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
Lors de sa session du mois de juin 2023, le Grand Conseil fribourgeois a débloqué une enveloppe supplémentaire de 5 millions de francs pour élargir le nombre de personnes pouvant bénéficier des subsides, raison pour laquelle ma réponse est plutôt négative. En cas d'inflation importante, je pourrais revoir ma réponse, étant précisé qu'en priorité des solutions devront être trouvées pour réduire les coûts de la santé dans sa globalité.
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
La pénalisation des couples mariés vis-à-vis des concubins est injuste.
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
La réduction du taux de conversion envisagée par la réforme de la LPP dans le domaine obligatoire de 6,8% à 6% n'est qu’un rapprochement de la réalité. En effet, le taux de conversion moyen en 2022 était de 5.43%. Par ailleurs, un taux de conversion trop élevé met en péril la capacité financière des caisses de pension.
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
Afin que les parents puissent mieux concilier vie de famille et vie professionnelle, il me semble nécessaire d'augmenter un peu la durée du congé maternité et/ou paternité (surtout en cas d'allaitement), étant précisé que nous venons d'accepter d'augmenter le congé paternité à deux semaines (entrée en vigueur le 1er janvier 2021).
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
J'accorde plus d'importance à un marché libre de l'immobilier afin que toute la population puisse bénéficier d'un logement à un prix abordable, en particulier la classe moyenne. Pour éviter une hausse des loyers, nous devons augmenter le nombre de logements disponibles sur le marché. Cela ne doit pas être fait toutefois au détriment des zones agricoles, mais par la densification dans les villes par l'augmentation de la hauteur maximale des logements par exemple.
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
Aucun vaccin n'est actuellement obligatoire en Suisse, mais l'OFSP recommande certains vaccins. Le système actuel fonctionne bien et ne doit par conséquent pas être changé. Il est à relever que la vaccination a permis de faire disparaître des maladies de la surface de la planète et permet de se protéger et de protéger les personnes qui ne peuvent pas se faire vacciner en raison de contre-indications.
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
Je ne pense pas que l'introduction d'une taxe résoudrait les problèmes de santé que peuvent provoquer la consommation d'une grande quantité de sucre. Avec l'inflation, les denrées alimentaires sont déjà chères. Je pense qu'il existe d'autres moyens plus efficaces pour sensibiliser la population aux effets indésirables du sucre, comme la promotion du sport et une alimentation saine.
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
Les personnes assurées paient déjà suffisamment de frais médicaux (entre l'assurance maladie et les frais médicaux non couverts), raison pour laquelle ma réponse est plutôt non. Si l'on se réfère à la proposition faite entre parenthèse, je pense qu'il s'agit d'une solution qui pourrait être envisageable, à condition de ne pas étrangler la classe moyenne.
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
A mon sens, le Conseil fédéral a bien géré la pandémie et nous avons bénéficié de plus de liberté que d'autres pays. Toutefois, il est important d'accorder une grande importance à la responsabilité personnelle. En outre, afin de mieux respecter la démocratie, il aurait été plus judicieux d'organiser des séances extraordinaires pour que les deux chambres fédérales soient consultées sur l'ordonnance covid (bien qu'il s'agissait d'une loi urgente, par principe non adoptée par le législatif).
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
Une planification hospitalière nationale pourrait potentiellement être plus efficace en terme de répartition des forces et de gestion des coûts. Je suis toutefois attachée aux soins de proximité et à ses avantages pour les citoyen-ne-s.
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
L'école intégrative a diverses avantages, comme l'apprentissage de la tolérance et du vivre ensemble. Toutefois, la gestion actuelle d'une classe de plus de 20 élèves avec des niveaux d'apprentissage différents est déjà très complexe à mon avis. L'intégration de ces enfants complexifierait davantage le travail des enseignant-e-s, raison pour laquelle je trouverais intéressant que tous les enfants soient dans le même bâtiment, mais dans des classes séparées pour tenir compte des besoins de chacun
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
Les exigences pour l'obtention de cette maturité sont déjà élevées. Nous avons toutefois de plus en plus de diplômés et des places d'apprentissage qui ne sont pas pourvues, alors que la formation duale est une force de notre pays. Nous devons renforcer l'attractivité de la formation duale à mon sens et ne pas durcir les conditions d'obtention d'un diplôme dans les formations supérieures qui sont déjà très exigeantes.
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
Les enfants issus de familles à faible revenu bénéficient déjà de l'égalité des chances par l'obtention d'une bourse d'études. Pour les élèves qui rencontrent des difficultés, je pense que des solutions existent déjà dans le cadre du système scolaire (cours d'appui par les enseignant-e-s en place ou cours extrascolaires dont les coûts sont peu élevés).
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
La naturalisation doit être le fruit d'une intégration réussie, notamment par la maitrise d'une langue nationale.
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
Nous avons effectivement besoin de personnel qualifié, mais le système actuel mis en place me semble bon, c'est-à-dire que si l'on démontre qu'il y a une pénurie de personnel dans un secteur, la personne que l'on souhaite engager peut venir en Suisse et obtenir un permis.
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
Oui, à condition que leurs droits soient respectés pendant la procédure.
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
Dans la mesure où elles pourraient demander la nationalité suisse, j'estime que ces droits doivent leur être accordés au niveau communal.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Je ne pense pas que ce serait un bon signal pour la jeune génération, bien qu'une légalisation permettrait de contrôler la qualité de la substance.
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
A condition que cela se fasse dans un cadre très strict (deux expertises similaires, questionnaires, consentement des proches...)
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Je répondrais plutôt non, bien que je puisse comprendre que certaines personnes puissent souffrir en ne se reconnaissant ni dans l'un, ni dans l'autre.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
En cas d'excédents importants, nous pourrions procéder à une baisse fiscale. Toutefois, la priorité doit être de stabiliser notre système de santé et l'AVS.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Oui, si cela mène effectivement à une égalité de traitement avec les concubins.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Si l'on prend en compte l'avis de la population, comme par exemple dans le cas des éoliennes.
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
Il ne faut pas se fermer la porte à toute nouvelle technologie qui permettrait une indépendance énergétique, à condition que la sécurité de la population soit garantie avant tout. A noter toutefois que la population a voté contre le nucléaire dans une votation fédérale, raison pour laquelle j'estime que le choix du peuple doit être suivi et que nous devons désormais se concentrer sur les énergies renouvelables.
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
Pour des raisons financières, je ne pense pas qu'il serait raisonnable de proposer un service public "complet" dans toutes les régions rurales. Nous devons trouver un juste milieux.
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
Non, les coûts de l'électricité ont déjà massivement augmenté et les premières touchées par cette mesure seraient les entreprises.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
