculture doivent constituer des incitations judicieuses pour le tournant écologique. Il ne faut toutefois pas exclure totalement les exploitations des paiements directs, car celles-ci sont également importantes pour l'approvisionnement de base.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
30% is a reasonable and effective proportion for safeguarding biodiversity, but it may be difficult to implement in Switzerland, where the proportion is currently estimated at just under 15%.
30 % est une proportion raisonnable et efficace pour la sauvegarde de la biodiversité, mais il est possible que cela soit difficile à mettre en œuvre en Suisse, car la proportion est actuellement estimée à un peu moins de 15%.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Appliances with deliberately short operating times are harmful to consumers and consume a lot of resources unnecessarily.
Les appareils dont la durée d'utilisation est volontairement courte sont nocifs pour les consommateurs et consommatrices et consomment inutilement beaucoup de ressources.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Much remains to be done, particularly in the field of information security. The Confederation must be able to define and impose uniform guidelines in this area.
Il reste encore beaucoup à faire, en particulier dans le domaine de la sécurité de l'information. La Confédération doit pouvoir définir et imposer des directives uniformes dans ce domaine.
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
State directives are important to ensure that private platform operators do not focus indefinitely on maximizing profits, but also assume their responsibilities.
Les directives de l’État sont importantes pour que les exploitants de plateformes privées ne s'orientent pas indéfiniment vers la maximisation des profits, mais assument aussi leurs responsabilités.
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
Objective, high-quality journalism has a cost, and is important for the proper functioning of democracy.
Un journalisme objectif et de qualité a un coût et est important pour le bon fonctionnement de la démocratie.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The young people of the EPI support the right to vote at the age of 16, because at 16, people have already developed the ability to make well-considered decisions on concrete issues, democracy must be learned early and young people, who have long been involved in political decisions, must also be able to participate in decision-making.
Le Jeunes du PEV soutiennent le droit de vote à 16 ans, car à 16 ans, on a déjà développé les capacités nécessaires pour prendre des décisions réfléchies sur des questions concrètes, la démocratie doit être apprise tôt et les jeunes, qui sont concerné·e·s depuis longtemps par les décisions politiques, doivent également pouvoir participer aux décisions.
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
This could block important processes. What's more, a large number of votes have already been cast.
Pourrait entraîner le blocage de processus importants. De plus, de très nombreux votes ont déjà lieu.
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 army's actual strength is already around 140,000, compared with a theoretical strength of 100,000. The theoretical strength should in fact be sufficient, and if an increase were to be envisaged, it would in many cases be at the expense of civilian service.
L'effectif réel de l'armée est déjà d'environ 140'000 personnes pour un effectif théorique de 100'000. L'effectif théorique devrait en fait suffire et si une augmentation de celui-ci était envisagée, elle le serait dans de nombreuses solutions au détriment du service civil.
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
As a matter of principle, I'm against arms and arms exports.
Je suis par principe contre les armes et leur exportation.
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The Schengen Agreement is also in Switzerland's interest and must be maintained.
L'accord de Schengen est également dans l'intérêt de la Suisse et doit être maintenu.
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 current situation is damaging for Switzerland (access to important education programs, electricity agreements, etc. are no longer guaranteed). A rapprochement with the EU (without EU membership) is necessary.
La situation actuelle est dommageable pour la Suisse (les accès à d'importants programmes d'éducation, les accords sur l'électricité, etc. ne sont plus est garantis). Un rapprochement avec l'UE (sans adhésion à l'UE) est nécessaire.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
In connection with the initiative for responsible multinationals!
En lien avec l'initiative pour des multinationales responsables !
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine has shown that a "strict interpretation" is neither relevant nor accepted internationally.
La guerre d'agression menée par la Russie contre l'Ukraine a montré qu'une "interprétation stricte" n'est ni pertinente ni acceptée au niveau international.

A free market economy can lead to increasing prosperity, but also to growing inequality. The state has an important role to play in preventing the gap between rich and poor from widening any further.

Punishment, and therefore deterrence, is an integral part of justice. But in principle, the goal must be reintegration into society. At the same time, criminals who regret their actions and who can be considered non-dangerous must be allowed to live in freedom.
La punition, et donc la dissuasion, fait partie intégrante de la justice. Mais en principe, l'objectif doit être la réinsertion dans la société. Parallèlement, les criminel·le·s qui regrettent leur acte et qui peuvent être considéré·e·s comme non dangereux doivent pouvoir vivre en liberté.

Comment
In the long term, this is certainly an issue. On the other hand, it doesn't make sense in the current context (so soon after the increase in the AHV retirement age for women). It is therefore not appropriate to accept the initiative in this respect.
A long terme, c'est certainement un sujet. En revanche, cela ne passe pas dans le contexte actuel (aussi peu de temps après le relèvement de l'âge AVS pour les femmes). Il n'est donc pas opportun d'accepter l'initiative à ce sujet.
