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
Premium reductions are the responsibility of the cantons, not the federal government. Moreover, this does not solve the causal problem of rising health care costs. The current regulation that health insurance premiums may not exceed 15% of the family budget is sufficient to relieve families.
Prämienverbilligungen sind Aufgabe der Kantone, nicht des Bundes. Zudem löst man so nicht das ursächliche Problem der steigenden Gesundheitskosten. Die aktuelle Regelung, dass Krankenkassenprämien nicht mehr als 15% des Famileinbudgets betragen dürfen, reicht aus, um Familien zu entlasten.
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
No distinction should be made between married and unmarried couples. Therefore, in return, previous marriage bonuses (contribution privileges, widow's pensions and supplements) in the AHV should be reduced or abolished.
Es soll kein Unterschied gemacht werden zwischen verheirateten und unverheirateten Paaren. Deshalb sollen im Gegenzug bisherige Ehe-Boni (Beitragsprivilegien, Verwittwetenrenten und -zuschläge) in der AHV reduziert oder abgeschafft 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
Our 3-pillar pension system combines redistribution with personal responsibility. In the 2nd pillar, each person saves for himself. However, redistribution is currently taking place here as well, which is not intended. A reduction is necessary to stop this.
Unser 3-Säulen-System der Altersvorsorge kombiniert Umverteilung mit Eigenverantwortung. In der 2. Säule spart jede Person für sich selber. Doch gegenwärtig findet auch hier eine Umverteilung statt, welche nicht vorgesehen ist. Eine Senkung ist notwendig, um dies zu stoppen.
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
Employers pay for the loss of earnings. Not every company can afford that. Therefore, a general expansion is not justifiable. But every company is free to expand its social benefits in order to be attractive to employees.
Die Erwerbsausfälle zahlen die Arbeitgeber. Das kann sich nicht jedes Unternehmen leisten. Deshalb ist ein genereller Ausbau nicht vertretbar. Doch jedem Unternehmen ist es freigestellt, seine Sozialleistungen auszubauen, um für Arbeitnehmer:innen attraktiv zu sein.
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
That would be a responsibility of the municipalities, not the federal government.
Das wäre eine Aufgabe der Gemeinden, nicht des Bundes.
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
Here, for me, the welfare of the child takes precedence over the self-determination of the parents.
Hier steht für mich das Wohl des Kindes über der Selbstbestimmung der Eltern.
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
Each of us is in a position to judge what food he or she wants to eat. I clearly reject the use of taxes as "educational measures".
Jeder von uns ist in der Lage zu berurteilen, welche Lebensmittel er oder sie zu sich nehmen möchte. Steuern als "Erziehungsmassnahmen" einzusetzen, lehne ich klar ab.
Contribution to healthcare costs
Should insured persons contribute more to health care costs (e.g., increase the minimum deductible)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Freedom of choice in health insurance premiums is to be further expanded. Those who want to should be able to contribute more to the costs. In return, more favorable health insurance premiums can be offered.
Die Wahlfreiheit bei der Krankenkassenprämie soll weiter ausgebaut werden. Wer will, soll sich stärker an den Kosten beteiligen können. Dafür können günstigere Krankenkassenprämien angeboten werden.
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
First and foremost, the role of Parliament must be strengthened. One must know: In extraordinary emergencies, the Federal Council always has the option of applying emergency law.
Es gilt in erster Linie die Rolle des Parlaments zu stärken. Man muss wissen: In ausserordentlichen Notlagen hat der Bundesrat immer die Möglichkeit Notrecht anzuwenden.
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
This can be a way to reduce our health care costs.
Dies kann ein Weg sein, unsere Gesundheitskosten zu reduzieren.
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
I support the basic idea. But the concept runs up against its limits in practice: Our teachers are overworked and often not sufficiently trained to address the special needs of the students. This leads to higher costs without added value, not even for the children concerned.
Die Grundidee befürworte ich. Doch das Konzept stösst in der Praxis seine Grenzen: Unsere Lehrkräfte sind überlastet und oft nicht ausreichend geschult, um auf die besonderen Bedürfnisse der Schülerinnen und Schüler einzugehen. Dies führt zu höheren Kosten ohne Mehrwert, auch nicht für die betroffenen Kinder.
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
Switzerland is also successful because of its dual education system with vocational apprenticeships and universities of applied sciences. At the same time, the high demands placed on high school graduates are leading to an increase in the number of strong students opting for vocational training. Our SMEs urgently need these young professionals.
Die Schweiz ist auch wegen dem dualen Ausbildungssystem mit Berufslehren und Fachhochschulen erfolgreich. Höhe Anforderungen an die gymnasiale Matur führt gleichzeitig dazu, dass sich vermehrt auch starke Schüler:innen für eine Berufslehre entscheiden. Diese Nachwuchskräfte brauchen unsere KMU dringend.
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
Education creates equal opportunities. It seems to me that early language support is very important so that foreign-language children do not have to struggle with a disadvantage as early as kindergarten.
Bildung schafft Chancengleichheit. Ganz wichtig scheint mir die frühe Sprachförderung, damit fremdsprachige Kinder nicht schon im Kindergarten mit einem Nachteil kämpfen müssen.
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
Naturalization requires integration, which takes time. There is no right to naturalization. Uniform requirements for naturalization decisions throughout Switzerland are to be advocated.
Eine Einbürgerung setzt Integration voraus, die ihre Zeit benötigt. Es gibt kein Recht auf Einbürgerung. Zu Befürworten sind schweizweit einheitliche Anforderungen bezüglich Einbürgerungsentscheiden.
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
Although the quotas are never exhausted throughout Switzerland, the quotas are set significantly too low, especially in economically strong cantons. Individual cantonal quotas must be increased.
Schweizweit werden die Kontingente zwar nie ausgeschöpft, aber vor allem in wirtschaftlich starken Kantonen sind die Kontingente deutlich zu tief angesetzt. Einzelne kantonale Kontingente müssen erhöht werden.
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
This could simplify procedures. But reality unfortunately shows that the living conditions in these centers at Schengen external borders do not meet a standard that Switzerland can stand behind.
Damit könnten Verfahren vereinfacht werden. Doch die Realität zeigt leider, dass die Lebensumstände in diesen Zentren an Schengen-Aussengrenzen nicht einem Standard entsprechen, hinter welchem die Schweiz stehen kann.
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
The motivation to become involved is to be welcomed. But anyone who has lived in Switzerland for ten years can become a naturalized citizen. Then rights go hand in hand with obligations.
Die Motivation, sich einzubringen, ist zu begrüssen. Doch wer seit zehn Jahren in der Schweiz lebt, kann sich einbürgern lassen. Dann gehen mit Rechten auch Pflichten einher.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Cannabis is no more dangerous than alcohol.
Cannabis ist nicht gefährlicher als Alkohol.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It would be even better if gender did not play a role at all in as many areas as possible.
Noch beser wäre es, wenn das Geschlecht in möglichst vielen Bereichen gar keine Rolle spielen würde.
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 FDP has been campaigning for this for forty years. This is an important step towards true equality in practice.
Dafür setzt sich die FDP schon seit vierzig Jahren ein. Das ist ein wichtiger Schritt hin zur wahren gelebten Gleichberechtigung.
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
Apart from income tax and wealth tax, there is no need for another tax. It would not be right to have to pay tax on the same money more than once.
Nebst der Einkommenssteuer und der Vermögenssteuer braucht es keine weitere Steuer. Es wäre nicht richtig, dasselbe Geld mehrfach versteuern zu müssen.
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
Already today, more than 5.5 billion francs are being redistributed. That is enough. More redistribution would punish successful cantons and at the same time reduce the incentives for economically weaker cantons to improve.
Schon heute werden mehr als 5.5 Milliarden Franken umverteilt. Das ist genug. Eine stärkere Umverteilung würde erfolgreiche Kantone bestrafen und gleichzeitig für wirtschaftlich schwächere Kantone die Anreize verringern, sich zu verbessern.
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
The introduction of minimum wages harms the weakest in our society. This is because employing people without training, refugees or people just starting out in their careers would no longer be financially worthwhile.
Die Einführung von Mindestlöhnen schadet den schwächsten in unserer Gesellschaft. Denn die Anstellung von Menschen ohne Ausbildung, Flüchtlingen oder Berufseinsteigern würde sich finanziell nicht mehr lohnen.
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
However, the Credit Suisse tragedy showed that, above all, existing regulation needs to be reviewed for its impact and adjusted if necessary.
Die Credit Suisse-Tragödie zeigte, dass aber vor allem die bereits bestehende Regulierung auf ihre Wirkung überprüft und gegebenenfalls angepasst werden muss.
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
More competition leads to better performance and lower prices.
Mehr Wettbewerb führt zu einer besseren Leistung und tieferen Preisen.
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
This is an important step towards more housing.
Dies ist ein wichtiger Schritt hin zu mehr Wohnraum.
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
Women must stand up for fair wages themselves and dare to make demands. There is no need for a state wage police.
Frauen müssen sich selbst für faire Löhne einsetzen und sich trauen, Forderungen zu stellen. Es braucht keine staatliche Lohnpolizei.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Efficient infrastructures are a core task of the state.
Leistungsfähige Infrastrukturen sind eine Kernaufgabe des Staats.
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
The choice of means of transport is a personal decision. Here, too, bans are the wrong way to go. In addition, the charging infrastructure is lacking in remote regions, for example.
Die Wahl des Fortbewegungsmittels ist ein persönlicher Entscheid. Verbote sind auch hier der falsche Weg. Zudem fehlt beipielsweise in abgelegenen Regionen die Ladeinfrastruktur.
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
Incentives bring about more sustainable progress than bans.
Anreize bringen die nachhaltigeren Fortschritte als Verbote.
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
This is the only way we can achieve our goals.
Nur so können wir unsere Ziele erreichen.
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
I am committed to technological freedom. None of us knows what technological advances the future will bring. But in any case, building new gas-fired power plants is not a sustainable alternative.
Ich setze mich für Technologiefreiheit ein. Niemand von uns weiss, welche technologischen Fortschritte die Zukunft bringt. Doch der Neubau von Gaskraftwerken ist auf jeden Fall keine nachhaltige Alternative.
Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Even in rural regions, the state has to guarantee a high-quality basic service. However, the services must have a certain relationship to demand.
Auch in ländlichen Regionen hat der Staat eine qualitativ gute Grundversorgung zu gewährleisten. Allerdings müssen die Leistungen einen gewissen Bezug zur Nachfrage aufweisen.
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
This would severely weaken our manufacturing industry in particular. This promotes deindustrialization, causes jobs to disappear and increases our dependence on foreign countries. We do not want that.
Dies würde vor allem unsere produzierende Industrie stark schwächen. Dies fördert die Deindustialisierung, lässt Arbeitsplätze verschwinden und erhöht unsere Auslandsabhängigkeit. Das wollen wir nicht.
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
The requirements for receiving direct payments are already high today. A further restriction would accelerate farm death and reduce the degree of self-sufficiency.
Die Anforderungen an den Erhalt von Direktzahlungen sind bereits heute hoch. Eine weitere Einschränkung würde das Hofsterben beschleunigen und den Selbstversorgungsgrad senken.
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
In principle, we already have high standards today, but these can still be improved in certain areas.
Grundsätzlich haben wir bereits heute hohe Standards, welche aber punktuell noch verbessert werden können.
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
An abstract number makes little sense. What is more decisive is the diversity and quality of the areas.
Eine abstrakte Zahl macht wenig Sinn. entscheidender sind die Vielfalt und die Qualität der Flächen.
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
Radical bans are the wrong way to go. Incentives for the use of recyclable materials would be better.
Radikale Verbote sind der falsche Weg. Besser wären Anreize für den Einsatz von recyclebaren Materialien.
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
Circular economy is to be promoted. But it should primarily be shaped by the companies and also meet their needs. Nevertheless, certain legal guard rails can be useful.
Kreislaufwirtschaft soll gefördert werden. Doch sie soll in erster Linie durch die Unternehmen geprägt sein und auch deren Bedürfnisse erfüllen. Dennoch können gewisse gesetzliche Leitplanken sinnvoll sein.
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
However, this is not a task for the state, but for the telecommunications providers.
Dies ist aber keine Staatsaufgabe, sondern die der Telekomanbieter.
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
Certain national standards are desirable to guarantee a high level of data security and to ensure that the systems are compatible. One example is the national electronic identity (E-ID).
Gewisse nationale Standards sind wünschenswert, um eine hohe Datensicherheit zu garantieren und damit die Systeme kompatibel sind. Ein Beispiel ist die staatliche elektronische Identiät (E-ID).

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?

Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Anyone who wants to participate in the political process at the age of 16 should not be prevented from doing so.
Wer sich schon mit 16 am politischen Prozess beteiligen möchte, sollte darann icht gehindert werden.
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 |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In order to fulfill its constitutional mandate, the budget of the Armed Forces must be increased to 7 billion francs and the target number of troops to 120,000.
Um ihren Verfassungsauftrag erfüllen kann, muss das budget der Armee auf 7 Milliarden Franken und der Sollbestand auf 120'000 Armeeangehörige erhöht werden.
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
In view of the changing geopolitical situation, stronger cooperation with NATO is important. NATO membership, on the other hand, should be clearly rejected.
Angesichts der sich verändernden geopolitischen Lage ist eine stärkere Zusammenarbeit mit der Nato wichtig. Ein NATO-Beitritt ist hingegen klar abzulehnen.
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]

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 |

The Schengen/Dublin Agreement creates security (Schengen Information System) and prevents Switzerland from becoming a magnet for asylum seekers from the EU.

Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?

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
Many existing free trade agreements prove that this is a successful path for Swiss foreign trade.
Viele bereits bestehende Friehandelsabkommen beweisen, dass dies ein erfolgsbringender Weg für die Schweizer Aussenwirtschaft ist.
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
It is simply not possible for every Swiss company (including SMEs and commercial enterprises) to control the activities of all their suppliers. Therefore, they must not be held liable for it.
Es ist schlicht nicht möglich, dass jedes Schweizer Unternehmen (auch KMU und Gewerbebetriebe) die Aktivitäten von all ihrern Zulieferern kontrolliert. Deshalb dürfen sie dafür auch nicht haftbar gemacht werden.
Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU

There is no contradiction between economy and ecology. Every investment in technology, thermal insulation or sustainable processes is also economic growth. Moreover, the economy has long been investing in innovative processes and products that protect the environment.

Whether 66 or 67 years of age - in view of rising life expectancy and the increasing imbalance between the working population and pensioners, a moderate adjustment of the retirement age is necessary. This solution is clearly preferable to a reduction in benefits.
Ob 66 oder 67 Jahre - Angesichts der steigenden Lebenserwartung und des zunehmenden Ungleichgewichts zwischen erwerbstätiger Bevölkerung und Rentnern ist eine moderate Anpassung des Rentenalters notwendig. Diese Lösung ist einem Leistungsabbau klar vorzuziehen.
