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 am convinced that the success of an inclusive school can only be guaranteed by providing sufficient resources, including teaching and socio-educational staff.
Ich bin überzeugt, dass der Erfolg einer integrativen Schule nur durch die Bereitstellung ausreichender Ressourcen, einschliesslich Lehr- und sozialpädagogischem Personal, gewährleistet werden kann.

Als Teil der Bevölkerung zahlen Ausländer:innen in der Schweiz Steuern, haben jedoch kein Wahl- oder Stimmrecht. Dies betrifft 20% unserer Gemeinschaft. Ich befürworte die Forderung der Jungen Grünen nach einem Stimmrecht, für alle in der Schweiz lebenden Personen ab 14 Jahren.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
I think that direct active euthanasia by physicians should be exempt from punishment. In this context, a carefully examined and systematic procedure is crucial to determine the actual will of the patient by an independent authority. If it is determined that the person explicitly wishes direct active euthanasia, for example through a living will, physicians should be allowed to perform it without criminal consequences.
Ich denke, dass die direkte aktive Sterbehilfe durch Ärzt:innen straffrei sein sollte. Dabei ist ein sorgfältig geprüftes und systematisches Verfahren entscheidend, um den tatsächlichen Willen der Patient:innen durch eine unabhängige Instanz zu ermitteln. Falls festgestellt wird, dass die Person, beispielsweise durch eine Patientenverfügung, ausdrücklich direkte aktive Sterbehilfe wünscht, sollte es den Ärzt:innen gestattet sein, diese ohne strafrechtliche Konsequenzen durchzuführen.

|---|---|---|---|
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
I am against a complete liberalization of the electricity market in the current situation. Before this is considered, the successful implementation of the energy turnaround must be guaranteed.
Ich bin gegen eine vollständige Liberalisierung des Strommarktes in der gegenwärtigen Situation. Bevor dies in Erwägung gezogen wird, muss die erfolgreiche Durchführung der Energiewende garantiert sein.

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
I believe that to achieve the climate targets, we need a balanced approach that includes incentives and target agreements as well as restrictions. This mix should be effective, socially just, efficient, and acceptable. So it needs both.
Ich glaube, dass wir zur Erreichung der Klimaziele einen ausgewogenen Ansatz benötigen, der sowohl Anreize und Zielvereinbarungen als auch Einschränkungen umfasst. Dieser Mix sollte wirksam, sozial gerecht und effizient sein und Akzeptanz finden. Es braucht also beides.
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.

|---|---|---|---|
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 support the demand of the Young Greens that general direct payments should be abolished. Agro-ecological production systems that do not exploit the environment, people and animals should be supported by public funds. Farms that change towards sustainable production should receive financial support in the process.
Ich unterstütze die Forderung der Jungen Grünen, dass generelle Direktzahlungen aufgehoben werden sollten. Agrarökologische Produktionssysteme, die Umwelt, Menschen und Tiere nicht ausbeuten, sollten von öffentlichen Geldern gefördert werden. Landwirtschaftsbetriebe, die sich zu nachhaltiger Produktion hin verändern, sollten dabei finanzielle Unterstützung erhalten.

Comment
The young generation is politically engaged and wants to influence its future. The earlier young people can participate in the political process, the earlier politicization is achieved. In combination with comprehensive education at school about our political system and current political issues, we can achieve a high level of participation in elections and voting among young people.
Die junge Generation ist politisch engagiert und möchte Einfluss auf ihre Zukunft nehmen. Je früher junge Menschen am politischen Prozess teilnehmen können, desto früher wird eine Politisierung erreicht. In Kombination mit einer umfassenden schulischen Bildung über unser politisches System und aktuelle politische Fragen können wir eine hohe Wahl- und Stimmteilnahme bei jungen Menschen erzielen.
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
In my opinion, the final responsibility in the budget process lies with Parliament and it should exercise it. This also applies to supplementary credits that are needed in the course of the year. Through the instrument of the debt brake, the federal government must always keep its spending within limits. A referendum would block the performance of tasks for months - this also applies to the area of multi-year financial obligations.
Meiner Meinung nach liegt die endgültige Verantwortung im Budgetprozess beim Parlament und es sollte diese auch ausüben. Dies gilt auch für Nachtragskredite, die im Laufe des Jahres benötigt werden. Durch das Instrument der Schuldenbremse muss der Bund seine Ausgaben stets in Grenzen halten. Ein Referendum würde die Aufgabenwahrnehmung über Monate hinweg blockieren - dies betrifft auch den 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 very difficult to reconcile with extended cooperation with NATO. Switzerland should should instead promote an unarmed peace policy and, among other things, sign the sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
Die militärische Neutralität der Schweiz ist nur sehr schwer zu vereinbaren mit einer ausgeweiteten Zusammenarbeit mit der NATO. Die Schweiz sollte stattdessen eine unbewaffnete Friedenspolitik fördern und unter anderem den Atomwaffenverbotsvertrag unterzeichnen.
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
In exceptional cases, such as attacks against international law, e.g. on Ukraine, the re-export of Swiss weapons should be permitted. This serves to support the attacked state in its self-defense. In this context, Swiss neutrality must be weighed against international law, in particular the right to self-defense according to Art51 of the UN Charter. Decisions must be carefully considered and must comply with international obligations as well as humanistic principles.
In Ausnahmefällen wie bei völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffen, zB. auf die Ukraine, sollte die Wiederausfuhr von Schweizer Waffen erlaubt sein. Dies dient der Unterstützung des angegriffenen Staates in seiner Selbstverteidigung. Hierbei muss die Schweizer Neutralität mit dem Völkerrecht, insbesondere dem Recht auf Selbstverteidigung gemäss Art51 der UN-Charta, abgewogen werden. Entscheidungen müssen sorgfältig geprüft und internationalen Verpflichtungen sowie humanistischen Prinzipien gerecht werden.

Comment
I think it is essential that cooperation between the cantons and at national level in hospital planning is intensified. Especially in our canton and region, I see this as an important necessity. Despite the urgency of mandatory cooperation, I am of the opinion that the responsibility should not lie exclusively with the federal government.
Ich halte es für essenziell, dass die Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Kantonen und auf nationaler Ebene in der Spitalplanung intensiviert wird. Besonders in unserem Kanton und unserer Region sehe ich das als eine wichtige Notwendigkeit. Trotz der Dringlichkeit einer verpflichtenden Zusammenarbeit bin ich der Meinung, dass die Verantwortung nicht ausschliesslich beim Bund liegen darf.
