Comment
Under the aegis of Alain Berset, a number of food companies have agreed to gradually reduce the amount of sugar in their products. We unequivocally support legal measures to reduce the amount of sugar.
Sous l’égide d’Alain Berset, un certain nombre d’entreprises alimentaires ont accepté de réduire progressivement la quantité de sucre dans leurs produits. Nous soutenons sans équivoque les mesures légales visant à réduire la quantité de sucre.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Public health policy is a task for the Confederation. Nevertheless, the current configuration of Parliament would allow the bourgeois parties to take advantage of the opportunity to make budget cuts. The Swiss Socialist Party is committed to guaranteeing healthcare coverage.
La politique de santé publique est une tâche qui revient à la Confédération. Néanmoins, la configuration actuelle du Parlement permettrait aux partis bourgeois de profiter de l'occasion pour réaliser des coupes budgétaires. Le PS Suisse s'engage pour une garantir de la couverture sanitaire.
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 this concept as long as it really meets the needs of the children.
Je soutiens ce concept pour autant que cela convienne réellement aux besoins des enfants.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The increase in third-country quotas is a good thing, because on the one hand it enables specialists to work in Switzerland, and on the other it reduces the high wall surrounding Europe. Of course, we also believe that Switzerland must train enough qualified personnel of its own.
L'augmentation des contingents d'États tiers est une bonne chose, car elle permet d'une part aux spécialistes de travailler en Suisse et d'autre part de réduire le mur élevé qui entoure l'Europe. Mais nous sommes bien entendu d'avis que la Suisse doit aussi former elle-même suffisamment de personnel qualifié.
Asylum procedures outside Europe

|---|---|---|---|
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
The federal tax is one of the most solidarity-based taxes. Wealthy individuals and companies are subject to it, thanks to a progressive rate. Reducing this tax would weaken the redistribution of wealth and public services. At municipal and cantonal level, on the other hand, higher taxes on capital would relieve the burden on the working population.
L'impôt fédéral est un des impôts les plus solidaires. Les personnes fortunées et les entreprises y sont soumises, grâce à un tarif progressif. Réduire cet impôt affaiblirait la redistribution des richesses et les services publics. Au niveau communal et cantonal en revanche, un renforcement de l'imposition du capital permettrait de soulager la population et les personnes qui travaillent.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, but the chosen solution must not have a negative impact on the budget or be self-financing.

| 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
The Swiss Socialist Party is fundamentally opposed to yield-driven real estate development. We are in favor of simplifications, but it must be stressed that they will not change the current situation. Finally, we are opposed to any measures that lead to a reduction in the quality of life or housing.
Le PS Suisse est fondamentalement opposé à un développement de l’immobilier basé sur le rendement. Nous sommes a priori favorables à des simplifications, mais il est à souligner qu’elles ne changeront pas grand-chose à la situation actuelle. Nous nous opposons enfin à toutes les mesures entraînant une diminution de la qualité de vie ou des logements.

La Suisse doit prendre cette voie comme l'UE qui a décidé de le faire à partir de 2035.
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
With public investment, certain bans are acceptable, for example certain air flights without rail transport.
Moyennant des investissements publics, certaines interdictions sont acceptables, par exemple certains vols en avion sans moyen de transport par le train.
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
Concrete, acceptable solutions do exist, such as the projects adopted by the round table devoted to hydropower. An obligation to install solar panels on all new buildings should be introduced to avoid exceptions. This proposal is supported by a majority of the population, according to recent surveys.
Des solutions concrètes et acceptables existent, à l’image des projets adoptés par la table-ronde consacrée à l’énergie hydraulique. Une obligation d’installer des panneaux solaires sur toutes les nouvelles constructions doit être mise en place afin d’éviter les exceptions. Cette proposition est soutenue par une majorité de la population, selon de récents sondages.

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 would have unacceptable social consequences for the PS. Indeed, tenants who have to use electric heating (who are often people on low incomes) would be penalized by these tariffs. The climate fund initiative will enable us to make massive investments in the energy transition in a spirit of solidarity, and reduce energy and electricity consumption. The acceptance of the Climate Act in June showed that the public supports the initiative.
Cette mesure aurait des conséquences sociales inacceptables pour le PS. En effet, les locataires devant utiliser un chauffage électrique (qui sont souvent des personnes touchant de faibles revenus) seraient pénalisé-es par ces tarifs. L’initiative pour un fonds climat permettra de réaliser des investissements massifs dans la transition énergétique de manière solidaire et de réduire la consommation d’énergie et d’électricité. L’acceptation de la loi climat en juin a montré que la population souti

Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
With public aid for the transition, we believe that this measure would help advance the ecological transition of agriculture.
Moyennant des aides publiques pour la transition, nous estimons que cette mesure permettrait de faire avancer la transition écologique de l'agriculture.

Comment

oui, tant que les valeurs limites d'émissions ionisantes sont respectées.

| 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
However, some collaborative projects with NATO make sense, for example in the fields of cybersecurity and airspace surveillance.
Certains projets en collaboration avec l'OTAN sont toutefois judicieux, comme par exemple dans les domaines de la cybersécurité ou de la surveillance de l'espace aérien.
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]

Comment
The Swiss SP is committed to ensuring that international trade complies with strict environmental and human rights criteria. If international agreements respect these criteria, we can support them. If they don't, we oppose them.
Le PS Suisse s’engage pour que le commerce international respecte des critères stricts en matière de respect de l’environnement et de droits humains. Si les accords internationaux respectent ces critères, nous pouvons les soutenir. Dans le cas contraire, nous les combattons.
