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 savings process should take place at the same time as the AHV. In this way, a better result is achieved for pension recipients and the burden on pension funds is reduced.
Der Sparprozess sollte gleichzeitig mit der AHV erfolgen. So wird ein besseres Resulat für die Rentenbezüger erreicht und die Pensionskassen entlastet

Should paid parental leave be increased beyond today's 14 weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of paternity leave? [BePart question]

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
With the lack of family doctors, hospitals are increasingly burdened. The population should be encouraged not to seek medical services for every little thing.

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
Integration into the regular classroom must be set against the individual needs of the children. The teachers are not able to meet these demands sufficiently, even with the help of specialists.

Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

There needs to be a greater incentive for vocational training. We have too many high school graduates and too few apprentices. The vocational baccalaureate is a very good basic education.
Es braucht einen grösseren Anreiz für die Berufsbildung. Wir haben zuviele Maturanden und zuwenig Lernende. Die Berufsmatur bildet da eine sehr gute Grundbildung.
Equal opportunities in education

Make naturalization requirements more flexible
Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Citizens have a better connection to their country and can contribute to society. With our persistently low birth rate, a suitable instrument is needed so that Swiss citizenship, which is demanded at many levels, does not mutate into an exclusion clause for professional groups.
Bürger haben einen besseren Bezug zu ihrem Land und können sich in die Gesellschaft einbringen. Bei unserer anhaltend tiefen Geburtenrate braucht es ein passendes Instrument, damit uns das auf vielen Ebenen geforderte Schweizer Bürgerrecht nicht zur Ausschlussklausel für Berufsgruppen mutiert.

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
The dangerous journeys are taken away from the asylum seekers and the financing is withdrawn from the smugglers. Decisions should be made locally according to the laws of the destination country.
Den Asylsuchenden werden die gefährlichen Reisen abgenommen und den Schleppern die Finanzierung entzogen. Entscheide sollen vor Ort nach den Gesetzen des Ziellandes gefällt werden können.
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?

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

Are you in favor of further relaxing the protection regulations for large predators (lynx, wolf, bear)?

Large carnivores should be able to establish themselves in Switzerland and genetic exchange must remain possible. Protected alpine pastures only bring a positive effect if these products also find buyers in Switzerland.
Die Grossraubtiere sollen sich in der Schweiz etablieren können und der genetische Austausch muss möglich bleiben. Geschütze Alpweiden bringen nur einen positiven Effekt, wenn diese Produkte auch in der Schweiz Abnehmer finden.
