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
C'est avant tout le montant des primes maladie qui doit baisser. Il n'est pas viable que pour les ménages modestes, les primes d’assurance-maladie mangent le 20% du budget familial.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Surtout pour favoriser la construction de logements à prix abordables pour les familles nombreuses.
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
Je suis très favorable à la vaccination des enfants qui a permis la maîtrise de nombreuses maladies. Mais le choix de la vaccination doit rester du domaine de la responsabilité individuelle des parents.
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
Il faut surtout faire de la prévention dans les écoles et cibler les aliments qui créent le plus de problèmes chez les jeunes (boissons sucrées, etc.)
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
Les assurés payent déjà suffisamment. Pour baisser le prix de la santé, plusieurs pistes existent: utilisation généralisée des génériques, formation accrue de médecins généralistes, caisses cantonales, etc.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Oui, mais il faut donner aux enseignant-e-s les moyens nécessaires pour le faire dans de bonnes conditions. Sinon, la scolarisation dans des classes ordinaires ne sera pas épanouissante pour les enfants ayant des difficultés d'apprentissage ou des handicaps
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Oui, mais il ne faut pas tomber dans le piège de l'amalgame: familles à faible revenus = obligatoirement élèves en difficultés scolaires.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Face à la pénurie actuelle de main-d'œuvre actuelle, cela se justifie pour l'économie suisse. Mais notre pays doit surtout former suffisamment de personnel qualifié dans les domaines qui peinent à recruter.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
A relever que dans le canton de Fribourg, les titulaires de permis C qui vivent dans le canton depuis plus de cinq ans ont le doit de voter et d'être élus au niveau communal.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Avec l'augmentation constante du taux de THC, le cannabis ne doit pas être minimisé. Il peut avoir des effets extrêmement nocifs sur la santé psychiques de celles et ceux qui le consomment, surtout les plus jeunes. Une légalisation contrôlée du cannabis peut à ce titre constituer un levier important pour limiter drastiquement le taux de THC en Suisse.
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
Oui, dans la mesure où les textes de lois doivent s'adapter à leur époque. Pour arriver à cela, il s'agit d'intensifier l'information à la population sur cette thématique encore mal comprise.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Oui, dans le sens où tout le monde ne naît pas avec une cuillère d'argent dans la bouche. Mais la solution d'une franchise plus élevée augmenterait les chances de succès de la proposition. Il faut également faire attention à ce que cette proposition ne pénalise pas la transmission de PME et d'exploitations agricoles (souvent endettées par de lourds investissements).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
En revanche, les privés qui revendent de l'électricité verte à leur fournisseur doivent être davantage rémunérés.
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
Le développement de l'immobilier ne doit pas obéir qu'à une logique de rendement. Toute mesure entraînant une diminution de la qualité de vie ou des logements nuit à la société en général.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Pour autant que 2035 soit un délai de mise en œuvre raisonnable. Et pour autant que le prix des véhicules sans moteurs à combustion soit accessible à toutes et tous.
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
Il faut miser sur les deux à la fois. Moyennant des investissements publics, certaines interdictions qui ne péjorent pas les plus défavorisés sont acceptables.
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
Oui, si le développement des énergies renouvelables dans certaines zones a un impact positif important sur l'environnement en général. Mais ce développement ne doit pas empiéter sur la qualité de vie des habitants (implantation d'éoliennes à proximité d'habitations par exemple).
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
Non, à moins de disposer d'une technologie absolument propre qui rende caduc l'enfouissement des déchets radioactifs et qui ne mette pas la population en danger.
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
Le choix du lieu d'habitation ne doit en aucun cas péjorer l'offre de service public. C'est d'ailleurs l'une des forces de notre pays. Y déroger mettrait en danger l'équilibre villes-campagnes.
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
L'idée est séduisante selon le principe du pollueur-payeur. Mais dans la situation actuelle, elle aurait des conséquences sociales inacceptables. Par exemple pour celles et ceux qui sont encore obligés de se chauffer à l'électricité.
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
L'agriculture est une partie de l'équation écologique. Mais pas la seule. Beaucoup d'efforts allant dans le bon sens ont déjà été entrepris et les revenus paysans restent modestes. Il faut éviter de creuser un fossé entre les exploitant-e-s agricoles et les autres, entre la ville et la campagne. Je recommande à ce titre la lecture de "Faire paysan", de Blaise Hofmann. Il faut trouver un chemin médian: pas d'obligations, mais des incitations pour celles et ceux qui choisissent la voie écologique.
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
L'élevage (pour le lait et la viande) est un marché extrêmement tendu pour les exploitant-e-s agricoles. Je rencontre de nombreux agriculteurs-trices. Sachant que les animaux sont leur gagne-pain, ils ont à cœur de les traiter avec respect. L'un deux m'a dit: "si mes vaches paraissent heureuses, je suis heureux". Dans la situation actuelle, mieux vaut des incitations (qui existent) que des interdictions. Il s'agirait avant tout de garantir des prix justes pour la production liée à l'élevage.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Oui, pour autant que les valeurs d'émissions non-ionisantes sont respectées
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Non, car ce genre de référendums permettrait d'attaquer le financement de nombreuses mesures sociales ou climatiques.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Une professionnalisation accrue des soldat-e-s est préférable à une augmentation des effectifs.
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
Non, mais certains projets de collaboration avec l'OTAN, comme dans la cybersécurité et la surveillance de l'espace aérien, seraient bénéfiques pour la sécurité de la Suisse.
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
Non, car cela mettrait en danger la diplomatie et l'action humanitaire de la Suisse à l'étranger. Le travail des acteurs humanitaires, comme le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge par exemple, serait fortement compromis. On ne peut pas promouvoir le droit international humanitaire dans le monde, tout en vendant des armes, même indirectement, à des pays en conflit.
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Oui, sachant que l'UE est notre principal partenaire économique.
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
Un tel accord, à moins de conditions strictes en matière de respect de l'environnement, mettrait en danger l'agriculture et de nombreux autres acteurs économiques.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality
Should Switzerland return to a strict interpretation of neutrality (renounce economic sanctions to a large extent)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

Comment
Seulement si l'économie de marché partage de manière équitables les profits. La réalité et autre, puisque le fossé entre riches et pauvres est toujours plus grand. Réduire les inégalités, c'est ce à quoi s'attelle le PS.

Pas d'accord, même si chaque famille décide de la manière de s'occuper des enfants. La conciliation entre la vie professionnelle et privée renforce l'égalité.

Comment
Sanctionner les criminels (également la criminalité économique) fait partie des règles de notre sociétés. Mais les réinsérer est tout aussi important, car les études montrent que c'est le meilleur moyen de prévenir la récidive. Et que cela coûte au final moins cher à la société.

La Suisse a une longue tradition humanitaire qui lui a jusqu'alors offert une excellente réputation et favorise ses actions diplomatiques. J'augmenterais entre autres la contribution de la Suisse au CICR, fondé et basé en Suisse, Parmi d'autres, le CICR est un formidable promoteur de l'image neutre et altruiste de la Suisse à l'étranger.
