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

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
Whether or not to vaccinate oneself or one's children is not an individual choice, but has an impact on the entire population. Vaccines are a public health issue. To vaccinate is to protect oneself, but also to protect others. That's why it's vital to put measures in place to ensure that as many children as possible are vaccinated in accordance with the vaccination plan.
Se vacciner ou non, respectivement faire vacciner ses enfants ou non, ne relève pas d'un choix individuel mais a un impact sur l'ensemble de la population. Les vaccins sont un enjeu de santé publique. Se vacciner c'est se protéger soi-même mais aussi protéger les autres. Par conséquent, il est central de mettre des mesures en place pour que le plus possible d'enfants se vaccinent conformément au plan de vaccination.
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
Current sugar consumption is a problem. However, the solution lies not in taxation - which would potentially increase prices and therefore hit people with the least means hardest - but in imposing clear standards on multinational food companies, to put an end to unhealthy sugar levels in food.
La consommation actuelle de sucre est un problème. Toutefois, la solution ne réside pas dans la taxation - qui aurait potentiellement pour conséquence d'augmenter les prix et donc d'impacter durement les personnes avec le moins de moyens mais dans le fait d'imposer des normes claires aux multinationales de l'alimentation, afin de mettre fin aux taux de sucres nuisibles pour notre santé dans les aliments.
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
On the contrary, the healthcare system needs to be reformed from top to bottom, to guarantee quality care for the entire population instead of unaffordable premiums.
Au contraire, le système de santé doit être réformé de fond en comble, afin de garantir des soins de qualité à l'ensemble de la population au lieu de primes impayables.
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 health of the population comes before the profits of the private sector!
La santé de la population passe avant les profits de l'économie privée !
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
In principle, yes, because public health is a federal responsibility. However, this entails the risk that the right-wing - which has a larger majority at federal level than in some cantons - will take advantage of the situation to make budget cuts in the healthcare sector. Such a situation must be avoided at all costs. Hence "rather yes", only.
En principe, oui car la santé publique relève de la compétence de la Confédération. Toutefois, cela comporte le risque que la droite - disposant d'une majorité plus importante au niveau fédéral que dans certains cantons - en profite pour opérer des coupes budgétaires dans le domaine de la santé. Il faut éviter à tout prix une telle situation. D'où "plutôt oui", seulement.
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
It also means that more resources need to be allocated to schools, to ensure that they provide the right kind of support for people with disabilities or learning difficulties.
Cela signifie également que davantage de moyens doivent être alloués aux écoles, afin d'assurer un encadrement conforme aux besoins des personnes en situation de handicap ou ayant des difficulté d'apprentissage.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Not only should the conditions for naturalization be eased, but a system of automatic naturalization after 5 years in Switzerland should also be introduced. This would put an end to discriminatory and arbitrary naturalization procedures, whose conditions vary enormously from one commune to another.
Les conditions de naturalisation doivent non seulement être allégées mais un système de naturalisation automatique après 5 ans en Suisse doit être mis en place. Cela permettrait de mettre fin à des procédures de naturalisations discriminatoires, arbitraires et extrêmement variables dans leurs conditions entre les différentes communes.
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
Yes, but this must go hand in hand with the development of accompanying measures to prevent employers from using the increase in the quota to exert pressure on wages and working conditions.
Oui, mais cela doit aller de pair avec un développement des mesures d'accompagnement afin d'éviter que le patronat n'instrumentalise l'augmentation du contingent pour exercer une pression sur les salaires et les conditions de travail.
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
Switzerland is far from doing its fair share of the responsibility it bears for fierce tax competition, arms exports and human rights violations by the multinationals it hosts. To house asylum seekers outside Europe is to place an additional burden on a whole series of countries neighboring the countries from which the refugees are fleeing. On the contrary, Switzerland should welcome more asylum seekers.
La Suisse est loin de faire sa part par rapport à la part de responsabilité qu'elle porte en raison de sa concurrence fiscale acharnée, de ses exportations d'armes ou encore des violations des droits humains par les multinationales qu'elle abrite. Héberger les requérant·es hors d'Europe c'est faire porter une charge supplémentaire à toute une série de pays voisins des pays hors dequels les réfugié·es fuient. La Suisse doit au contraire accueillir davantage de requérant·es d'asile.
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
All people living in Switzerland should have the right to vote and stand for election after one year in the country. Indeed, they work, pay taxes in Switzerland, are involved in the social fabric and associations, but currently have no right to participate in decision-making. This is profoundly unfair!
Toutes les personnes qui vivent en Suisse doivent obtenir le droit de vote et d'éligibilité après une année en Suisse. En effet, elles travaillent, paient leurs impôts en Suisse, s'impliquent dans le tissu social et associatif mais n'ont aujourd'hui pas le droit de participer aux décisions. C'est profondément injuste !
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Cannabis consumption must be legalized and its sale placed in public hands. Indeed, this legalization, central from a public health point of view, must never become a means for private companies to make a profit.
La consommation de cannabis doit être légalisée et sa vente être en mains de l'Etat. En effet, cette légalisation, centrale d'un point de vue de santé publique, ne doit en aucun cas devenir un moyen pour des entreprises privées de faire des profits.
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
However, a clear and strict legal framework is needed for this practice.
Il est toutefois nécessaire de mettre en place un cadre légal clair et strict pour cette pratique.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This is a good transitional measure, reflecting a reality experienced by many people in Switzerland who are currently invisible because of gender binarity. Ultimately, however, the aim must be to abolish gender registration.
Cela constitue une bonne mesure transitoire, servant à refléter une réalité vécue par de nombreuses personnes en Suisse et invisibilisées aujourd'hui par la binarité des genres. À terme, l'objectif doit cependant être l'abolition de la mention de genre à l'état civil.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Only the rich benefit from these tax cuts, the rest of the population suffers!
Seul·es les riches bénéficient de ces baisses d'impôts, le reste de la population en pâtit !
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
Together with the Young Socialists, we are proposing an inheritance tax of over 50 million euros to finance a socially just fight against the climate crisis. Further information: https://initiative-pour-lavenir.ch/ Inheritance tax is one of the main reasons why wealth is so unevenly distributed in Switzerland. Today, 1% of the population owns more than 44% of the wealth! This has to change!
Avec la Jeunesse socialiste, nous proposons d'ailleurs un impôt sur les successions de plus de 50 millions pour financer une lutte socialement juste contre la crise climatique. Plus d'informations : https://initiative-pour-lavenir.ch/ Les successions sont une des raisons principales pour lesquelles les richesses sont aussi mal réparties en Suisse. 1% de la population possède aujourd'hui, plus de 44% des richesses ! Cela doit changer !!!
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Simplification is not a bad thing in itself. But it's not the solution to the housing problems people face today. The problem is finding affordable housing that meets our needs. This can be solved by building more public housing and less housing for the rich, by reversing the burden of proof for excessive rent, by supporting cooperatives, and so on.
Les simplifications ne sont pas une mauvaise chose en soi. Mais ce n'est pas la solution aux problèmes que rencontrent les gens aujourd'hui dans le domaine du logement. Le problème, c'est trouver un logement abordable et correspondant à nos besoins. Cela peut se résoudre en construisant davantage de logements d'utilité publique et moins de logements pour les riches, en inversant la charge de la preuve pour loyer abusif, en soutenant les coopératives, etc.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
No, we must ban all new freeway construction! Enlarging freeways doesn't make traffic any smoother, it just creates more traffic.
Non, il faut interdire toute nouvelle construction d'autoroutes ! Agrandir les autoroutes ne fluidifie pas le trafic mais donne simplement lieu à plus de trafic encore.
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
This is even necessary by 2030! At the same time, we need to develop public transport on a massive scale, while ensuring that it is affordable, to enable a socially just modal shift.
Cela est même nécessaire d'ici 2030 ! Parallèlement, un développement massif des transports public est nécessaire, en garantissant que ceux-ci soient abordables, afin de permettre un transfert modal socialement juste.
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
We need tough measures against the multinationals, banks and ultra-rich who are destroying our future!
Il faut des mesures strictes pour les multinationales, les banques et les ultra-riches qui détruisent notre avenir !
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
Priority should be given to measures that have no impact on the environment, such as equipping all roofs with solar panels. Only once these possibilities have been exhausted could a more flexible approach be considered.
Il faut en priorité mettre en place des mesures qui n'ont pas d'impact sur l'environnement, tel que l'équipement de tous les toits de panneaux solaires. Ce n'est qu'une fois ces possibilités épuisées qu'un assouplissement pourrait entrer en ligne de compte.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 be socially unjust, as it would penalize households with electric heating, i.e. mostly low- and middle-income households! Where progressivity is needed is in luxury electricity consumption, to put an end to overconsumption by the ultra-rich.
Cela serait socialement injuste, car cela pénaliserait les ménages qui ont un chauffage électrique, soit la plupart du temps les petits et moyens revenus ! Là où une progressivité est nécessaire, c'est dans la consommation électrique de luxe, pour mettre fin à la surconsommation des ultra-riches
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
Yes, but farms need to be given the necessary financial resources and sufficient time to make the transition.
Oui, mais il faut que des moyens financiers conséquents ainsi qu'une période de transition suffisante soient mis à disposition des exploitations agricoles afin de leur permettre de réaliser leur transitions.
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
Yes, but financial resources need to be made available to enable infrastructures to be adapted to requirements. More generally, livestock farming must be excluded from areas where agricultural production is possible. Ultimately, a Switzerland free of animal exploitation must be the goal.
Oui, mais il faut mettre des moyens financier à disposition pour permettre l'adaptation des infrastructures aux exigences. De façon plus générale, l'élevage doit être exclu des zones où une production agricole serait possible. À terme, une Suisse libérée de l'exploitation animale doit être l'objectif.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, the minimum warranty period should be extended to 10 years, to combat the logic of short-term profit.
Oui, la durée minimale de garantie doit être portée à 10 ans, afin de combattre la logique de profit à court terme.
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
No, from the point of view of reducing energy consumption, this is not a good thing. Technologies like 5G should be reserved for areas where they are useful for the well-being of the population, such as medicine.
Non, dans une perspective de réduction de consommation d'énergie cela n'est pas une bonne chose. Les technologies comme la 5G doivent être réservée aux domaines où elle sont utiles pour le bien-être de la population, tel que le domaine de la médecine.
Digitizing public services

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
No, because this initiative is aimed at directly attacking the public media. However, it would be a good idea to rethink the TV and radio licence fee system, as it is currently socially unjust. Indeed, paying CHF 335 a year when you're struggling to make ends meet is no mean feat!
Non, car cette initiative a pour but de s'attaquer directement aux médias publics. Toutefois, ils serait bien de repenser le système de redevance TV et radio, car celui-ci est aujourd'hui socialement injuste. En effet, payer 335 CHF par année quand on a de la peine à finir ses mois, ce n'est pas rien !

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
No, because that would be used mainly by the right to attack the welfare state and climate measures.
Non, car cela serait principalement utilisé par la droite pour s'attaquer à l'Etat social et aux mesures pour le climat.
Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers

Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

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
Ukraine (and all countries that suffer military aggression) have the right to defend themselves. This means, first and foremost, freezing the assets of Russian oligarchs (only 7.5 out of 200 billion have been frozen to date!) and strictly controlling dual-use goods. The re-export of arms should also be possible, but it's important to realize that this is not the key issue. And under no circumstances should it be used by the right to relax export conditions.
L'Ukraine (et tous les pays qui subissent une agression militaire) ont le droit de s'auto-défendre. Cela doit en 1er lieu passer par le gel des avoirs des oligarques russes (seuls 7,5 sur 200 milliards ont été gelés à ce jour !) et un contrôle strict des biens à double usage. La réexportation d'armes doit également être possible mais il est important de voir que ce n'est pas l'enjeu-clé. Et cela ne doit en aucun cas être instrumentalisé par la droite pour assouplir les conditions d'exportation.

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
However, accession at this time would be a serious mistake, with far-reaching consequences for public services and labor law. We need a new European construction, far from the neoliberal EU: a social Europe of solidarity!
Une adhésion à ce jour serait toutefois une grave erreur et aurait de grandes conséquences notamment sur les services publics et le droit du travail. Il nous faut une nouvelle construction européenne, loin de l'UE néolibérale : une Europe sociale et solidaire !
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
No, like other free trade agreements, it would have a disastrous social and ecological impact.
Non, comme les autres accord de libre-échange, cela aurait un impact désastreux sur le plan social et écologique.

It depends on how we define security. But if by security we mean the police, then a clear reduction is necessary. They are institutions whose purpose is to stabilize the social order, i.e. to perpetuate an unequal and discriminatory society. It does nothing to bring security to the population. Security is first and foremost social: having a roof over one's head, enough to eat, enough to look after oneself, and so on.
Cela dépend de notre définition de la sécurité. Mais si par sécurité, on entend la police, alors une diminution nette est nécessaire. C'est une institutions qui a pour but de stabiliser l'ordre social, i.e. perpétuer une société inégalitaire et discriminatoire. Elle n'apporte en rien de la sécurité à la population.

Comment
It's important that pensions are improved for the entire population, regardless of marital status. This is even more urgent given the current level of AHV pensions! They don't provide a decent standard of living - especially in the current inflationary climate. This is particularly urgent for low and middle-income earners. Yet only higher incomes would benefit from the measure proposed above...
Il est important que les rentes soient améliorées pour l'ensemble de la population, indépendamment du statut matrimonial. Cela est même urgent au vu de la hauteur des rentes AVS actuelles ! En effet, elles ne permettent pas de vivre dignement - en particulier dans le contexte d'inflation actuel. L'urgence est toute particulière pour les petits et moyens revenus. Or, seuls les revenus plus importants bénéficieraient de la mesure proposée ci-dessus...
