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 on the rise, this challenges many people, especially families.
Die Krankenkassenprämien sind am steigen, dies fordert viele Menschen, insbesondere Familien, heraus.
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
This deplorable state of affairs must finally be remedied. Married persons should not be in a worse position than cohabiting couples and all other retired persons.
Dieser Missstand muss endlich behoben werden. Verheiratete sollen nicht schlechter gestellt werden als Konkubinatspaare und alle anderen Personen in Rente.
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
It's about generational justice. But this issue should not be viewed in isolation. I voted in favor of the entire BVG revision bill in the final vote. That's because it's also about compensatory measures or better treatment for people with low wages, part-time jobs and multiple jobs.
Es geht um Generationengerechtigkeit. Aber diese Frage darf man nicht ganz isoliert betrachten. Ich stimmte der gesamten Vorlage der BVG-Revision in der Schlussabstimmung zu. Denn da geht es auch um Ausgleichsmassnahmen oder Besserstellung von Menschen mit niedrigen Löhnen, Teilzeitpensen und Mehrfachbeschäftigungen.
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
14 weeks maternity leave and two weeks paternity leave is too little.
14 Wochen Mutterschafts- und zwei Wochen Vaterschaftsurlaub ist zu wenig.
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 financial resources on the part of the federal government were increased not long ago, and I supported this. On the other hand, I rejected the popular initiative "More affordable housing. The initiators demanded that at least ten percent of newly built housing in Switzerland should be non-profit housing developers.
Die finanziellen Mittel seitens Bund wurden vor nicht langer Zeit aufgestockt, dies habe ich unterstützt. Hingegen habe ich die Volksinitiative "Mehr bezahlbare Wohnungen" abgelehnt. Da forderten die Initianten, dass Gesamtschweizerisch mindestens zehn Prozent der neu gebauten Wohnungen gemeinnützige Bauträger sein sollte.
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
I am grateful for what we have achieved with vaccination. Many diseases are no longer or rarely present in Switzerland. But we have also achieved this without coercion.
Ich bin dankbar für das, was wir mit dem Impfen erreicht haben. Viele Krankheiten sind in der Schweiz nicht mehr oder selten präsent. Doch dies haben wir auch ohne Zwang erreicht.
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
To fund all the prevention efforts, it would be right. At the moment, some things are underway on a voluntary basis. In principle, taxation would also have to tax products containing fat (e.g. chips).
Um all die Präventionsbemühungen zu finanzieren, wäre es richtig. Momentan ist einiges auf freiwilliger Basis im Gang. Grundsätzlich müsste bei einer Besteuerung auch fetthaltige Produkte besteuert werden (z.B. Pommes-Chips).
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
Appropriate would probably be when going to emergency for "minor" cases. However, it is true that we have a choice in the deductible rate. The population is also currently paying more premiums due to rising healthcare costs.
Angebracht wäre es wahrscheinlich dann, wenn man bei "Bagatellfällen" in den Notfall geht. Dass wir eine Wahl bei der Franchise haben, ist aber richtig. Die Bevölkerung bezahlt momentan aufgrund der steigenden Gesundheitskosten zudem mehr Prämien.
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
The Federal Council has learned its lessons from the Covid 19 pandemic. In addition, it endeavored to make its decisions with a sense of proportion.
Der Bundesrat hat aus der Covid-19-Pandemie seine Lehren gezogen. Zudem war er bestrebt mit Augenmass seine Entscheidungen zu 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
The cantons would not agree with this and it contradicts the federalist idea. However, costs could be reduced by this measure. And therefore the topic must not be left out.
Die Kantone wären damit nicht einverstanden und es widerspricht dem föderalistischen Gedanken. Kosten könnten aber durch diese Massnahme gesenkt werden. Und somit darf das Thema nicht aussen vor gelassen werden.
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
However, there must be enough teachers on site, as well as teachers/assistants with the appropriate training.
Es müssen aber genügend Lehrpersonen vor Ort sein, zudem auch Lehrpersonen/Assistenzpersonen mit der entsprechenden Ausbildung.
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 requirements are sufficient today. But this must be reviewed and adapted again and again.
Die Anforderungen sind heute ausreichend. Aber dies muss immer wieder überprüft und angepasst werden.
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
Equality of opportunity is important and can only be achieved with targeted support.
Chancengleichheit ist wichtig und 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
In principle, we have had an improved procedure since 2018, e.g. facilitated naturalizations of third-generation foreigners. This revision was important. Depending on the canton, however, the requirements continue to differ today, and these would have to be standardized - i.e. the hurdles would have to be reduced.
Grundsätzlich haben wir seit 2018 ein verbessertes Verfahren z.B. erleichterte Einbürgerungen von Ausländerinnen und Ausländer der dritten Generation. Diese Revision war wichtig. Je nach Kanton sind die Anforderungen aber heute weiterhin unterschiedlich, diese müssten vereinheitlicht - also die Hürden abgebaut - werden.
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
The shortage of skilled workers is a significant problem in various industries in Switzerland.
Der Fachkräftemangel ist in der Schweiz in verschiedenen Branchen ein erhebliches Problem.
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
This is very difficult to implement at all. It is also important that asylum applications are carried out correctly according to the rule of law. This is done with the appropriate knowledge of the legal provisions of the country of application, i.e. on the spot.
Dies ist sehr schwierig überhaupt umzusetzen. Wichtig ist zudem, Asylgesuche sollen rechtstaatlich korrekt durchgeführt werden. Dies wird mit den entsprechenden Kenntnissen der gesetzlichen Bestimmungen des Gesuchslandes getätigt, also vor Ort.
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
Ultimately, each municipality can decide this for itself. But I think the prerequisite of naturalization is right.
Schlussendlich kann dies jede Gemeinde selber entscheiden. Ich finde aber die Voraussetzung der Einbürgerung richtig.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
At the moment, pilot trials with controlled dispensing of cannabis are made possible under strict conditions. These must first be evaluated. In this direction, i.e. with similar conditions, I could rather imagine a "liberalization".
Momentan werden Pilotversuche mit kontrollierter Abgabe von Cannabis unter strengen Auflagen ermöglicht. Diese müssen zuerst ausgewertet werden. In diese Richtung, also mit ähnlichen Auflagen, könnte ich eine "Liberalisierung" mir eher vorstellen.
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
For people who are neither clearly "male" nor "female" biologically, this is up for discussion.
Für Menschen, die biologisch weder klar «männlich» noch «weiblich» sind, ist dies zu diskutieren.
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 people have accepted the "Marriage for All" bill. This means that there is equality. However, on the issue of sperm donation, the legal possibility for lesbian couples, I was against it in the Council.
Das Volk hat die Vorlage "Ehe für alle" angenommen. Somit besteht die Gleichstellung. Bei der Frage der Samenspende, die rechtliche Möglichkeit für lesbischen Paare auch zuzulassen, war ich aber im Rat dagegen.
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
Even without tax cuts, the federal government must implement austerity packages.
Schon ohne Steuersenkungen muss der Bund Sparpakete tätigen.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A tax return should continue to apply to married couples. But the "marriage penalty" must finally be eliminated. An alternative calculation is needed that corresponds to the taxation of unmarried couples. There is an initiative for this. The individual taxation will cost us quite a bit, moreover, this system can lead to injustices again (e.g.: couples with a large and a small second income).
Für verheiratete Paare soll weiterhin eine Steuererklärung gelten. Doch die "Heiratsstrafe" muss endlich beseitigt werden. Es braucht eine alternative Berechnung, die der Besteuerung von unverheirateten Paaren entspricht. Dazu gibt es eine Initiative. Die Individualbesteuerung wird uns einiges Kosten, zudem kann dieses System wieder zu Ungerechtigkeiten führen (z.B.: Paare mit einem grossen und einem kleinen Zweiteinkommen).
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
This affects only a smaller number of heirs.
Dies betrifft nur eine kleinere Anzahl von Erben.
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
Tightening the fiscal equalization system so that tax rates converge makes perfect sense.
Eine Verschärfung des Finanzausgleichs, damit sich die Steuersätze angleichen, macht durchaus Sinn.
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
This can be counterproductive - e.g. for internships etc. - be counterproductive.
Dies kann - z.B. für Praktikumsstellen etc. - kontraproduktiv sein.
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
Lessons must be learned from the CS debacle and appropriate measures taken.
Aus dem CS-Debakel muss gelernt werden und entsprechend Massnahmen ergriffen.
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
A market opening is needed for an electricity agreement with the EU. An electricity agreement with the EU would be important. But the free choice of electricity supplier for private households should most likely not be affected. So I still see the current situation as the better one.
Eine Marktöffnung braucht es bei einem Stromabkommen mit der EU. Ein Stromabkommen mit der EU wäre wichtig. Doch der freie Entscheid des Stromanbieters für Privathaushalte sollte mit grosser Wahrscheinlichkeit nicht davon betroffen sein. Somit sehe ich die heutige Situation immer noch als die bessere an.
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
Certain regulations would have to be reviewed precisely because of the housing situation, such as the utilization figures. E.g. the protection of cultivated land or noise protection regulations are important.
Gewisse Vorschriften müssten gerade aufgrund der Wohnungssituation überprüft werden wie z.B. die Ausnutzungsziffern. Z.B. die Schutz von Kulturland oder Lärmschutzvorschriften sind aber u.a. wichtig.
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
A pay equity analysis is now mandatory in companies with 100 or more employees. Thus, a control is carried out. There are simply no sanctions, this would have to be done. Also companies with fewer employees, e.g. from 50 persons, but also there the analysis would be correct and meaningful.
Eine Lohngleichheitsanalyse ist in Betrieben ab 100 Mitarbeitenden heute Pflicht. Somit geschieht dadurch eine Kontrolle. Es gibt einfach keine Sanktionen, dies wäre zu tätigen. Auch Betriebe mit weniger Mitarbeitende, z.B. ab 50 Personen, auch dort wäre aber die Analyse richtig und sinnvoll.
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 bring more traffic and lead to renewed loss of cultivated land. But there are exceptions that can be useful (e.g. of tunnels).
Neue Strassen bringen mehr Verkehr und führt zu erneutem Kulturlandverlust. Es gibt aber Ausnahme, die sinnvoll sein können (z.B. von Tunnels).
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
The EU has issued a ban from 2035. This will automatically have an impact on Switzerland as well. However, bans tend to have a difficult time in Switzerland.
Die EU hat ein Verbot ab 2035 ausgesprochen. Dies wird automatisch auch eine Auswirkung auf die Schweiz haben. Verbote haben aber in der Schweiz eher einen schwierigen Stand.
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
Bans tend to have a difficult time in Switzerland. Incentives and target agreements must be adhered to, however, otherwise bans are the right thing to do.
Verbote haben in der Schweiz eher einen schwierigen Stand. Anreize und Zielvereinbarungen müssen aber auch eingehalten werden, ansonsten sind Verbote doch ein richtiges Mittel.
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
The energy turnaround and securing the energy supply have top priority. However, a limitless relaxation is also not indicated; pragmatic solutions are needed.
Die Energiewende und die Sicherung der Energieversorgung haben höchste Priorität. Eine grenzenlose Lockerung ist aber auch nicht angezeigt, es braucht pragmatische Lösungen.
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
Just because of the cost, the insurance issue, or finding a community that wants a nuclear power plant on their property makes this question moot.
Nur schon aufgrund der Kosten, der Versicherungsfrage oder das Finden einer Gemeinde, die auf ihrem Grundstück ein Atomkraftwerk möchte, erübrigt sich diese Frage.
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
In principle, I support a comprehensive public service offering. However, the benefits, quality and usefulness must also be demonstrated and creative ideas, such as those already being implemented by Swiss Post in cooperation with village stores, are the right thing to do.
Grundsätzlich unterstützte ich ein umfassendes Service-Public-Angebot. Der Nutzen, die Qualität und die Sinnhaftigkeit muss aber auch ausgewiesen werden und kreative Ideen, wie es die Post z.B. in Zusammenarbeit mit Dorfläden schon tätigt, sind richtig.
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 is difficult to implement and can also lead to injustice. (E.g. someone has disadvantages if this person is not connected to a district heating network. This cannot be influenced by oneself).
Dies ist schwierig umsetzbar und kann auch zu Ungerechtigkeiten führen. (Z.B. hat jemand Nachteile, wenn diese Person nicht an ein Fernwärmenetz angeschlossen ist. Dies kann man nicht selber beeinflussen.)
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
Especially with regard to wolves, the parliament has recently acted. I supported this bill. For agriculture and alpine farming, large predators in particular can pose a real problem and herd protection for farmers can be a major expense. But large predators are also an enrichment for nature and biodiversity and not all possible measures make sense. Especially the lynx should not be a problem.
Gerade was die Wölfe betrifft, da hat das Parlament kürzlich gehandelt. Diese Vorlage habe ich unterstützt. Für die Land- und Alpwirtschaft können insbesondere Grossraubtiere ein wirkliches Problem darstellen und der Herdenschutz für Bauern einen grossen Aufwand. Doch sind Grossraubtiere auch eine Bereicherung für Natur und Biodiversität und nicht alle möglichen Massnahmen sind sinnvoll. Gerade der Luchs sollte kein Problem sein.
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 ecological performance record is already applied to direct payments. What is important. This could be expanded.
Der ökologische Leistungsausweis wird bei Direktzahlungen schon angewendet. Was wichtig ist. Dieser könnte erweitert 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The UN demands this, I would think it would be great to increase the share to 20%. At the moment, we are at about 13.4 percent, which is a low percentage.
Die Uno fordert dies, ich fände es schon toll den Anteil auf 20% zu erhöhen. Momentan sind wir bei ca. 13,4 Prozent, was ein niedriger Anteil ist.
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
It is correct that products are created that support the circular economy. However, if it makes sense in an area, exceptions should be granted.
Richtig ist, dass Produkte erstellt werden, die die Kreislaufwirtschaft unterstützt. Falls in einem Bereich aber sinnvoll, sollen Ausnahmen gewährt 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
Without government action, little tends to happen in this area (e.g., extending warranty periods to a minimum of 5 years).
Ohne staatliche Massnahmen geschieht in diesem Bereich eher wenig (z.B. Verlängerung der Garantiefristen auf Minimum 5 Jahre).
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
Despite the increasing data transmission, the radiation can be further reduced due to the adaptive antennas.
Trotz der steigenden Datenübermittlung können dadurch die Strahlungen weiter reduziert werden, dies wegen den adaptiven Antennen.
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
In my view, this is a squeeze. SRF has a big job to do.
Dies ist aus meiner Sicht eine Zwängerei. SRF hat einen grossen Auftrag zu erfüllen.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This is an issue at the national level. However, this also has a difficult stand there, as the National Council and the Council of States have a different stance.
Dies ist auf nationaler Ebene ein Thema. Diese hat dort aber auch einen schwierigen Stand, da Nationalrat und Ständerat eine unterschiedliche Haltung haben.
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
Most federal expenditures are linked to federal laws that are eligible for referendum. Thus, this is not mandatory.
Die meisten Bundesausgaben sind an referendumsfähige Bundesgesetze geknüpft. Somit ist dies nicht zwingend nötig.
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
At the moment, according to the 2022 army census, the effective number of members in the army is 151,299. The army thus exceeds the required 140,000. The target number is set at 100,000. The situation could become more difficult. That is why a review is always useful. But at present, this would only be for stockpiling, which is not right.
Momentan beträgt der Effektivbestand der Armee gemäss der Armeeauszählung 2022 151'299 Angehörige. Die Armee übertrifft damit die erforderlichen 140'000. Der Sollbestand ist auf 100'000 festgelegt. Die Situation könnte schwieriger werden. Darum ist eine Überprüfung immer wieder sinnvoll. Aber zurzeit wäre dies nur auf Vorrat, was nicht richtig ist.
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
A selective cooperation is useful, e.g. for certain exercises. This does not mean joining.
Eine punktuelle Zusammenarbeit ist sinnvoll, z.B. für gewisse Übungen. Dies bedeutet kein Beitritt.
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
We have not only described neutrality in the constitution, but we have also given equal weight to international law. To insist only on our neutrality would not be right for me in a war of aggression that is not justified, as in the case of Ukraine, which must somehow defend itself.
Wir haben in der Verfassung nicht nur die Neutralität beschrieben, sondern auch das Völkerrecht gleich gewertet. Nur auf unsere Neutralität zu beharren, wäre für mich bei einem Angriffskrieg, der nicht gerechtfertigt ist wie bei der Ukraine, die sich irgendwie verteidigen müssen, nicht richtig.

Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Monitoring situations are only right in certain cases. It should not be prohibited, but the handling must be clearly defined.
Überwachungssituation sind nur in bestimmten Fällen richtig. Verboten soll es nicht werden, aber die Handhabung muss klar definiert sein.
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
With the Schengen cooperation, the participating states, and thus Switzerland, have in principle abolished checks on persons at internal borders and adopted compensatory measures to strengthen internal security. This cooperation and regulation is important for us and should not be abandoned.
Mit der Schengener Zusammenarbeit haben die teilnehmenden Staaten und somit die Schweiz die Personenkontrollen an den Binnengrenzen grundsätzlich aufgehoben und Ausgleichsmassnahmen zur Stärkung der inneren Sicherheit beschlossen. Diese Zusammenarbeit und Regelung ist für uns wichtig und soll nicht aufgegeben werden.
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
At the moment, our relationship is not easy. The fact that the framework agreement did not come about has brought us some disadvantages. Especially in research or in various other agreements we are at a standstill or better said, we are excluded. A conclusion in this dossier is therefore of great importance for us.
Momentan ist unsere Beziehung nicht einfach. Dass das Rahmenabkommen nicht zustande kam hat uns einige Nachteile erbracht. Insbesondere in der Forschung oder bei diversen weitere Abkommen stehen wir im Stillstand oder besser gesagt, sind wir ausgeschlossen. Einen Abschluss in diesem Dossier ist für uns somit von grosser Bedeutung.
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
Bilateral economic relations and possible selective agreements make more sense at the moment.
Bilaterale Wirtschaftsbeziehungen- und mögliche punktuelle Abkommen sind zurzeit sinnvoller.
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
This would have been the case with the corporate responsibility initiative, which I supported.
Dies wäre mit der Konzernverantwortungsinitiative, die ich unterstützt habe, so vorgesehen gewesen.
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
In a situation in which it is very clear who is the perpetrator and who is the victim, adherence to absolute neutrality is neither understandable nor correct.
In einer Situation, in der sehr klar ist, wer Täter und wer Opfer ist, ist das Festhalten an einer absoluten Neutralität nicht nachvollziehbar und richtig.

Progression has been introduced in taxes. People with fewer resources also receive premium reductions, for example. However, I would not necessarily call it compensation, but rather support for people who have it more difficult financially.

With young people, I would put this statement in the direction of "disagree". But to answer this question correctly, especially with adults, one would have to know the offense. A punishment needs it however, depending upon offense naturally a hard punishment. This can have quite an effect, and is also important for "victims". But the aspect of reintegration must not be neglected.
Bei jungen Menschen würde ich diese Aussage Richtung "nicht einverstanden" setzen. Doch um diese Frage gerade bei Erwachsenen richtig zu beantworten müsste man das Delikt kennen. Eine Bestrafung braucht es aber, je nach Delikt selbstverständlich eine harte Bestrafung. Diese kann schon einiges bewirken, und ist auch gegenüber "Opfern" wichtig. Der Aspekt der Wiedereingliederung darf aber nicht vernachlässigt werden.

I am convinced that the two can go hand in hand. The question is whether economic growth should always be at the center.
Ich bin überzeugt, beides wird Hand in Hand gehen können. Die Frage ist, ob das Wirtschaftswachstum immer im Zentrum stehen soll.

In 2022, we spent 0.56% of GDP on development aid. This has been increased in contrast to the past and is therefore more gratifying. In particular, this also has to do with Ukraine. To Ukraine, further funds will be necessary, this must not be done at the expense of further development aid.
2022 haben wir 0.56% des BIP an Entwicklungshilfe ausgegeben. Dies ist im Gegensatz zu früher erhöht worden und somit erfreulicher. Insbesondere hat dies auch mit der Ukraine zu tun. An die Ukraine werden weitere Mittel notwendig sein müssen, dies darf nicht auf Kosten der weiteren Entwicklungshilfe getätigt werden.
Comment
In the long term, this will certainly be an issue; however, so soon after the increase in the AHV age for women, it is not appropriate to demand this.
Langfristig wird dies sicher ein Thema sein; so kurz nach der Erhöhung des AHV-Alters für Frauen ist es jedoch nicht angebracht dies zu fordern.
