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
Particularly for families, health insurance premiums are sometimes too high a financial burden. Today, someone is eligible if the average health insurance premiums account for more than 17% of the household income. This rate should be progressively reduced to 10%.
Gerade für Familien sind die Krankenkassenprämien teilweise eine zu hohe finanzielle Belastung. Heute hat jemand Anspruch, sofern die durchschnittlichen Krankenkassenprämien mehr als 17 % des Haushaltseinkommens ausmachen. Dieser Satz sollte progressiv auf 10 % gesenkt werden.
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 existing ceiling is no longer in line with the times and disadvantages married couples in old age.
Die bestehende Plafonierung ist nicht mehr zeitgemäss und benachteiligt die Ehepaare im Alter.
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 reduction of the conversion rate is inevitable in the long run. However, new framework conditions such as the lowering of entry barriers (for part-time employees), the abolition of the coordination deduction and compensatory measures are mandatory for this.
Die Senkung des Umwandlungssatzes ist auf die Dauer unausweichlich. Zwingend dafür sind jedoch neue Rahmenbedingungen wie die Senkung der Einstiegshürden (für Teilzeitangestellte), die Streichung des Koordinationsabzugs und Ausgleichsmassnahmen.
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
This regulation is not in line with the times and does not serve the welfare of the child and the mother. It would make sense to extend parental leave to 26 weeks of maternity leave and four weeks of paternity leave. This would also cushion the period of maternity leave somewhat.
Diese Regelung ist nicht zeitgemäss und dient nicht dem Wohle des Kindes und der Mutter. Sinnvoll wäre, die Elternzeit auf 26 Wochen Mutterschafts- und vier Wochen Vaterschaftsurlaub auszubauen. Damit könnte auch die Zeit des Wochenbetts etwas abgefedert werden.
Further encourage the construction of social housing
Should the federal government provide more financial support for public housing construction? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The proven vaccinations of the existing vaccination schedule are important. However, parents should be able to decide for themselves, especially about new vaccinations that may be included in the vaccination schedule in the future.
Die bewährten Impfungen des bestehenden Impfplans sind wichtig. Jedoch sollten Eltern selber darüber entscheiden können, insbesondere über neue Impfungen, die allenfalls zukünftig im Impfplan aufgenommen werden.
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 CH sugar industry is subsidized. The abolition of subsidies would be a good first step, or if the sugar tax is effectively introduced, then on sweet drinks, for example.
Heute wird die CH-Zuckerindustrie subventioniert. Die Abschaffung der Subventionierung wäre ein guter erster Schritt oder bei einer effektiven Einführung der Zuckersteuer, dann beispielsweise auf Süssgetränke.
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
An increase would also affect financially weak persons who are dependent on the health care system. One option would be for these people to be able to claim the additional expenses in the event of an increase via the premium reduction.
Von einer Erhöhung wären auch finanziell schwache Personen betroffen, welche auf das Gesundheitswesen angewiesen sind. Eine Option wäre, dass diese Personen bei einer Erhöhung die Mehrausgaben auch über die Prämienverbilligung geltend machen könnten.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Cross-cantonal hospital planning could reduce costs in the health sector.
Durch eine kantonsübergreifende Spitalplanung könnten Kosten im Gesundheitssektor gesenkt 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
As long as there are enough resources for supervision and teaching, this makes sense and is good.
Solange genügend Ressourcen zur Betreuung und für den Unterricht bestehen, ist dies sinnvoll und gut.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
In terms of equal opportunities, this can be useful in certain cases. In principle, however, the school lessons should enable the children in such a way that no additional tutoring at home or externally is necessary.
Im Sinne der Chancengleichheit kann dies punktuell sinnvoll sein. Grundsätzlich soll jedoch der Schulunterricht die Kinder so befähigen, dass keine zusätzliche Nachhilfe zuhause oder extern notwendig ist.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
With a focus on the existing shortage of skilled workers in many industries, this would be a sensible solution. However, it is important to grant admission only according to need.
Mit Fokus auf den bestehenden Fachkräftemangel in vielen Branchen wäre dies eine sinnvolle Lösung. Wichtig ist jedoch, die Zulassung nur gemäss dem Bedarf zu erteilen.
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 should be carried out correctly according to the rule of law and those who have a correct reason for seeking asylum should also be granted asylum in Switzerland.
Asylgesuche sollen rechtstaatlich korrekt durchgeführt werden und wer einen korrekten Asylgrund hat, soll auch in der Schweiz Asyl erhalten.
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
Potential voters should be integrated in Switzerland and familiar with social life. This also applies at the communal level and is checked and ensured in the naturalization procedure. Therefore, naturalization is mandatory for the right to vote and to be elected.
Potentielle Wähler sollen in der Schweiz integriert und mit dem gesellschaftlichen Leben vertraut sein. Dies gilt auch auf der kommunalen Ebene und wird im Einbürgerungsverfahren geprüft und sichergestellt. Daher ist die Einbürgerung für das Stimm- und Wahlrecht zwingend.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
From a medical point of view, the use of cannabis can provide selective relief and help and is then also indicated. Otherwise, it is not beneficial for health and thus for society.
Aus medizinischer Sicht kann der Konsum von Cannabis punktuelle Erleichterung und Hilfe schaffen und ist dann auch angezeigt. Ansonsten ist es für die Gesundheit und somit für die Gesellschaft nicht förderlich.
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
At most for those persons who are neither clearly male nor clearly female biologically.
Allenfalls für die Personen, die biologisch weder klar männlich noch klar weiblich sind.
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
When it comes to children, the given nature should not be overridden. Otherwise, same-sex couples should have the same rights as heterosexual couples.
Wenn es um Kinder geht, soll die gegebene Natur nicht übersteuert werden. Ansonsten sollen gleichgeschlechtliche Paare die gleichen Rechte haben wie heterosexuelle Paare.
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
In view of the financial situation of the federal budget, this is not very effective.
In Anbetracht der finanziellen Situation des Bundeshaushalts ist dies wenig zielführend.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Complete individual taxation would in turn disadvantage various families in some cantons. In the event of a change in the tax system, it must be ensured that being married is neither an advantage nor a disadvantage from a tax point of view.
Eine vollständige Individualbesteuerung würde in einigen Kantonen wiederum diverse Familien benachteiligen. Bei einer Steuer-Systemumstellung muss abschliessend sichergestellt sein, dass es steuerlich weder ein Vor- noch ein Nachteil ist, verheiratet zu sein.
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
However, the threshold would rather have to be raised to two million francs.
Die Schwelle müsste jedoch eher auf zwei Millionen Franken erhöht werden.
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 the tax burden in the individual cantons are very large. A tightening of the fiscal equalization system could counteract this circumstance and bring the various tax rates somewhat into line with each other.
Die Unterschiede bei der Steuerbelastung in den einzelnen Kantonen sind sehr gross. Eine Verschärfung des Finanzausgleichs könnte diesem Umstand entgegenwirken und die verschiedenen Steuersätze einander etwas 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
Fair wages are important. However, it is to be feared that a valid minimum wage of CHF 4,000 increases the risk of unemployment for less qualified personnel or that such a wage cannot be paid by the company in some industries.
Faire Löhne sind wichtig. Es ist jedoch zu befürchten, dass ein gültiger Mindestlohn von CHF 4'000 das Arbeitslosigkeitsrisiko für wenig qualifiziertes Personal erhöht bzw. ein solcher Lohn in einigen Branchen durch den Betrieb nicht bezahlt werden kann.
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
I do not consider a general ban on bonuses to be correct, but the amount of the bonus should only be within a healthy range of the fixed income.
Ein generelles Bonusverbot erachte ich nicht als richtig, jedoch darf sich die Höhe des Bonus nur in einem gesunden Rahmen zum Fixeinkommen bewegen.
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
This can be useful in the area of the utilization rate.
Im Bereich der Ausnutzungsziffer kann dies sinnvoll sein.
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
Different pay for the same work is no longer appropriate and not right.
Unterschiedlicher Lohn für die gleiche Arbeit ist nicht mehr zeitgemäss und nicht richtig.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 progress of technology goes in this direction, but everyone should be able to decide for himself with which drive he wants to drive his car.
Der Fortschritt der Technik geht in diese Richtung, jedoch soll jeder selber entscheiden können, mit welchem Antrieb er sein Auto fahren möchte.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Certainly, pragmatic solutions are needed, but it is somewhat questionable whether decisions in favor of the environment in the form of renewable energy should really be made to the disadvantage of the same.
Sicherlich braucht es pragmatische Lösungen, ob aber zu Gunsten der Umwelt in Form von erneuerbarer Energie wirklich zu Ungunsten derselbigen entschieden werden soll, ist doch auch etwas fraglich.
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
Renewable energy is important. But a national and reliable power supply without nuclear power plants is rather unrealistic at the present time in justifiable effort.
Erneuerbare Energie ist wichtig. Aber eine landesinterne und zuverlässige Stromversorgung ohne Atomkraftwerke ist zum heutigen Zeitpunkt in vertretbarem Aufwand eher nicht realistisch.
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
I do not consider this approach to be conclusively fair (depending on the connection possibilities, e.g. to a district heating network, or in relation to household size). A bonus-malus system in relation to the household size would be more exciting.
Dieser Ansatz erachte ich nicht als abschliessend fair (je nach Anschlussmöglichkeiten z.B. an ein Fernwärmenetz oder in Bezug auf die Haushaltsgrösse). Spannender wäre ein Bonus-Malus-System in der Relation zur Haushaltsgrösse.
Nature conservation
Making provisions for the protection of large predators more flexible
Are you in favor of further relaxing the protection regulations for large predators (lynx, wolf, bear)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In principle, the use of toxic substances must be reduced, but the implementation must be designed in such a way that farmers can bear it.
Grundsätzlich gilt es den Einsatz von Giftstoffen zu reduzieren, allerdings muss die Umsetzung so ausgestaltet sein, dass Landwirte sie tragen können.
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
Animal welfare for the keeping of farm animals is important. Switzerland already has comprehensive regulations that are stricter and more detailed in many areas than the minimum standards in the EU directives.
Der Tierschutz für die Haltung von Nutztieren ist wichtig. Die Schweiz hat bereits jetzt umfassende Vorschriften, die in vielen Bereichen strenger und detaillierter sind als die Mindeststandards in den EU-Richtlinien.
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 protection of biodiversity is important and an increase should be strived for. However, the goal of reaching 30% of the country's land area by 2030 is not realistic and is partly at the expense of agriculture.
Die Sicherung der Biodiversität ist zwar wichtig und eine Steigerung soll angestrebt werden. Jedoch ist das gefasste Ziel, bis ins Jahr 2030 30 % der Landesfläche zu erreichen nicht realistisch und geht teilweise auch zu Lasten der Landwirtschaft.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Progressive digitization is important for Switzerland and our business location. At best, however, this can also be achieved in part with the expansion of a super-fast fiber-optic network.
Die fortschreitende Digitalisierung ist für die Schweiz und unseren Wirtschaftsstandort wichtig. Allenfalls kann dies teilweise aber auch mit dem Ausbau eines superschnellen Glasfasernetzes erreicht werden.
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
It is true that the "fourth estate" with good and factual journalism is important for a functioning democracy. However, this basic mandate is also possible with a reduced budget, since many non-mandatory projects and broadcasts are still financed today. Furthermore, it would be exciting to offer all offers not included in the basic mandate of journalism as "on-demand". In this way, everyone would only pay for what they actually consume.
Zwar ist für eine funktionierende Demokratie die "4. Gewalt" mit einem guten und sachlichen Journalismus wichtig. Jedoch ist dieser Grundauftrag auch mit einem reduzierten Budget möglich, da heute auch noch viele, nicht zwingende Projekte und Sendungen, finanziert werden. Weiter wäre es spannend, alle nicht im Grundauftrag des Journalismus enthaltenen Angebote als "on-Demand" anzubieten. So bezahlt jeder darüber hinaus nur das, was er auch wirklich konsumiert.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 previous target level is 100,000. The current effective level of 140,000 is above the new target level. However, an increase and thus a new determination of the target level makes sense in today's environment.
Der bisherige Sollbestand ist bei 100'000. Der aktuell effektive Bestand ist mit 140'000 über dem neu angestrebten Sollbestand. Eine Erhöhung und somit neue Festsetzung des Sollbestands ist jedoch in der heutigen Zeit sinnvoll.
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]

Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls
Should Switzerland terminate the Schengen agreement with the EU and reintroduce more security checks directly on the border? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The current situation is negative for Switzerland. Therefore, a functioning coexistence must be strived for on the bilateral path. However, accession to the EU is firmly rejected.
Die derzeitige Situation ist für die Schweiz negativ. Es muss daher auf dem bilateralen Weg ein funktionierendes Miteinander angestrebt werden. Ein Beitritt zur EU wird jedoch entschieden abgelehnt.
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
Agricultural products should be excluded from a free trade agreement.
Landwirtschaftliche Produkte sollen bei einem Freihandelsabkommen ausgenommen werden.
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
As far as this is reasonably possible.
Soweit dies sinnvoll möglich ist.
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 |

The statement is only correct if the political system functions, the separation of powers is respected and no group is given excessive power. In Switzerland, that is the case at the moment.

It is certainly optimal for children if they can spend a lot of time with their parents. However, this can also be ensured by part-time work of both parents

The opportunities are great. At the moment, however, individual global players have such a tremendous amount of power that there is enormous potential for abuse. And yet we cannot close ourselves off to progress.

| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |

Comment
Reintegration into society is important so that offenders do not relapse after serving a prison sentence, nor do they become dependent on social welfare, etc. Nevertheless, punishment is also an important part of our system.
Die Wiedereingliederung in die Gesellschaft ist wichtig, damit Täter nach verbüsster Haftstrafe weder rückfällig, noch abhängig von Sozialhilfe etc. werden. Nichtsdestotrotz ist die Bestrafung ebenfalls ein wichtiger Teil unseres Systems.
Stronger environmental protection

| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |

Comment
Economic growth at the expense of the environment will probably pass on more costs to future generations than environmental protection at the expense of the economy. However, this should still be in balance.
Wirtschaftswachstum zulasten der Umwelt wird wohl den kommenden Generationen mehr Kosten überwälzen als Umweltschutz zulasten der Wirtschaft. Dies sollte jedoch trotzdem in der Balance sein.

Comment
Raising the retirement age will be inevitable in the future. However, this is not appropriate so soon after the increase in the AHV age for women. In general, however, I support greater flexibility in this. Incentives should be created. Those who work longer will receive a higher pension. However, occupations with high physical intensity must be socially cushioned in the event of a reduction.
Die Erhöhung des Rentenalters wird für die Zukunft unausweichlich sein. So kurz nach der Erhöhung des AHV-Alters für Frauen ist dies aber nicht angebracht. Generell unterstütze ich jedoch darin eine grössere Flexibilisierung. Es sollen Anreize geschaffen werden. Wer länger arbeitet, erhält eine höhere Rente. Berufe mit hoher körperlicher Intensität müssen jedoch bei einer Kürzung sozial abgefedert werden.
