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
Families sometimes pay more than 10% of their income for health insurance premiums. The cantons would have to noticeably increase the reduction for people who depend on it.
Familien bezahlen teilweise mehr als 10 % ihres Einkommens für Krankenkassenprämien. Die Kantone müssten die Verbilligung für Menschen, die darauf angewiesen sind, spürbar erhöhen.
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 EPP has launched an initiative to this end: https://www.evppev.ch/politik/kampagnen/kampagnen/ja-zu-fairness/
Die EVP hat dazu eine Initiative lanciert: https://www.evppev.ch/politik/kampagnen/kampagnen/ja-zu-fairness/
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 EVP National Councilors have voted in favor of the bill. The reduction to 6% is only one part of the bill. The bill also includes compensatory measures, lowering the entry barriers so that part-time workers can also build up pensions, and so on.
Die EVP-Nationalrätinnen und Nationalräte haben der Vorlage zugestimmt. Die Senkung auf 6% ist nur ein Teil der Vorlage. Es gehören auch Ausgleichsmassnahmen, Senkung der Einstiegshürden, damit auch Teilzeitarbeitende Renten bilden können usw. zur Vorlage.
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
Strong families are a central concern of mine - and of the EPP!
Starke Familien sind ein zentrales Anliegen von mir - und von der EVP!
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 EPP supported the counter-proposal, which provided for more financial resources from the federal government.
Die EVP hat den Gegenvorschlag unterstützt, der mehr finanzielle Mittel seitens des Bundes vorsah.
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
This interference with the physical integrity of the person is not justified.
Dieser Eingriff in die körperliche Integrität des Menschen ist nicht gerechtfertigt.
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 even still subsidized, and its abolition alone would be a good first step. The massive sugar beet cultivation in Switzerland is not sustainable. There are better crops for food security, so sugar consumption should be reduced.
Die Schweizer Zuckerindustrie wird heute sogar noch subventioniert, schon deren Abschaffung wäre ein guter erster Schritt. Der massive Zuckerrübenanbau in der Schweiz ist nicht nachhaltig. Es gäbe bessere Kulturen zur Ernährungssicherheit, drum sollte auch deswegen der Zuckerkonsum reduziert werden.
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
Treatments must remain affordable for all.
Behandlungen müssen für alle erschwinglich bleiben.
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
In my opinion, the Federal Council attempted to impose only moderate restrictions during the pandemic. Lessons should have been learned for the future.
Der Bundesrat hat meines Erachtens während der Pandemie versucht, nur massvoll einzuschränken. Aus den Erfahrungen müsste man auch für die Zukunft gelernt haben.
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
A cross-cantonal cooperation and overall view of the offer - with good coverage - should lead to a reduction in costs.
Eine kantonsübergreifende Zusammenarbeit und Gesamtsicht des Angebots - mit guter Abdeckung - müsste zu einer Kostensenkung führen.
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
As a family caring for a foster child with multiple disabilities, inclusion, the greatest possible self-determination and visibility of people with a disability are very important to us. Sympathy, consideration and understanding can only grow in mutual cooperation. In many cases, however, the needs of people with a disability will be much better met in a special class, because the demands on regular schools are already very demanding.
Als Familie, die ein Pflegekind mit Mehrfachbehinderung betreut, ist uns Inklusion, grösstmögliche Selbstbestimmung und Sichtbarkeit von Menschen mit einer Behinderung sehr wichtig. Anteilnahme, Rücksichtnahme und Verständnis kann nur im gegenseitigen Miteinander wachsen. In vielen Fällen wird man aber den Bedürfnissen von Menschen mit einer Behinderung viel besser in einer Sonderklasse nachkommen können, denn die Anforderungen an die Regelschulen sind schon jetzt sehr anspruchsvoll.
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
I am a fan of vocational apprenticeships (learning by doing) and the dual, permeable Swiss education system with the possibility to get to the vocational baccalaureate via a profession. See my article in the magazine FamilyNEXT here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/lernen-durch-tun-niklaus-mosimann-schwab
Ich bin ein Fan der Berufslehre (Lernen durch Tun) und dem dualen, durchlässigen Schweizer Bildungssystem mit der Möglichkeit, über einen Beruf zur Berufsmatura zu kommen. Siehe meinen Artikel in der Zeitschrift FamilyNEXT hier: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/lernen-durch-tun-niklaus-mosimann-schwab
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 important. This can only be achieved with targeted support.
Chancengleichheit ist wichtig. Das kann nur mit gezielter Förderung hergestellt werden.
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
Good integration is not first and foremost based on citizenship.
Gute Integration macht sich nicht zuerst am Bürgerrecht fest.
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
In times of a shortage of skilled workers, this could alleviate the problem.
In Zeiten von Fachkräftemangel könnte das Problem damit entschärft werden.
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
An "outsourcing" of people fleeing to a third country seems to me highly unworthy. There are enough possibilities to accommodate asylum seekers well in Switzerland during the procedure. Those who have a recognized reason for asylum should also be granted asylum in Switzerland. I would involve church refugee organizations such as the Salvation Army and Caritas much more in refugee care, whose commitment is altruistic.
Eine "Auslagerung" von Menschen auf der Flucht in ein Drittland erscheint mir höchst unwürdig. Es gibt genug Möglichkeiten, Asylsuchende während des Verfahrens gut in der Schweiz zu beherbergen. Wer einen anerkannten Asylgrund hat, soll auch in der Schweiz Asyl erhalten. Ich würde kirchliche Flüchtlingswerke wie Heilsarmee und Caritas viel stärker in die Flüchtlingsbetreuung involvieren, deren Engagement uneigennützig ist.
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
This issue can remain further in the autonomy of the municipality.
Diese Frage kann weiter in der Autonomie der Gemeinde bleiben.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Cannabis is gateway drug No. 1 - legalization opens the door to addictive behavior unhindered.
Cannabis ist Einstiegsdroge Nr. 1 - eine Legalisierung öffnet einem Suchtverhalten ungehindert Tür und Tor.
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
Humane end-of-life care is to be promoted.
Menschenwürdige Sterbebegleitung ist zu fördern.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
For the few cases where it cannot be clearly determined biologically whether someone is female or male, there is no need for such a massive intervention. The presumption exists that the placement of "diverse" as a fighting term should become visible.
Für die wenigen Fälle, wo biologisch nicht klar festgestellt werden kann, ob jemand weiblich oder männlich ist, braucht es keinen so massiven Eingriff. Die Vermutung besteht, dass die Platzierung von "divers" als Kampfbegriff sichtbar werden soll.
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
The EPP has always been critical of the possibilities of reproductive medicine. If lesbian couples are given access to sperm donation, this will also affect the rights of unborn children: the de facto fatherlessness will become the legal rule with unresolved consequences for the children's identity. Further demands for egg donation and surrogacy are foreseeable.
Die EVP hat die Möglichkeiten der Fortpflanzungsmedizin schon immer kritisch begleitet. Wenn lesbische Paare den Zugang zur Samenspende erhalten, berührt dies auch die Rechte der ungeborenen Kinder: Die faktische Vaterlosigkeit wird zum gesetzlichen Regelfall mit ungeklärten Folgen für die Identitätsfindung der Kinder. Weitere Forderungen nach Eizellenspende und Leihmutterschaft sind absehbar.
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
The federal government is already challenged to meet its obligations without tax cuts.
Der Bund ist schon ohne Steuersenkungen gefordert, seinen Verpflichtungen nachkommen zu können.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This is the wrong way. The "marriage penalty", however, must be eliminated, where the EPP is campaigning for it with an initiative: https://www.evppev.ch/politik/kampagnen/kampagnen/ja-zu-fairness/
Das ist der falsche Weg. Die "Heiratsstrafe" jedoch muss beseitigt werden, wo sich die EVP mit einer Initiative dafür einsetzt: https://www.evppev.ch/politik/kampagnen/kampagnen/ja-zu-fairness/
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 EPP and its partners launched an initiative for inheritance tax reform. It was intended to tax inheritances that exceed 2 million.
2012 hat die EVP mit Partnern eine Initiative für eine Erbschaftsteuerreform lanciert. Es war vorgesehen, Erbschaften zu besteuern, die über 2 Mio. gehen.
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
The differences in tax burdens are huge in some cases because cantons like Zug and Nidwalden, for example, have such low tax rates. The financial equalization must be strengthened so that the tax rates are equalized.
Die Unterschiede bei der Steuerbelastung sind zum Teil riesig, weil z.B. Kantone wie Zug und Nidwalden so tiefe Steuersätze haben. Der Finanzausgleich muss verstärkt werden, damit sich die Steuersätze angleichen.
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
Wage protection must be guaranteed. A minimum wage that is too high can have a counterproductive effect.
Der Lohnschutz muss gewährleistet werden. Ein zu hoher Mindestlohn kann sich kontraproduktiv auswirken.
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
Absolutely!
Unbedingt!
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Higher utilization rates: yes. Less noise protection: no. Densified building is needed to protect cultivated land.
Höhere Ausnutzungsziffern: ja. Weniger Lärmschutz: nein. Um Kulturland zu schützen, braucht es verdichtetes Bauen.
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
The regulations that have come into force for large companies (100 or more employees) should be extended to companies with 50 or more employees.
Die in Kraft getretenen Regelungen für grosse Unternehmen (ab 100 Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern) sollten auf Unternehmen ab 50 Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern erweitert werden.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The current infrastructure should be well maintained and, if possible, expanded (e.g., with tunnels) without loss of cultivated land.
Die jetzige Infrastruktur soll gut erhalten werden und möglichst ohne Kulturlandverlust ausgebaut werden (z.B. mit Tunneln).
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
Internal combustion engines will have to disappear, but this will be regulated by EU rules and demand itself.
Verbrennungsmotoren werden verschwinden müssen, das werden aber EU-Regeln und die Nachfrage selber regeln.
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 and target agreements sound appealing, but they are expensive and unfortunately often inefficient. Sometimes a ban makes more sense and achieves a faster effect (example CFC).
Anreize und Zielvereinbarungen klingen reizvoll, sind aber teuer und leider oft ineffizient. Manchmal ist ein Verbot sinnvoller und erreicht schneller Wirkung (Beispiel FCKW).
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
First of all, as much renewable energy as possible should be developed in the built-up area: House roofs, freeway verges, etc. Solar power would have to be well stored/converted in peak times, e.g. in the form of hydrogen.
Zuerst soll im bebauten Raum möglichst viel erneuerbare Energie ausgebaut werden: Hausdächer, Autobahnränder usw. Solarstrom müsste in Spitzenzeiten gut gespeichert/umgewandelt werden, z.B. in Form von Wasserstoff.
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
The EPP is in favor of phasing out a technology that generates hazardous waste for millennia to come. No one wants to store this waste at safely.
Die EVP ist für den Ausstieg aus einer Technologie, die gefährliche Abfälle über Jahrtausende hinaus generiert. Niemand will diese Abfälle bei sicher lagern.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 not be fair in part because not everyone would have access to alternative energy.
Das wäre teilweise nicht fair, weil nicht alle Zugriff auf alternative Energien hätten.
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
For agriculture and alpine farming it is a real problem and the protection of herds is a huge effort. On the other hand, the large predators are an enrichment for nature and biodiversity and at least the lynx is not a problem in Switzerland.
Für Land- und Alpwirtschaft ist es ein wirkliches Problem und der Herdenschutz ein riesiger Aufwand. Andererseits sind die Grossraubtiere eine Bereicherung für Natur und Biodiversität und zumindest der Luchs ist kein Problem in der Schweiz.
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 EPP has supported the drinking water initiative. However, the administrative burden for the ÖLN should definitely be kept to a minimum.
Die EVP hat die Trinkwasser-Initiative unterstützt. Der administrative Aufwand für den ÖLN müsste jedoch unbedingt minimal gehalten werden.
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
At the same time, domestically produced food must be promoted and producers better compensated.
Gleichzeitig müssen einheimisch produzierte Nahrungsmittel gefördert und die Produzenten besser entgolten 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
30% is considered necessary by experts. Switzerland stands at just under half of this (generously calculated). With more extensive agriculture - permaculture, for example - less compensation area would be needed.
30% wird von Experten als notwendig erachtet. Die Schweiz steht bei knapp der Hälfte davon (grosszügig gerechnet). Bei einer verstärkten extensiven Landwirtschaft - Permakultur z.B. - bräuchte es weniger Ausgleichsfläche.
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
A circular economy is to be strived for.

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 |

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
Independent and good journalism has its price and is important for a functioning democracy.
Unabhängiger und guter Journalismus hat seinen Preis und ist wichtig für eine funktionierende Demokratie.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?

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?

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
Weapons do not serve peace.

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
Currently, the relationship with the EU is disturbed. Access to important education programs, electricity agreements, etc. are no longer guaranteed. The current situation is rather negative for Switzerland.
Zurzeit ist die Beziehung zur EU gestört. Zugang zu wichtigen Bildungsprogrammen, Stromabkommen etc. sind nicht mehr gewährleistet. Die derzeitige Situation ist für die Schweiz eher negativ.
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?

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?

I consider the largest possible proportion of childcare to be provided by father or mother - both on a part-time basis - to be ideal. With childcare vouchers, parents would have more freedom of choice in childcare.

Comment
It is imperative that the sustainability of supported projects be guaranteed. Switzerland has its luxury partly at the expense of poorer countries. Alleviating need outside the country is a duty and also reduces migration pressure.
Die Nachhaltigkeit unterstützter Projekte muss zwingend gewährleistet sein. Die Schweiz hat ihren Luxus teilweise auf Kosten ärmerer Länder. Linderung von Not ausserhalb des Landes ist Pflicht und verringert auch den Migrationsdruck.
Comment
This will probably become necessary in the longer term. Now, however, it would be too close to increasing the AHV retirement age for women.
Das wird längerfristig vermutlich nötig werden. Jetzt wäre es aber zu nah an der Erhöhung des AHV-Rentenalters für Frauen.
