Welfare state & family

|---|---|---|---|

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
The purpose of compulsory vaccination is to protect the most vulnerable people. First and foremost, social solidarity is needed to ensure their protection. A vaccination obligation must stand up to a fundamental rights test. But individual rights must not be equated with recklessness and apply without restriction. Repressive consequences such as fines, however, must be viewed critically from a fundamental rights perspective.
Zweck einer Impfpflicht ist der Schutz der vulnerabelsten Personen. Um deren Schutz zu gewährleisten braucht es in erster Linie gesellschaftliche Solidarität. Eine Impfpflicht muss einer Grundrechtsprüfung standhalten. Aber individuelle Rechte dürfen nicht mit Rücksichtslosigkeit gleichgesetzt werden und uneingeschränkt gelten. Repressive Konsequenzen wie Bussen sind aber aus grundrechtlicher Perspektive kritisch zu betrachten.
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
Companies are welcome to be taxed with a levy on sugary foods. However, this is a consumption tax. The price increase due to such a levy hits people with low incomes harder. While they can no longer afford sugary products to the same extent, people with high incomes will hardly feel the price development - their consumption behavior will hardly adjust. The measure is not only anti-social, it misses its target.
Gerne können Unternehmen mit einer Abgabe auf zuckerhaltige Lebensmittel besteuert werden. Hier handelt es sich aber um eine Konsumsteuer. Die Preiserhöhung aufgrund einer solchen Abgabe trifft Menschen mit niedrigem Einkommen stärker. Während sie sich zuckerhaltige Produkte nicht mehr im gleichen Ausmass leisten können, werden Personen mit hohem Einkommen die Preisentwicklung kaum spüren - ihr Konsumverhalten wird sich kaum anpassen. Die Massnahme ist nicht nur unsozial, sie verfehlt ihr Ziel.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The Federal Council should only make limited use of the possibility in the constitution to enact emergency legislation for a limited period of time. During a pandemic, it is a matter of protecting public health. Action must be taken quickly. However, the measures must be proportionate and restrictions on private life should not go further than those for the private sector.
Von der Möglichkeit in der Verfassung, befristet Notrecht zu erlassen, soll der Bundesrat nur zurückhaltend gebauch machen. Während einer Pandemien geht es um den Schutz der öffentlichen Gesundheit. Es muss schnell gehandelt werden. Die Massnahmen müssen aber verhältnismässig sein und Einschränkungen im Privatleben sollen nicht weiter gehen als jene für die Privatwirtschaft.
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
The current composition of parliament means that the right-wing parties are also pushing through budget cuts in this area. Also in most cantons, unfortunately, a neoliberal health policy is often pursued. No profit should be made with health services! Providing the population with health services is a task of the federal government. Federal planning makes sense, but more resources are needed.
Die aktuelle Zusammensetzung des Parlaments führt dazu, dass die rechten Parteien auch in diesem Bereich Budgetkürzungen durchsetzen. Auch in den meisten Kantonen wird leider oft eine neoliberale Gesundheitspolitik verfolgt. Mit Gesundheitsdienstleistungen sollte kein Gewinn erwirtschaftet werden! Die Versorgung der Bevölkerung mit Gesundheitsdienstleistungen ist eine Aufgabe des Bundes. Eine bundesweite Planung ist sinnvoll, es braucht aber mehr Ressourcen.
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
To meet the needs of all students, education needs sufficient resources.
Um den Bedürfnissen aller Schüler*innen gerecht zu werden, braucht es genügend Ressourcen für das Bildungswesen.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma

| 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
Definitely! Political rights should generally not be linked to the possession of a Swiss passport. It is unworthy of a democracy to exclude 1/4 of the population from political participation.
Definitiv! Politische Rechte sollten im allgemeinen nicht an den Besitz eines Schweizer Passes gekünpft sein. Es ist einer Demokratie unwürdig, 1/4 der Bevölkerung von der politischen Mitsprache auszuschliessen.
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
I am committed to the freedom of movement of all people, regardless of their passport. In an ideal world, the number of people from "third countries" who want to come to Switzerland must not be limited. In addition, in the short term, the restrictive criteria for obtaining a residence permit, which apply to people from "third countries", must be relaxed. In the long term, these criteria should also be abolished.
Ich setze mich für die Bewegungsfreiheit aller Menschen unabhängig ihres Passes ein. In einer idealen Welt, darf die Anzahl Personen aus "Drittstaaten", welche in die Schweiz kommen wollen, nicht begrenzt werden. Zudem gilt es kurzfristig die restriktiven Kriterien zum Erhalt einer Aufenthaltsbewilligung zu lockern, welche für Personen aus "Drittstaaten" gelten. Langfristig gehören auch diese Kriterien abgeschafft.
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
Europe's current policy of sealing off borders is anti-human. Help is needed instead of violence at the EU's external borders, safe escape routes and freedom of movement for all!
Die gengenwärtige Abschottungspolitik Europas ist menschenfeindlich. Es braucht Hilfe statt Gewalt an den EU-Aussengrenzen, sichere Fluchtwege und Bewegungsfreiheit für alle!
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
Political rights should be equal for all people within a society - the length of stay in a country should not be decisive, they also have to pay taxes. It is unworthy of a democracy to exclude 1/4 of the population from political participation.
Politische Rechte sollten Menschen innerhalb einer Gesellschaft gleichermassen zustehen - die Aufenthaltsdauer in einem Land sollte nicht massgebend sen, Steuern müssen sie schliesslich auch zahlen.Es ist einer Demokratie unwürdig, 1/4 der Bevölkerung von der politischen Mitsprache auszuschliessen.

Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The introduction of a third gender registration option is a first important step for the visibility of people with a non-binary gender identity. In the long term, the gender entry in the civil status register should be deleted.
Die Einführung einer dritten Geschlechtseintragungsmöglichkeit ist ein erster wichtiger Schritt für die Sichtbarkeit von Menschen mit einer nicht-binären Geschlechtsidentität. Langfristig sollte der Geschlechtseintrag im Personenstandsregister gestrichen werden.

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 measure could place a heavier burden on people with lower incomes. The threshold for the higher prices would have to be set so that normal private households are not affected.
Diese Massnahme könnte Menschen mit tieferem Einkommen stärker belasten. Die Schwelle für die höheren Preise müsste so angesetzt werden, dass normale Privathaushalte nicht betroffen sind.

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 am not in favor of joining the EU at this point in time. Among other things, this would lead to a deterioration of our labor laws. It needs a rebuilding, away from a neoliberal EU: I stand up for a social and solidary Europe!
Ein EU-Beitritt zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt befürworte ich nicht. Dies würde u.a. zur Verschelchterung unseres Arbeitsrechts führen. Es braucht einen Neu-Aufbau, weg von einer neoliberalen EU: Ich setze mich für ein soziales und solidarisches Europa ein!

Comment
Every person should be able to live a life in dignity - even in old age. To achieve this, the AHV must be strengthened and contributions increased. It makes sense to cap maximum pensions, but marital status should have no influence on the amount of pensions.
Jede Person sollte ein Leben in Würde führen können - auch im Alter. Um dies zu erreichen, muss die AHV gestärkt und die Beiträge erhöht werden. Eine Deckelung der Maximalrenten ist sinnvoll, der Zivilstand sollte aber keinen Einfluss auf die Höhe der Renten haben.
