Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In the canton of Geneva, subsidies are already substantial.
Dans le canton de Genève, les subsides sont déjà importants.
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
It could, however, be increased.
Il pourrait cependant être augmenté.
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
Sustainable funding is needed to guarantee secure pensions over the long term. A reduction in the minimum rate is needed to halt the current unplanned redistribution in the 2nd pillar. In the 2nd pillar, each person contributes for himself or herself.
Un financement durable est nécessaire pour garantir des rentes sûres à long terme. Une baisse du taux minimal est nécessaire pour stopper la redistribution actuelle non prévue dans le 2e pilier. Dans le 2e pilier, chaque personne cotise pour elle-même.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

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 |

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
Freedom of choice when it comes to health insurance premiums must be developed. Those who wish to do so should be able to contribute more to costs. In return, more advantageous health insurance premiums can be offered.
La liberté de choix en matière de primes d'assurance maladie doit être développée. Ceux qui le souhaitent doivent pouvoir participer davantage aux coûts. En contrepartie, des primes d'assurance maladie plus avantageuses peuvent être proposées.

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
It is the responsibility of the cantons to collaborate better beyond their cantonal borders. These competencies must remain at cantonal level, and the Confederation has no role to play in the matter.
Il est de la responsabilité des cantons de mieux collaborer au-delà de leurs frontières cantonales. Ces compétences doivent rester au niveau cantonal et la Confédération n'a pas à intervenir en la matière.
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
In practice, this concept is very difficult to implement. Teachers are already overworked and often not sufficiently trained to meet the specific needs of their pupils.
Dans la pratique, ce concept est très difficile à mettre en place. Les enseignants sont déjà surchargés et souvent pas suffisamment formés pour répondre aux besoins spécifiques des élèves.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?

|---|---|---|---|

I'm afraid this will lead to systems that show little respect for applicants.

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
Wages and working conditions are regulated privately between employees and employers (social partnership). A liberal labor market is one of the cornerstones of our success model!
Les salaires et les conditions de travail sont réglés par le secteur privé entre les employés et les employeurs (partenariat social). Un marché du travail libéral est l'une des pierres angulaires de notre modèle de réussite !
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
We certainly need to adapt our legislation, but above all we need to make the managers of these establishments more accountable.
Il faut certainement adapter notre législation cependant il faut surtout responsabiliser les dirigeants de ces établissements.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It's important to keep up with EU developments in this area, and to adapt to new technologies.
Il est important de suivre l'évolution de l'UE en la matière et de s'adapter aux nouvelles technologies.

To achieve climate targets, should incentives and target agreements be relied on exclusively, rather than bans and restrictions?

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
You can't deny yourself anything. That said, it's not realistic in the short or medium term.
Il ne faut rien s'interdire. Cela étant, ce n'est pas réaliste à court et moyen terme.
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
Even in rural areas, the state must guarantee high-quality basic healthcare. The question is, what does "comprehensive" mean? Services must have a certain relationship to demand.
Même dans les régions rurales, l'État doit garantir des soins de base de bonne qualité. La question est de savoir ce que signifie "complet". Les prestations doivent avoir un certain rapport avec la demande.
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
Progressive electricity prices would accelerate deindustrialization and considerably weaken Switzerland, or increase dependence on foreign markets for certain products.
Des prix de l'électricité progressifs accéléreraient la désindustrialisation et affaibliraient considérablement la Suisse ou augmenteraient la dépendance de l'étranger pour certains produits.

| 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
The requirements for obtaining direct payments are already high today. Further restrictions would accelerate the disappearance of farms and reduce the rate of self-sufficiency. Switzerland has every interest in productive agriculture.
Les exigences pour l'obtention de paiements directs sont déjà élevées aujourd'hui. Une restriction supplémentaire accélérerait la disparition des fermes et réduirait le taux d'auto-approvisionnement. La Suisse a tout intérêt à ce que son agriculture soit productive.

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

Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?

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
Closer cooperation is necessary to guarantee Switzerland's security. On the other hand, NATO membership must be clearly rejected.
Le renforcement de la coopération est nécessaire pour garantir la sécurité de la Suisse. En revanche, une adhésion à l'OTAN doit être clairement rejetée.
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
Switzerland should not block arms re-exports to Western democracies as long as they have an export control system comparable to ours.
La Suisse ne doit pas bloquer les réexportations d'armes vers les démocraties occidentales tant qu'elles disposent d'un système de contrôle des exportations comparable au nôtre.

The Schengen/Dublin agreements increase and guarantee our security (thanks to the Schengen Information System) and ensure that Switzerland does not become too attractive to asylum seekers from the EU.

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
Neutrality must not be an end in itself, but must also be at the service of Switzerland's security and foreign policy.
La neutralité ne doit pas être une fin en soi, mais doit également être au service de la sécurité et la politique étrangère de la Suisse.

Comment
The aging of the population means that billions of Swiss francs will be needed to finance the AHV scheme in the years ahead. Moderately raising the retirement age or adjusting it to the length of working life are far better solutions than cutting benefits or raising VAT.
En raison du vieillissement de la population, il manquera des milliards de CHF pour financer l'AVS dans les années à venir. Augmenter l'âge de la retraite de manière modérée ou l'ajuster à la durée de la vie active sont de bien meilleures solutions qu'une réduction des prestations ou une augmentation de la TVA.
