Health
Introduce compulsory vaccination for children
Should compulsory vaccination of children be introduced based on the Swiss vaccination plan?

Everyone should be able to live their own convictions. However, vaccines must be accessible to the whole population, and the FOPH and scientists are the reference in this field.
Chacun.e doit pouvoir vivre ses propres convictions. Pour autant l'accessibilité aux vaccins à l'ensemble de la population est nécessaire de plus l'OFSP et les scientifiques sont des référents en la matière.
Introduce a tax on sugary foods

Public health policy is a task for the Confederation. Having Parliament decide on everything can be tricky. The bourgeois parties must not take advantage of the opportunity to make budget cuts! The Swiss Socialist Party is committed to guaranteeing healthcare coverage.
La politique de santé publique est une tâche qui revient à la Confédération. Que le Parlement décide de tout peut être délicat. Il ne faudrait pas que les partis bourgeois profitent de l'occasion pour réaliser des coupes budgétaires! Le PS Suisse s'engage pour une garantie de la couverture sanitaire.

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
This would impoverish the Confederation's coffers. Reducing this federal tax, which is one of the most solidarity-based, would weaken the wealth distributed to the cantons and communes. Resources for public services (health, education, social, family) could be affected. Wealthy individuals and companies are subject to this tax, thanks to a progressive rate.
Cela appauvrirait les caisses de la confédération. Réduire cet impôt fédéral qui est l'un des plus solidaire affaiblirait les richesses qui sont distribuées aux cantons et aux communes. Les ressources dans les services publics pourraient être touchées (santé, éducation, social, famille). Les personnes fortunées et les entreprises sont soumises à cet impôt, grâce à un tarif progressif.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]

Compared to what's happening in Italy or France, where one lane is dedicated to cars proper, which perhaps brings greater safety, I'm all for it!
En regard de ce qui se passe en Italie ou en France où une voie est dédiée aux voitures proprement dites et qui apporte peut-être plus de sécurité, je suis plutôt oui!
