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
It would be better to streamline the structures; unnecessarily chasing away and acquiring new customers for the exact same service in basic insurance only costs money unnecessarily. This should be merged into a state fund.
Besser wäre eine Verschlankung der Strukturen, das unnötige Abjagen und Neuwerben von Kunden für die exakt gleiche Leistung in der Grundversicherung kostet nur unnötig Geld. Diese sollte in einer staatlichen Kasse zusammengeführt 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 compulsory, earned part of the AHV is to be paid out in full.
Der üblerobligatorische, erarbeitete Teil der AHV soll voll ausgezahlt werden.
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
Due to longer life expectancy, such fixed rates have to be advised. 6.8% corresponds to 14.5 years, this is reached the longer the more, which poses financial problems for the pension funds and questions the long-term health of the funds.
Durch die längere Lebenserwartung müssen solche fixen Sätze beraten werden. 6.8% entspricht 14.5 Jahren, dies wird je längers je mehr erreicht, was die Pensionskassen vor finanzielle Probleme stellt und die langfristige Gesundheit der Kassen in Frage stellt.
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
A parity-based parental leave is better. But 14+2 is a good start.
Besser ist eine paritätisch beziehbare Elternzeit. 14+2 ist aber ein guter Anfang.
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
Vaccination should be left to parents, but is highly recommended. More important would be a decent electronic patient journal with vaccination card attached. Wouldn't be the first time the ER wasn't sure when the last tetanus vaccination was given.
Impfen soll den Eltern überlassen werden, ist aber sehr zu empfehlen. Wichtiger wäre ein anständiges elektronisches Patientenjournal mit angehängtem Impfausweis. Wäre nicht das erste Mal, dass sich die Notaufnahme nicht sicher ist, wann die letzte Tetanus-Impfung erfolgt ist.
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
At present, an extremely large amount of sugar is added to a wide variety of foods completely unnecessarily. Likewise, a tax on artificial sweeteners is about to be introduced; these are mostly not only unnecessary, but also unhealthy.
Zur Zeit ist extrem viel Zucker in verschiedensten Nahrungsmitteln völlig unnötig zugesetzt. Ebenso soll gerade eine Steuer auf künstliche Süssstoffe eingeführt werden, diese sind meist nicht nur unnötig, sondern auch ungesund.
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
A big problem are the standard sizes of the medicines, many packets are much too big (e.g. 30 packets for 3 days with 3 tablets each).
Ein grosses Problem sind die Einheitsgrössen bei den Medikamenten, sehr viele Päckli sind viel zu gross (zB 30-Packung für 3 Tage à 3 Tabletten).
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
Actually worked well, would have been significantly worse if not decided in this immediacy. Worse are the applications of emergency law in recent times for many other purposes.
Hat eigentlich gut funktioniert, wäre deutlich schlimmer geworden, wenn nicht in dieser Unmittelbarkeit entschieden werden konnte. Schlimmer sind die Anwendungen des Notrechts in der letzten Zeit für viele andere Zwecke.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Many good students who could go into an apprenticeship now go into the Matura, either because of parental pressure or because the transfer is too easy. The Swiss dual education system, which is very permeable in the direction of academic education, has proven itself as long as the threshold for gymnasium education was high. The professions that need very good students but do not require a Matura (e.g. electronics technician, polymechanic) are thus running out of apprentices.
Viele gute Schüler, die in eine Lehre gehen könnten, gehen jetzt in die Maturität, sei es aufgrund elterlichen Druckes oder weil der Übertritt zu einfach geht. Das Schweizer duale Bildungssystem, das sehr durchlässig in Richtung akademische Bildung ist, hat sich solange bewährt, wie die Schwelle für die gymnasiale Bildung hoch war. Die Berufe, die sehr gute Schüler brauchen aber keine Maturität voraussetzen (zB Elektroniker, Polymechaniker), gehen so die Lehrlinge aus.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Naturalizations should be treated equally throughout Switzerland with standardized requirements, and financial requirements should also be low.
Einbürgerungen sollen mit standardisierten Anforderungen in der ganzen Schweiz gleich behandelt werden, ebenso sollen die finanziellen Anforderungen tief sein.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Naturalizations should be simplified but remain as a requirement for voting and election rights.
Einbürgerungen sollen vereinfacht werden, aber als Anforderung an Stimm- und Wahlrecht bestehen bleiben.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A large amount of crime could be avoided this way. If you compare cannabis with e.g. cocaine, crack, heroin or other extremely addictive substances, the resources of the police should be better concentrated on these areas.
Eine grosse Menge Kriminalität könnte so vermieden werden. Wenn man Cannabis mit zB Cocain, Crack, Heroin oder anderen, extrem süchtig machenden Stoffen vergleicht, sollten die Ressourcen der Polizei besser auf diese Bereiche konzentriert werden.
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
Just as the creation of life is voluntary (abortion, contraception, no means no), the ending of life should also be possible in free will.
So wie das Schaffen von Leben freiwillig ist (Abtreibung, Verhütung, Nein heisst Nein), so soll auch das Beenden vom Leben in freiem Willen möglich sein.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
If the federal government always has to take on new expenses, more money must be collected in return. What happens when the state is cut to the bone can be seen in southern Europe.
Wenn der Bund immer neue Ausgaben übernehmen muss, muss im Gegenzug auch mehr Geld eingenommen werden. Was passiert, wenn der Staat kaputtgespart wird, kann man im südlichen Europa sehen.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Location competition leads to increasingly divergent advantages and disadvantages for the cantons. The financially weak cantons lack the money to promote their locations, and the financially weak cantons can lower their taxes further and further, which forces the others to lower them as well. this creates a vicious circle that spins ever faster.
Standortwettbewerb führt zu immer weiter auseinanderhegenden Vor- und Nachteilen der Kantone. Den finanzschwachen Kantonen fehlt das Geld, um Standortförderung zu betreiben, die finanzschwachen Kantone können ihre Steuern immer weiter senken, was die anderen dazu zwingt, diese ebenfalls zu senken. so entsteht ein immer schneller drehender Teufelskreis.
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
Certain industries cannot afford these wages without far-reaching consequences.
Bestimmte Branchen können sich diese Löhne nicht leisten, ohne dass das weitreichende Folgen hat.
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
Regular bailouts of private institutions, with the long history this has, should finally be avoided with catchy measures.
Regelmässige Rettungen von privaten Institutionen sollten mit der langen Geschichte, die dies hat, endlich mit griffig Massnahmen vermieden werden.
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
Hourly prices should be much more important than the electricity provider. Liberalization will not bring much and, similar to the mandatory part of the health insurance, will only generate additional costs. If people still consume so much after-electricity, when solar power is already much cheaper and easier to produce, nothing will change. If the electricity turnaround is finally to take hold, the costs charged must reflect the production costs.
Viel wichtiger als der Stromanbieter sollten Stundenpreise sein. Eine Liberalisierung wird nicht viel bringen und ähnlich wie beim obligatorischen Teil der Krankenkasse nur Mehrkosten generieren. Wenn die Leute immer noch so viel Nachstrom verbrauchen, wenn schon jetzt Solarstrom deutlich günstiger und einfacher zu produzieren ist, wird sich nichts ändern. Wenn sich die Stromwende endlich durchsetzen soll, müssen die verrechneten Kosten die Produktionskosten abbilden.
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
Sensible zoning is more important and ultimately more purposeful.
Eine sinnvolle Einzonung ist wichtiger und schlussendlich zielführender.
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
For large companies, this certainly makes sense, but for small ones, the bureaucracy only gets bigger and bigger. With the AHV statement and the tax input, there should be a sufficiently large data basis to enable a decent control.
Bei grossen Firmen macht dies sicher Sinn, bei kleinen wird die Bürokratie nur immer grösser. Mit der AHV-Abrechnung und der Steuereingabe sollte eine genügend grosse Datengrundlage vorhanden sein, um eine anständige Kontrolle zu ermöglichen.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
More and more cars on the road will not solve our traffic problem as long as it is normal to commute through half of Switzerland and even more sitting alone in a car. Much more, working close to home should be rewarded, e.g. by the consequent abolition of commuter deductions.
Immer noch mehr Autos auf der Strasse wird unser Verkehrsproblem nicht lösen solange es normal ist, durch die halbe Schweiz zu pendeln und das am noch alleine im Auto sitzend. Viel mehr sollte nahes Arbeiten belohnt werden, zB durch die konsequente Abschaffung von Pendlerabzügen.
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
Where these are not practical, e.g. in rough terrain or far from the power grid, they should still be possible. For all others traveling on Switzerland's well-developed road network, such exceptions should be consistently rejected.
Da, wo diese nicht praktisch sind, zB in unwegsamen Gelände oder fernab vom Stromnetz, sollten diese immer noch möglich sein. Für alle anderen, die im gut ausgebauten Strassennetz der Schweiz unterwegs sind, sind solche Ausnahmen konsequent abzulehnen.
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
Some bans need to be phased in, but the excessive part should be solved through incentives.
Einige Verbote müssen schrittweise eingeführt werden, der übermässige Teil sollte aber über Anreize gelöst werden.
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
As long as a thorough balancing of interests is done, it should be possible to specifically suspend individual regulations.
Solange eine gründliche Interessensabwägung gemacht wird, sollte es möglich sein, einzelne Vorschriften gezielt auszusetzen.
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
Now, finally, there should be an end to this completely outdated, extremely expensive and dirty technology, which nevertheless uses finite resources and is in no way CO2-neutral. The effects on the environment are not foreseeable and the whole still for tens of thousands of years. Every attempt to build a new nuclear power plant in the last two decades ended either in the abandonment of the project or in a multi-billion-dollar grave with budgets that were exceeded by a factor of ten.
Jetzt sollte dann endlich Schluss sein mit dieser völlig überholten, extrem teuren und schmutzigen Technologie, die trotzdem endliche Ressourcen verwendet und in keiner Weise CO2-neutral ist. Die Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt sind nicht vorherzusehen und das ganze noch für zehntausende Jahre. Jeder Versuch, in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten ein neues AKW zu bauen, endete entweder in der Aufgabe des Projektes oder aber in einem Milliardengrab mit zT Faktor zehn überschrittenen Budgets.
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
It is better to link the electricity price to the actual price on the electricity exchange.
Besser ist eine Anbindung des Strompreises an den tatsächlichen Preis an der Strombörse.
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
It would be much more important to streamline the bureaucracy and control apparatus in the agricultural sector.
Viel wichtiger wäre eine Entschlackung der Bürokratie und des Kontrollapparates im landwirtschaftlichen Sektors.
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
The consumer is already free to buy the more expensive product with the increased requirements. Unfortunately, it is shown again and again that exactly this is not done, otherwise it can not be explained that still so many eggs from battery farming and vegetable food from ecologically questionable production is bought.
Der Konsument ist schon heute frei, das teurere Produkt mit dem erhöhten Anforderungen zu kaufen. Leider zeigt sich immer wieder, dass genau das nicht gemacht wird, anders ist es nicht zu erklären, dass immer noch so viele Eier aus Batteriehaltung und pflanzliche Lebensmittel aus ökologisch fragwürdiger Produktion gekauft wird.
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 integration of ecologically sensible compensation measures into normal production is clearly more important and in the end has a greater effect than trying to create large biotopes in such densely built-up Switzerland and excluding them from production.
Die Integration von ökologisch sinnvollen Ausgleichsmassnahmen in die normale Produktion ist deutlich wichtiger und hat am Schluss einen grösseren Effekt als in der so dicht bebauten Schweiz zu versuchen, grosse Biotope herzustellen und von der Produktion auszuschliessen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
That is a very important part is also the consistent use of open source software in the administration and in schools. The dependence on large American and Chinese software and hardware manufacturers with opaque client/server structures, countless software patents and unnecessarily complicated data formats is not good.
Das ist ein ganz wichtiger Teil ist auch der konsequente Einsatz von Open-Source-Software in der Verwaltung und in den Schulen. Die Äbhängigkeit von grossen amerikanischen und chinesischen Software- und Hardwareherstellern mit undurchsichtigen Client/Server-Strukturen, unzähligen Softwarepatenten und unnötig komplizierten Datenformaten ist nicht gut.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
An important part is the consistent use and creation of open source software and the documentation of data interfaces.
Ein wichtiger Teil ist die konsequente Nutung und Erstellung von Open-Source-Software und die Dokumentation von Datenschnittstellen.
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 |

Public information costs money, indiscriminately cutting revenue leads to cutting programming.
Öffentliche Information kostet Geld, das wahllose Einschränken der Einnahmen führt zum Zusammenstreichen des Programmes.

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?

Re-export of Swiss weapons

Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
The current deadlock is bad. If the EU finally realizes that parity of jurisdiction is needed, then all the rest can be negotiated and some concessions can be made.
Der jetzige Stillstand ist schlimm. Wenn die EU endlich einsieht, dass es eine paritätische Gerichtsbarkeit braucht, dann kann der ganze Rest verhandelt werden und es können auch einige Zugeständnisse gemacht werden.
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
The ecological requirements for production in the USA (incl. genetic engineering, patents on genome parts, use of pesticides that have been banned here for a long time, water/environment/animal protection) are so low that a free trade agreement undermines all efforts to make local agriculture more ecological.
Die ökologischen Anforderungen an die Produktion in den USA (inkl. Gentechnik, Patente auf Genomteile, Einsatz von hier schon lange verbotenen Pestiziden, Gewässer-/Umwelt-/Tierschutz) sind so tief, ein Freihandelsabkommen untergräbt alle Bestrebungen, die hiesige Landwirtschaft ökologischer zu gestallten.

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
Switzerland's passivity in dealing with the war in Ukraine is simply shameful. How neutral can you be when you are the world's raw materials hub, have hundreds of billions of money from war criminals in your accounts and are considered a vacation destination for oligarchs? Not only does Switzerland's image suffer, but it is increasingly incomprehensible how, under the guise of an interpretation of neutrality from a bygone century, effective measures are prevented.
Die Passivität der Schweiz im Umgang mit dem Krieg in der Ukraine ist einfach nur beschämend. Wie neutral kann man sein, wenn man die Rohstoffdrehscheibe der Welt ist, Hunderte von Milliarden Geld von Kriegsverbrechern auf den Konten hat und als Feriendestination von Oligarchen gilt? Nicht nur das Image der Schweiz leidet, auch ist es längers je mehr unverständlich, wie man unter dem Deckmantel einer Interpretation der Neutralität aus einem vergangenen Jahrhundert griffige Massnahmen verhindert.

The financing of the AHV should be ensured, be it with new sources or then with the increase of the retirement age. The AHV is one of our most important social institutions, a collapse must be avoided by all means. Life expectancy is rising steadily and working conditions in the professions have improved greatly in recent decades. However, a better transition to retirement is also mandatory, e.g. with a reduction in working hours before retirement.
Die Finanzierung der AHV sollte sichergestellt werden, sei dies mit neuen Quellen oder dann mit der Erhöhung des Rentenalters. Die AHV ist eine unserer wichtigsten sozialen Einrichtungen, ein Kollaps ist mit allen Mitteln zu vermeiden. Die Lebenserwartung steigt stetig und die Arbeitsbedingungen in den Berufen hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten sehr stark verbessert. Einen besseren Übergang in die Pension ist aber ebenfalls Pflicht, zB mit einer Reduktion der Arbeitszeit vor der Pension.
