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
Healthcare costs need to be reduced, as do drug prices, and the system needs to be optimized before it can be put on a drip.
Les coûts de la santé doivent être réduits, les prix des médicaments également, il y a lieu d'optimiser le système avant de le mettre sous perfusion.
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
Married couples whose income does not allow them to reach the maximum pension for married couples would not benefit from any improvement. The aim is to ensure that married couples and other low-income AHV insurees do not have to finance such benefit improvements for better-off married couples through higher AHV contributions or higher taxes.
Les couples mariés dont les revenus ne permettent pas d'atteindre la rente maximale pour couples mariés ne bénéficieraient d'aucune amélioration. Il s'agit donc d'éviter que les couples mariés et d'autres assurés AVS à bas revenu ne doivent financer, par des cotisations AVS plus élevées ou des hausses d'impôts, de telles améliorations de prestations pour les couples mariés mieux lotis.
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
The reform makes little provision for improving the situation of low-income earners or part-timers, many of whom are women. Yet this was the promise made to push through the increase in the retirement age for women.
La réforme ne prévoit guère d’améliorer la situation des bas-revenus ou temps-partiels, souvent des femmes. Or, c’était la promesse pour faire passer le relèvement de l’âge de la retraite des femmes.
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 Scandinavian model has proved its worth. In addition to 14 weeks' maternity leave, the Vert.e.s propose 14 weeks' parental leave to be shared within the couple (heterosexual or homosexual) in the year following the birth - of which at least 8 weeks should be taken by the mother's father or partner.
Le modèle scandinave a fait ses preuves. En plus du congé maternité de 14 semaines, les Vert.e.s proposons un congé parental également de 14 semaines à se partager au sein du couple (hétéro- ou homosexuel) dans l’année qui suit la naissance – dont au moins 8 semaines devraient être prises par le père ou la partenaire de la mère.
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
Yes, we must continue the indirect incentives for public housing construction and renew the special working capital program beyond 2025.
Oui, il faut poursuivre l'es encouragements indirects à la construction de logements d’utilité publique et renouveler le programme spécial du fond de roulement au-delà de 2025.
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 has made it possible to control and even eradicate certain diseases worldwide. But viruses and bacteria circulate constantly. Vaccines remain essential to protect those who receive them, as well as their families and friends. Vaccination can prevent some serious diseases and save lives. However, no vaccinations are compulsory in Switzerland, and parents must be able to choose whether or not to have their children vaccinated.
La vaccination a permis de contrôler voir d'éradiquer certaines maladies au niveau mondial. Mais virus et bactéries circulent en permanence. Les vaccins restent donc indispensables pour protéger les personnes qui les reçoivent, leur famille et leur entourage. La vaccination permet d’en éviter certaines, graves, et de sauver des vies. Toutefois aucun vaccin n’est obligatoire en Suisse, parents doivent pouvoir choisir s'ils souhaitent faire vacciner leur enfants
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
Around the world, some 80 countries have introduced sugar taxes, with different models. Switzerland should do the same, while preserving its sugar beet industry. However, sugar in food and beverages must be drastically reduced. It's a public health challenge, as the harmful effects on the body are many and far-reaching.
Dans le monde, près de 80 pays ont introduit une taxe sur le sucre, avec différents modèles. La Suisse devrait le faire aussi, tout en préservant sa filière betterave. Il faut toutefois réduire drastiquement le sucre dans les aliments et les boissons. C'est un défi de santé publique, tant les effets néfastes sur l'organisme sont mutliples et conséquents.
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
Not at all. What's more, the current per capita premium system massively disadvantages families and the lower and middle income classes. Switzerland is virtually the only European country that charges health insurance premiums for children, and does not calculate them on the basis of income and wealth. We need more solidarity in the healthcare system. Basic insurance benefits must not be reduced.
Non aucunement. Par ailleurs, le système de primes par tête actuel désavantage massivement les familles ainsi que les classes à bas et moyen revenu. La Suisse est quasiment le seul pays européen qui prélève des primes d’assurance-maladie pour les enfants et qui ne calcule pas celles-ci sur la base du revenu et de la fortune. Nous avons besoin de plus de solidarité dans le système de santé. Les prestations de l’assurance de base ne doivent pas être diminué.
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
No, on the other hand, we need to ensure that the opinions of legislators and other stakeholders are better taken into account in the event of a crisis.
Non, par contre, il faut veiller à une meilleure prise en considération de l'avis du législatif et des acteurs impactés en cas de crise.
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
Efficient planning of the healthcare system can be achieved through better inter-cantonal coordination.
La planification efficiente du système de santé peut être obtenue par une meilleure coordination intercantonale.
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
Cases of ASD (autism spectrum disorders) are on the increase. Unfortunately, not all children with ASD can be taught by a specialist in standard classes (model 360° in the canton of Vaud). The model of integration classes, where children in specialized education can join standard classes for certain subjects during the week, is to be supported.
Les cas de TSA (troubles du spectre autistiques) sont en augmentation. Dès lors, tous les élèves concernés ne peuvent malheureusement pas être suivis par un.e spécialiste dans les classe standart (modèle 360° vaudois). Le modèle des classes d'intégration, où les enfants qui suivent un enseignement spécialisé peuvent, pour certaines disciplines durant la semaine, rejoindre des classes standarts est à soutenir.
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
On June 28, 2023, the Swiss Federal Council decided that, from 2038 onwards, all Swiss cantons would have a 4-year "maturité gymnasiale". It is therefore essential to support the dual apprenticeship system.
Depuis le 28 juin 2023, le CF a décidé que la maturité gymnasiale serait de 4 ans pour tous les cantons suisses dès 2038. Il est par ailleure essentiel de soutenir les système dual d'apprentissage.
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
Preventing and combating poverty has been a federal policy priority for many years. It is important not only to combat poverty, but also social exclusion, on a socio-economic level, for people from immigrant backgrounds, and equal opportunities for men and women.
La prévention et la lutte contre la pauvreté figurent au nombre des priorités de la politique fédérale depuis de nombreuses années. Il est important de lutter contre la pauvreté mais aussi l’exclusion sociale, sur le plan socio-économique, pour les personnes issues de milieux d’immigrés, égalité des chances entre les sexes.
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
A quarter of the Swiss population lives here, surrounded by friends, works and pays taxes... has a family but no Swiss passport. It's time to recognize these people as full-fledged members of our society and treat them as equals. Anyone who has lived legally in Switzerland for 5 years should be eligible for naturalization if they meet specific criteria.
Un quart de la population suisse habite ici entourée d’ami-e-s, y travaille et paie des impôts… a une famille mais pas de passeport suisse. Il est temps de reconnaître ces personnes comme membres à part entière de notre société et de les traiter sur un pied d’égalité. Si elle remplit des critères concrets, toute personne vivant légalement en Suisse depuis 5 ans doit avoir droit à la naturalisation.
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
Train highly qualified people and then send them back, even if they offer exactly what the local economy needs? It just doesn't make sense. The Swiss National Council and the European Economic and Social Committee adopted by a large majority motion 17.3067 "If Switzerland pays for the expensive training of specialists, they should also be able to work here". We need to reflect on the role of immigration from third countries in a changing society.
Former des personnes hautement qualifiées puis les renvoyer, même si elles offrent exactement ce dont l’économie locale a besoin? Cela n’a aucun sens. Le CN et le CE ont adopté à une large majorité la motion 17.3067 «Si la Suisse paie la formation coûteuse de spécialistes, ils doivent aussi pouvoir travailler ici». Une réflexion doit avoir lieu sur le rôle de l’immigration en provenance des Etats tiers dans une société en évolution.
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
It is preferable to reintroduce the filing of asylum applications at embassies or consulates, and allow people in danger to come to Switzerland. Exile caused by global warming and persecution on grounds of gender or sexual orientation should also be recognized as grounds for asylum.
Il est préférable de réintroduire le dépôt de demandes d’asile en ambassade ou en consulat et permettre aux personnes en danger de venir en Suisse. IL faut par ailleurs reconnaître l’exil causé par le réchauffement climatique et la persécution en raison du genre ou de l’orientation sexuelle comme des motifs donnant droit à l’asile.
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
We need to go further: any foreigner of legal age who has lived in Switzerland for ten years and three years should have the right to vote, to be elected and to sign an initiative or referendum at cantonal level. In August 2023, the Agissons committee filed an initiative in the canton of Vaud.
Il faut aller plus loin: tout majeur étranger domicilié depuis dix ans en Suisse et trois ans devrait disposer du droit de voter, d’être élu et de signer une initiative ou un référendum au niveau cantonal. L'initiative du comité Agissons a déposé, en août 2023, une initiative dans le canton de Vaud.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We need a state-controlled cannabis market. Regulating the market would dry up the black market and control the quality of these products, which are consumed in many different ways. Our laws on the subject are obsolete.
Il faut un marché du cannabis contrôlé par l’Etat. Réguler le marché permettrait d’assécher le marché noir et de contrôler la qualité de ces produits, qui se consomment de beaucoup de manières différentes. Nos lois sur la question sont obsolètes.
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
Direct active euthanasia - in which the physician or a third party intentionally injects the patient with a drug that directly causes death, with the aim of shortening the patient's suffering - is prohibited. On the other hand, indirect active euthanasia, passive euthanasia and assisted suicide are permitted.
L’euthanasie active directe – le médecin ou un tiers fait intentionnellement au patient une injection qui entraîne directement sa mort dans le but d’abréger ses souffrances – est interdite. En revanche, l’euthanasie active indirecte et l’euthanasie passive tout comme l'assistance au suicide sont admises.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Non-binary people must be given a place. In May 2023, a National Council committee accepted a text by Arlan Sybel, a Basel Green, calling for the study of administrative developments for non-binary and transgender people. This is already being done in other countries, such as Germany and Portugal.
Il faut donner une place aux personnes non binaires. Une commission du National a accepté, en mai 2023, un texte d'Arlan Sybel, verte bâloise, réclamant d’étudier des évolutions dans l’administration pour les personnes non binaires et transgenres. Cela se fait déjà dans d’autres pays, comme en Allemagne et au Portugal.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Following the adoption of marriage for all, I'm in favor of equal parental rights for same-sex couples, effective protection against discrimination and a desire to raise awareness of different lifestyles.
Suite à l'adoption du mariage pour tous, je suis favorable aux mêmes droits de parentalité pour les couples homosexuels, à une protection efficace contre les discriminations et souhaite sensibiliser la population aux différents modes de vie.
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
I am opposed to any offensive aimed at dismantling Switzerland's tax system, which is one of the foundations of our high-performance, innovative and supportive system.
Je suis contre toute offensive visant à démenteler le système d'impôt en Suisse, qui est une des bases de notre système performant, innovant et solidaire.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
For egalitarian as well as economic reasons, I approve of individual taxation, as it improves the financial autonomy and social coverage of the 2nd income earner - generally the woman - with the consequence of encouraging her in the medium term to work more in her profession, and thus to some extent counteract the shortage of skilled labor. However, care must be taken not to reduce tax revenues too much.
Pour des raisons tant égalitaires qu’économiques, j'approuve l’imposition individuelle, car elle améliore l’autonomie financière et la couverture sociale du 2e revenu – en général la femme – avec pour conséquence de l’inciter à moyen terme à exercer davantage sa profession et ainsi à parer dans une certaine mesure à la pénurie de main d’œuvre qualifiée. Il faut cependant veiller à ne pas trop diminuer les recettes fiscales.
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
The 1 million franc threshold is too low. The cantons already apply this type of tax. I'd be in favor of higher thresholds.
Le seuil de 1mio de francs est trop bas. Les cantons pratiquent déjà ce type d'impôt. J'y serai favorable pour des seuils plus élevés.
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
Closing the economic and structural disparities between the cantons is one of the pillars of federalism and one of the main elements of cohesion in today's country. The Confederation plans to increase the minimum endowment to 86.5% of the Swiss average and enshrine it in law - something the Greens have always supported. The current system is well adapted to demographic trends in particular.
Combler les disparités d’ordre économique et structurel entre les cantons est aujourd’hui l’un des piliers du fédéralisme et l’un des principaux éléments de cohésion du pays. La Confédération prévoit d'augmenter la dotation minimale à 86.5% de le moyenne suisse et de l'inscire dans la loi - ce que les Vert.e.s ont toujours soutenu. Le système actuel est bien adapté à l'évolution démographique notamment.
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
I support better protection for low-wage earners in Switzerland. This makes a significant contribution to strengthening social cohesion and reducing wage disparities, and in particular to better protecting women, who are more often than not the victims of economic exploitation. Women are more affected by poor pay conditions.
Je soutiens une meilleure protection des bas salaires en Suisse. Cela contribue de manière non négligeable à renforcer la cohésion sociale et à réduire les écarts salariaux et notamment de mieux protéger les femmes, le plus souvent victimes de l’exploitation économique. Les femmes sont en effet plus touchées par les mauvaises conditions salariales.
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
The Swiss financial center must be a global benchmark for sustainable financial services. Crédit Suisse's drift shows that stricter regulations are needed. New rules of the game are really needed to control the systemic, cultural and climatic risks of the financial center. We need a differentiated banking system, concrete political measures against irresponsibility and clear sustainability requirements.
La place financière suisse doit être une référence mondiale en matière de services financiers durable. La dérive de Crédit Suisse montre qu'il faut des règlementations plus strictes. De nouvelles règles du jeu sont vraiment nécessaires pour maîtriser les risques systémiques, culturels et climatiques de la place financière. Il faut un système bancaire différencié, des mesures politiques concrètes contre l’irresponsabilité et pour des exigences claires en matière de durabilité.
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
First, we need to ensure the energy turnaround, before asking ourselves whether we can open up the electricity market completely. This liberalization, long opposed by the left and regularly criticized, has recently shown its deleterious effects, with a massive rise in energy prices that is putting many companies and their employees in great difficulty, as well as certain municipalities and (para)public entities that had opted for the free market strategy.
Il faut d’abord assurer le tournant énergétique, avant de se demander si on peut ouvrir complètement le marché de l’électricité. Cette libéralisation, combattue de longue date par la gauche et régulièrement décriée, a récemment montré ses effets délétères, avec une hausse massive des prix de l’énergie qui met en grande difficulté de nombreuses entreprises ainsi que leurs employés mais également certaines communes et entités (para)publiques qui avaient choisi la stratégie du marché libre.
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
But you need flexibility. ürich practices Arealüberbaung. These are special regulations designed to promote densification by authorizing a higher land use index, in return for meeting more stringent requirements, for example in terms of biodiversity. This leaves the authorities a great deal of discretion, subject to a series of defined conditions.
Mais il faut de la flexibilité. ürich pratique l'Arealüberbaung. Il s'agit de pescriptions spéciales permettant de promouvoir la densification en autorisant un indice d’utilisation du sol accru, avec la contrepartie, de remplir des exigences accrues, par exemple pour l'aménagement de la biodiversité. Cela laisse aux autorités une très grande liberté d’appréciation, moyennant des toute une série de conditions définies.
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
The 2020 amendment to the LeG lays down the criteria for equal pay analyses carried out by employers with at least 100 employees. These must have performed, using Logib software. The 2018 salary structure survey shows that the unexplained portion of the gender pay gap is smaller in large companies than in small ones. Wage gap calculations must be made possible for medium-sized and small companies.
La modification de la LeG de 2020 fixe les critères de l'analyse de l'égalité des salaires faite par les employeurs d'au moins 100 travailleurs. Ceux-ci doivent avoir exécuté, au moyen du logiciel Logib. L'enquête sur la structure des salaires de 2018 montre que la part inexpliquée de l'écart salarial entre femmes et hommes est plus faible dans les grandes entreprises que dans les petites. Il faut rendre possible le calcul des écarts salariaux pour les moyennes et petites entreprises.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Agglomeration programs must better support local public transport and soft mobility, while integrating the landscape. On the other hand, I am opposed to the construction of any new freeways.
Les programmes d'agglomérations doivent mieux soutenir les transports publics de proximité et la mobilité douce, tout en intégrant le paysage. Je m'oppose par contre à toute construction de nouvelles autoroutes.
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
Setting a precise date for the ban on combustion engines also provides planning certainty for consumers and the Swiss automotive sector. The 2035 deadline gives the automotive industry sufficient time to prepare for the transition and change its equipment. However, the environmental impact of electric vehicles is not satisfactory. We must bear this in mind.
Définir une date précise pour l'interdiction des moteurs à combustion offre en outre une sécurité de planification aux consommateurs et au secteur automobile suisse. L'échéance de 2035 donne suffisamment de temps à l'industrie automobile pour préparer la transition et changer ses équipements. Cependant, les impacts environnementaux des véhicules électriques ne sont pas satisfaisants. Il faut l'avoir à l'esprit.
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
We need to invest in the energy transition, with massive planning and investment, as well as incentives. Targets to achieve this are defined by legislative frameworks, particularly those of the cantons (e.g. recent frameworks Ct. VD + GE). Financing does not fall from the sky, and partnerships on models such as Inergia, based on loans at preferential rates from pension funds. We also need to encourage local electricity production, as stipulated in art. 17 of the LEne.
Il faut investir dans la transition énergétique, avec une planification et des investissements massifs, tout comme des incitations. Les objectifs pour y parvenir sont définis par les cadres législatifs, en particulier des cantons (par ex. récents cadres Ct. VD + GE) Les financements ne tombent pas du ciel et des partenariats sur des modèles tels qu'Inergia, basé sur des prêts à taux préférentiels des caisses de pension. Il faut aussi favoriser les productions d'électr.locales, art.17 de la LEne
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
Installing solar panels on existing infrastructure is more than enough to offset our energy consumption. Our country's last unspoilt landscapes must not bear the brunt of the climate and energy crisis! Biodiversity has been in serious decline for decades. Without it, humans cannot survive (food production, disease, etc.). Solving the climate and energy crisis by further destroying biodiversity makes no sense at all.
Mettre des panneaux solaires sur les infrastructures existantes suffit largement pour combler notre consommation énergétique. Les derniers paysages intacts de notre pays ne doivent pas faire les frais de la crise climatique et énergétique ! L’effondrement de la biodiversité est gravissime depuis des décennies. Sans elle l’humain ne peut pas survire (production alimentaire, maladie, etc.). Résoudre la crise climatique et énergétique en détruisant encore plus la biodiversité est un non-sens.
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
Nuclear power plants are an obstacle to the energy transition. We need a programmed phase-out with a final shutdown date for Switzerland's nuclear power plants. In this realistic scenario, almost 2/3 of Switzerland's nuclear power plants would be shut down by early 2030. It should also be remembered that energy independence is not guaranteed, since uranium is also imported.
Les centrales nucléaires sont un obstacle à la transition énergétique. Il faut une sortie programmée avec au final une date d’arrêt des centrales nucléaires suisses. Avec ce scénario réaliste, près des 2/3 du parc nucléaire sera éteint début 2030. Il faut par ailleursrappeler que l'indépendance énergétique n'est pas garantie puisque l'uranium est aussi importé.
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
Everyone must have easy access to a wide range of services. The state must ensure that it provides and guarantees services for everyone throughout the country. Alternative solutions can be found to optimize and centralize the provision of public services in rural and mountain areas. We also need to reduce the digital divide, so that the elderly can remain independent.
Tout un chacun doit pouvoir accéder facilement à de nombreux serives. L'état doit veiller à fournir et garantir des prestations pour toutes et tous sur l'ensemble du territoire. Des solutions alternatives peuvent être trouvées pour optimiser, centraliser l'offre de service public dans les régions rurales et de montagne. Il faut aussi veiller à réduire la fracture numérique pour que les populations âgées puissent rester autonomes.
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
The "polluter pays" principle can be applied in this area. However, certain economic sectors, such as bakeries, could be affected. Special conditions would therefore be necessary for certain branches. I'm not completely convinced.
Le principe du pollueur-payeur peut s'appliquer dans ce domaine. Cependant certaines branches économiques pourraient être impactées, comme les artisans boulangers. Des conditions particulières seraient dès lors nécessaires pour certaines branches. Je ne suis pas complétement convaincue.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Solutions need to be found quickly to ease the tension caused by the wolf's rapid evolution. Temporary regulation solutions could be discussed, rather than the species being regulated by poaching. Responsibility for this cohabitation must not rest solely with the farming community, which is already under pressure.
Il est nécessaire de trouver rapidement des solutions pour appaiser les tensions liées à l'évolution rapide du loup. Des solutions temporaires de régulation pourraient éventuellement être discutées plutôt que l'espèce soit régulée par le braconage. La responsabilité de cette cohabitation ne doit pas reposer que sur le monde agricole qui est déjà sous pression.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I'm in favor of direct payments that encourage practices that respect the environment and animals, and contribute to sustainable, quality-oriented agriculture. To be able to play this role, farms need to meet environmental objectives with fewer regulations and less red tape. They must also be accompanied by criteria guaranteeing social justice and solidarity within the farming community.
Je suis partisane des paiements directs qui encouragent des pratiques respectueuses de l’environnement et des animaux et contribuent à une agriculture durable misant sur la qualité. Pour pouvoir jouer ce rôle, ils il faut que les exploitations remplissent les objectifs environnementaux avec moins de réglementations et moins de charges administratives. Il faut aussi s’accompagner de critères garantissant la justice sociale et la solidarité au sein de la communauté agricole.
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
Farm animals are still not sufficiently protected from suffering. Consumers expect animal welfare to be improved in livestock farming. This will benefit both animals and the environment.
Les animaux de rente ne sont toujours pas suffisamment protégés contre la souffrance. Les consommatrices et consommateurs attendent que le bien-être des animaux soit amélioré dans l’élevage d’animaux de rente. Tans les animaux que l’environnement en profiteront.
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
As a signatory to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), Switzerland is committed to the new Montreal-Kunnming agreements, which aim to preserve 30% of its territory by 2030. The ecological infrastructure planning of the Swiss Biodiversity Action Plan, and the revisions to the LPN currently under discussion, should enable us to achieve this in legislative terms. Implementation will require the support of the cantons, the economy, landowners and the general public.
En signant la Convention sur la diversité biologique (CDB), la Suisse est engangée à suivre les nouveaux accords Montréal-Kunnming qui visent à préserver 30% des territoires d'ici à 2030. La planification de l'infrasrtucture écologique du plan d'action biodiversité suisse ainsi que les révisions de la LPN en discussions, devraient permettre d'y parvenir sur le plan législatif. La mise en oeuvre nécessiterai l'appui des cantons, de l'économie, des propriétaires de bien-fond et de la population.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

Single-use plastic is a real scourge for the environment and for people's health. These micro-plastics end up in compost, not only in our soil but also in our food.
Le plastique à usage unique, est un véritable fléau pour l'environnement ainsi que pour la santé de la population. Ces micro-plastiques sont ensuite présents dans les composts et finissent dans nos sols mais aussi dans nos aliments.
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]

We need materials that can be recycled and upgraded, as well as products that are durable and repairable. At 700 kg per person per year, the Swiss hold the sad European record for waste production.
Nous avons besoin de matériaux recyclables et revalorisables, mais aussi de produits durables et réparables. Avec 700 kg par personne et par an, les Suisses détiennent le triste record européen de la production de déchets.
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
The massive rollout of 5G is worrying a growing section of the population, and rightly so. Our society is experiencing the paradox of increasing digitization and connectivity and the desire to protect ourselves from the harmful effects of non-ionizing radiation, which seems difficult to reconcile
Le déploiement massif de la 5G inquiète une partie croissante de population, à juste titre. Notre société vit le paradoxe d'une numérisation et une connectivité croissante et la volonté de se préserver des effets nocifs des rayonnements non ionisants, ce qui semble difficilement conciliable
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
With the spread of new technologies, society's needs and demands on public administration have evolved. The current system lacks inertia, efficiency and coordination, and decision-making processes are too slow.
Les besoins ou exigences de la société vis-à-vis de l’administration publique ont évolué, avec la diffusion des nouvelles technologies. Le système actuel manque d'inertopérabilité, d'efficacité, de coordination, les processus de décision sont trop lents.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, especially at a time when artificial intelligence is booming. We also need to look under the hood of the very large online platforms and search engines to see how their algorithms work and contribute to the dissemination of illegal and harmful content.
Oui, en particulier au moment ou l'intelligence artificielle est en plein essor. Il faut aussi regarder sous "le capot" des très grandes plateformes en ligne et des très grands moteurs de recherche en ligne pour voir comment leurs algorithmes fonctionnent et contribuent à la diffusion de contenus illicites et préjudiciables.
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 |

This would have an impact of 800 million per year, reduce the impact of the SSR SSG in Switzerland, which produces content in the public interest that is essential to our democracy, involve job cuts, particularly in the canton of Vaud, and nullify the implementation of the Netflix lex, which supports not only cinema but also the production of local culture and identity. It must be stressed, however, that the licence fee is high in an inflationary context.
Cela aurait un impact de 800 mio par an, diminuerait l'impact de la SSR SSG en Suisse qui produit des contenus d'intérêt public essentiel pour notre démocratie, impliquerait la réduction d'emlois, en particulier dans le canton de Vaud, réduirait à néant la mise en œuvre de la lex Netflix qui soutient le cinéma mais aussi la production d'une culture et mode de identité locale. Il faut toutefois souligner que la redevance est élevée dans un contexte inflationniste.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Democracy needs to modernize and allow young people to have their say. Today, young people between the ages of 16 and 18 do not participate actively enough in civic life. The Greens are pioneers in this field.
La démocratie doit se moderniser et permettre aux jeunes de donner leur avis. Aujourd'hui, les jeunes entre 16 et 18 ans ne participe pas assez activement à la vie civique. Les Vert.e.s sont pionniers dans cette participation.
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
Introducing a financial referendum at federal level would strengthen the people's right to be consulted on budgetary issues. Increased direct public participation would, however, have negative consequences for expenditure management. Spending decisions would be delayed, and both Parliament and the Federal Council would lose budgetary flexibility.
Introduire un référendum financier sur le plan fédéral renforcerait le droit du peuple d'être consulté sur les questions budgétaires. Une participation directe accrue de la population aurait cependant des conséquences négatives sur la gestion des dépenses. Les décisions en matière de dépenses subiraient des retards et tant le Parlement que le Conseil fédéral verraient leur souplesse budgétaire s'amenuiser.
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?

> committed, cooperative and coherent neutrality = sticking to an exclusively military neutrality, while at the same time developing an active policy in the service of noble and useful goals for the international community, both in times of war and peace: reminding states of their commitments, punishing those responsible for violations of international law, promoting democratic values, supporting peace and disarmament processes, renouncing all arms exports.

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]

I'm in favor of a prohibition in principle. In some cases, it may be necessary, but the DPA must guarantee sufficient protection for this sensitive data.
Je suis pour une interdiciton de principe. Dans certains cas, cela peut s'averer nécessaire, mais la LPD doit garantir une protection suffisante de ces données sensibles.
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]

That would be completely impractical today.
Cela serait tout à fait inapplicable de nos jours.
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I'm in favor of a pacifist, ecological, social Europe with solid fundamental rights. The bilateral path is the right one for both the Swiss and EU citizens. Since the Federal Council unilaterally broke off negotiations on a framework agreement, the bilateral path has been weakened. The Federal Council must put an end to its inertia and return to the negotiating table.
Je suis en faveur d’une Europe pacifiste, écologique, sociale et dotée de droits fondamentaux solides. Il faut miser sur la voie bilatérale, car elle est favorable tant aux Suisses qu’aux citoyen‑ne‑s de l’UE. Depuis que le CF a interrompu unilatéralement les négociations en vue d’un accord-cadre, la voie bilatérale s’affaiblit. Il faut que le Conseil fédéral mette fin à son immobilisme et revienne à la table des négociations.
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
No, as long as our agriculture, our know-how and our ethical, social and environmental standards are sold off for the benefit of the big groups and part of the high-tech industry.
Non, tant que notre agriculture, nos savoirs-faire, nos normes éthiques, sociales et environnementales seront bradés au profit des grands groupes et d'une partie de l'industrie de pointe.
Comply with social and environmental standards
Should Swiss companies be obliged to ensure that their subsidiaries and suppliers operating abroad comply with social and environmental standards?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Yes, just as the initiative for responsible multinationals envisaged!
Oui, tout comme l'initiative pour des multinationales responsables l'envisageait!
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This is not applicable today. Switzerland cannot afford to free itself from relations with its European partners. It would make no sense.
Cela n'est pas applicable aujourd'hui. La Suisse ne peut pas se permettre de s'affranchir des relations avec ses partenaires européens. Ce serait un non sens.
Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality
