| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Pension fund pensions, especially those of women, part-time workers and low earners, are already too low today. The GREENS therefore reject the BVG reform and support the referendum to prevent it.
Die Pensionskassenrenten, v.a. diejenigen von Frauen, Teilzeitbeschäftigten und Geringverdiendenden, sind bereits heute zu tief. Die GRÜNEN lehnen die BVG-Reform darum ab und unterstützen das Referendum, um diese zu verhindern.
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
The GREENS demand parity paid parental leave of at least 18 weeks each. In addition, the GREENS want to introduce a three-week prenatal maternity leave.
Die GRÜNEN fordern eine paritätische bezahlte Elternzeit von mindestens je 18 Wochen. Zusätzlich wollen die GRÜNEN eine dreiwöchigen vorgeburtlichen Mutterschaftsurlaub einführen.
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
I have a positive attitude towards vaccinations and generally welcome the highest possible vaccination rate according to the official vaccination recommendations. However, the decision to be vaccinated or not should be made individually. Currently, there is (still) no reason to change this practice.
Ich stehe Impfungen positiv gegenüber und begrüsse grundsätzlich eine möglichst hohe Impfquote gemäss den offiziellen Impfempfehlungen. Der Entscheid, sich impfen zu lassen oder nicht, soll jedoch individuell gefällt werden. Aktuell gibt es (noch) keinen Grund, an dieser Praktik etwas zu ändern.
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
The sugar content of industrially produced beverages and foods can be reduced by various measures. In addition to a sugar tax, for example, limit values can also be used.
Der Zuckergehalt in industriell hergestellten Getränken und Nahrungsmitteln kann mit unterschiedlichen Massnahmen gesenkt werden. Neben einer Zuckersteuer z.B. auch mittels Grenzwerten.
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
Compared to the rest of Europe, the Swiss population already contributes a great deal to the costs.
Die Bevölkerung in der Schweiz beteiligt sich im europäischen Vergleich schon heute stark an den Kosten.
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 balance is needed between economic restrictions and the protection of health. However, the interests of the economy must not be placed above those of health. However, the involvement of parliament and the population should be expanded. In addition, there is a need for more legal protection for fundamental rights, specifically an abstract judicial review of emergency law - or even better a fundamental constitutional jurisdiction.
Es braucht eine Balance zwischen wirtschaftlichen Einschränkungen und dem Schutz der Gesundheit. Die Interessen der Wirtschaft dürfen aber nicht pauschal über diejenigen der Gesundheit gestellt werden. Der Einbezug von Parlament und der Bevölkerung soll jedoch ausgebaut werden. Zudem braucht es mehr juristischen Schutz für die Grundrechte, konkret eine abstrakte gerichtliche Normenkontrolle von Notrecht - oder noch besser eine grundsätzliche Verfassungsgerichtsbarkeit.
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
In hospital planning, a stronger intercantonal and national perspective is needed than is the case today, or mandatory cooperation. However, the federal government should not be solely responsible for this.
Bei der Spitalplanung braucht es eine stärkere interkantonale und nationale Perspektive als heute bzw. eine verpflichtende Zusammenarbeit. Der Bund soll dafür aber nicht allein zuständig sein.
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
However, the implementation of inclusive schools can only succeed with sufficient resources (teaching and socio-educational staff). E.g. with a strengthening of the school psychology service, with better working conditions for teachers, ....
Die Umsetzung der integrativen Schule kann aber nur mit genügend Ressourcen (Lehr- und sozialpädagogisches Personal) gelingen. Z.B. mit einer Stärkung des schulpsychologischen Dienstes, mit besseren Arbeitsbedingungen für Lehrpersonen, ....
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
The gymnasium baccalaureate should be implemented with the interdisciplinary topics of education for sustainable development, political education, digitalization, critical thinking and preparation for scientific thinking and work in accordance with the revision of the baccalaureate regulations. In particular, the admission requirements, the time of transfer and the duration should be harmonized. In this way, Matura certificates will be comparable between the cantons and injustices will be avoided.
Die gymnasiale Maturität soll mit den interdisziplinären Themen Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung, politische Bildung, Digitalisierung, kritisches Denken sowie Vorbereitung auf wissenschaftliches Denken und Arbeiten entsprechend der Revision des Maturitätsreglements umgesetzt werden. Insbesonderen solltendie Zulassungsbedingungen, der Zeitpunkt des Übertritts und die Dauer harmonisiert werden. So werden Maturitätszeugnisse zwischen den Kantonen vergleichbar und Ungerechtigkeiten vermieden.
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
Today, Switzerland has one of the strictest naturalization laws in Europe. A quarter of the population is excluded from co-determination, even though they live, work and pay taxes here - and the trend is rising. I therefore support the democracy initiative, which wants to lower the naturalization hurdles. Those who live here should have the right to naturalization, with fair and objective criteria. Integration is not a prerequisite for naturalization, rather it is a consequence of it.
Die Schweiz hat heute eines der strengsten Einbürgerungsgesetze in Europa. Ein Viertel der Bevölkerung ist von der Mitbestimmung ausgeschlossen, obwohl sie hier lebt, arbeitet und Steuern zahlt - Tendenz steigend. Ich unterstütze daher die Demokratie-Initiative, welche die Einbürgerungshürden senken möchte. Wer hier lebt, soll das Recht auf Einbürgerung haben, mit fairen und objektiven Kriterien. Integration ist keine Voraussetzung der Einbürgerung, vielmehr ist sie eine Folge davon.
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
This can partially solve the shortage of skilled workers. It is also essential to extend the quotas to less qualified professions so that, for example, all domestic workers can obtain a legal status.
Damit kann der Fachkräftemangel teilweise behoben werden. Auch eine Ausweitung der Kontingente auf weniger qualifizierte Berufe ist unerlässlich, damit z.B. alle Hausangestellten einen legalen Status erhalten.
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 |

Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The GREENS support the popular initiative for the introduction of individual taxation.
Die GRÜNEN unterstützen die Volksinitiative für die Einführung einer Individualbesteuerung.
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
In Switzerland, 90 billion francs are inherited almost tax-free every year. This gives a few people an unfair "starting advantage". I am therefore in favor of a national inheritance tax for the richest individuals.
In der Schweiz werden jährlich 90 Milliarden Franken fast steuerfrei vererbt. Dies verschafft wenigen Personen einen ungerechten "Startvorteil". Ich befürworte daher eine nationale Erbschaftssteuer für die reichsten Personen.
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 already richest cantons benefit the most from the latest decisions on corporate taxation. That is why they should contribute more to the fiscal equalization system, so that the differences in the financial strength of the cantons do not continue to grow.
Die bereits reichsten Kantone profitieren von den jüngsten Entscheiden zur Firmenbesteuerung am meisten. Darum sollen sie mehr in den Finanzausgleich leisten, damit die Unterschiede in der Finanzkraft der Kantone nicht ständig noch weiter anwächst.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
There is also a need for guidelines to ensure that the financial sector invests in climate protection and not further in the fossil fuel industry.
Es braucht zudem Vorgaben, damit der Finanzsektor in den Klimaschutz und nicht weiter in die fossile Industrie investiert.
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
No to full liberalization of the electricity market at the present time. First, the implementation of the energy transition must be ensured. This requires a nuclear phase-out with clear deadlines for old nuclear power plants and true costs (including climate costs) for electricity prices. Otherwise, there is a risk of a huge market advantage for dirty electricity.
Nein zur vollen Liberalisierung des Strommarktes zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt. Zuerst muss die Umsetzung der Energiewende sichergestellt werden. Dazu braucht es den Atomausstieg mit klaren Fristen für alte AKW und Kostenwahrheit (inkl. Klimakosten) bei den Strompreisen. Sonst droht ein riesiger Marktvorteil für dreckigen Strom.
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
Protective regulations are not to be relaxed. Higher utilization rates are to be permissible in the case of particularly ecological construction methods, e.g. climate-neutral and particularly resource-saving construction (circular construction).
Schutzvorschriften sollen nicht gelockert werden. Höhere Ausnutzungsziffern sollen zulässig sein, wenn bei besonders ökologischer Bauweise, z.B. klimaneutrales und besonders ressourcenschonendes Bauen (Zirkuläres Bauen).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Vehicles with combustion engines should no longer be registered even earlier. The year 2035 corresponds to the EU regulation.
Fahrzeuge mit Verbrennungsmotoren sollten schon früher nicht mehr zugelassen werden. Das Jahr 2035 entspricht der EU-Regelung.
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
What is needed is a mix of measures that are effective, socially acceptable and efficient and that also find acceptance. It is not an "either or", but a "both and". However, especially in environmental protection and nature conservation, bans and legal restrictions are a successful model (e.g. water protection, clean air regulations, ...). They are also fair, since they affect all people.
Es braucht einen Mix von Massnahmen, die wirksam, sozialverträglich und effizient sind und die auch Akzeptanz finden. Es ist kein "Entweder oder", sondern ein "Sowohl als auch". Gerade im Umwelt- und Naturschutz sind Verbote und gesetzliche Einschränkungen allerdings ein Erfolgsmodell (z.B. Gewässerschutz, Luftreinhalteordnungen, ...). Sie sind zudem fair, da sie alle Menschen betreffen.
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
Simplification of procedures is needed, but protection must not be weakened in the face of massive declines in biodiversity.
Es braucht eine Vereinfachung der Verfahren, aber der Schutz darf angesichts des massiven Rückgangs der Biodiversität nicht geschwächt werden.
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
Dealing with the radiating waste is still unresolved and should therefore not simply be left to future generations. Moreover, the actual costs for the construction, operation and eventual decommissioning of nuclear power plants are enormous. And finally, we see not only through the accidents in Chernobyl in 1986 and Fukushima in 2011, but also in the current Ukraine war, what immense dangers can emanate from nuclear power plants within war zones (Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant).
Der Umgang mit dem strahlenden Abfall ist noch immer ungelöst und sollte daher nicht einfach den kommenden Generationen überlassen werden. Zudem sind die tatsächlichen Kosten für den Bau, den Betrieb und für eine allfällige Stilllegung von AKWs enorm. Und letztlich sehen wir nicht nur durch die Unfälle in Tschernobyl 1986 und Fukushima 2011, sondern auch im aktuellen Ukraine-Krieg, welche immensen Gefahren von Atomkraftwerken innerhalb von Kriegsgebieten ausgehen können (AKW Saporischschja).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The reduction of disposable containers and their replacement with reusable systems is particularly important.
Wichtig ist vor allem der Reduktion von Einweg-Gebinden und der Ersatz mit Mehrweg-Systemen.
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
High-speed Internet access should be possible in Switzerland regardless of location. In addition to 5G, however, the expansion of the fiber-optic network is to be promoted in order to transport data efficiently and with low radiation. The expansion of the mobile network should not happen as quickly as possible, but in a well thought-out manner: Strategic planning will enable lower radiation exposure in line with the precautionary principle.
Der schnelle Zugang ins Internet soll in der Schweiz unabhängig vom Standort möglich sein. Nebst 5G soll aber vorallem der Ausbau des Glasfasernetzes gefördert werden, um Daten effizient und strahlungsarm zu transportieren. Der Ausbau den Mobilfunknetzes soll zudem nicht möglichst schnell, sondern durchdacht passieren: Eine strategische Planung ermöglicht eine tiefere Strahlenbelastung im Sinne des Vorsorgeprinzips.
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
Binding specifications and standards guarantee better cyber security and connectivity of different systems.
Verbindliche Vorgaben und Standards garantieren einen bessere Cybersicherheit und die Konnektivität verschiedener Systeme.
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
A strong, independent, modern news portal is enormously important for a democracy to provide information to the population.
Ein starkes, unabhängiges, modernes Nachrichtenportal ist für eine Demokratie zur Informationsbeschaffung der Bevölkerung enorm wichtig.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Strong political education in schools can better prepare students at vocational and cantonal schools of voting age 16 for their right to have a political say. Moreover, young people are also affected by the decisions of the voting population.
Durch eine starke politische Bildung in den Schulen können die Lernenden an den Berufs- und Kantonsschulen mit Stimmrechtsalter 16 besser auf ihr politisches Mitspracherecht vorbereitet werden. Zudem sind Jugendliche ebenfalls von den Entscheiden der Stimmbevölkerung betroffen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Parliament has the final responsibility in the budget process and must also exercise this responsibility. This also applies to supplementary credits that become necessary during the year. The instrument of the debt brake means that the federal government must always keep its spending within tight limits. A referendum would block the performance of tasks for months - also in the area of multi-year financial obligations.
Das Parlament hat die abschliessende Verantwortung im Budgetprozess und muss diese auch wahrnehmen. Das gilt ebenso bei Nachtragskrediten, die unter dem Jahr nötig werden. Das Instrument der Schuldenbremse bewirkt, dass der Bund seine Ausgaben immer im engen Rahmen halten muss. Mit einem Referendum würde die Aufgabenwahrnehmung über Monate blockiert – auch im Bereich mehrjähriger Finanzverpflichtungen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Switzerland's military neutrality is incompatible with expanded cooperation with NATO. Should a stronger cooperation with NATO be initiated, the question of neutrality must be discussed. I reject a kind of "cherry-picking", in which one only wants to take advantage of NATO without also participating financially and militarily.
Die militärische Neutralität der Schweiz ist unvereinbar mit einer ausgeweiterten Zusammenarbeit mit der NATO. Sollte eine stärkere Zusammenarbeit mit der NATO angestossen werden, muss über die Neutralitätsfrage diskutiert werden. Eine Art "Rosinenpickerei", in dem man nur die Vorteile der NATO nutzen möchte ohne sich auch finanziell und militärisch zu beteiligen, lehne ich ab.
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
The War Weapons Act prohibits such re-exports. At the beginning of 2023, the GREENS positioned themselves by a large majority against the re-export of Swiss weapons to third countries. Moreover, the extent to which neutral Switzerland must produce war weapons or parts thereof for export is a fundamental question that should be urgently discussed.
Das Kriegswaffengesetz verbietet eine solche Wiederausfuhr. Die GRÜNEN haben sich anfangs 2023 grossmehrheitlich gegen die Wiederausfuhr von Schweizer Waffen an Drittstaaten positioniert. Inwieweit die neutrale Schweiz Kriegswaffen oder Teile davon für den Export produzieren muss, ist zudem eine grundsätzliche Frage, die dringend diskutiert werden sollte.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
However, I am very critical of various aspects of the Schengen/Dublin agreements, including the rearmament of the EU's external borders to ward off refugees.
Ich bin ellerdings sehr kritisch gegenüber verschiedenen Aspekten der Schengen/Dublin Abkommen, u.a. die Aufrüstung an den EU-Aussengrenzen zur Flüchtlingsabwehr.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland is militarily neutral, but not politically neutral. Switzerland should position itself politically on the side of international law and also be able to take sanctions in the event of violations of international law.
Die Schweiz ist militärisch neutral, nicht aber politisch neutral. Die Schweiz soll sich politisch auf der Seite des Völkerrechts positionieren und bei Verstössen gegen das Völkerrecht auch Sanktionen ergreifen können.

AHV pensions should be increased in principle, not only for married couples. This is the only way to implement the mandate of the Federal Constitution for an adequate livelihood in old age for all. The Greens therefore support the popular initiative for the introduction of a 13th AHV pension as an important step.
Die AHV-Renten sollen grundsätzlich erhöht werden, nicht nur für Ehepaare. Nur so kann der Auftrag der Bundesverfassung für eine angemessene Existenzsicherung im Alter für alle umgesetzt werden. Die GRÜNEN unterstützen darum als wichtigen Schritt die Volksinitiative für die Einführung einer 13. AHV-Rente.
