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
Especially for lower income households.
Insbesondere für Haushalte mit tieferem Einkommen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The marriage penalty must be abolished.
Die Heiratsstrafe ist abzuschaffen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Improvement for low income and part-time workers is the main focus.
Verbesserung für tiefe Einkommen und Teilzeitpensen steht im Vordergrund.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The initial period after birth is very important and valuable for families. Expanding parental leave will strengthen young families in the long term.
Die Anfangszeit nach der Geburt ist für Familien sehr wichtig und wertvoll. Mit einem Ausbau der Elternzeit werden junge Familien langfristig gestärkt.
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
Makes sense with rising rents, though responsibility should be more at the municipal level.
Bei steigenden Mietpreisen sinnvoll, wobei Verantwortung eher auf Gemeindeebene liegen soll.
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
Fortunately, the vaccination rate in Switzerland is already high. However, the focus should be on personal responsibility and information / communication.
Die Impfquote in der Schweiz ist glücklicherweise bereits hoch. Der Fokus soll aber auf Eigenverantwortung und Information / Kommunikation liegen.
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
Sensible incentive to reduce sugar consumption. The overconsumption of sugar in Switzerland is currently far too high.
Sinnvoller Anreiz, Zuckerkonsum zu senken. Der Überkonsum von Zucker in der Schweiz ist gegenwärtig viel zu gross.
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
Cost sharing in the health care system works well and sets the right incentives for the insured. An increase in the deductible is not necessary and could lead to people with low incomes foregoing important doctor's visits for financial reasons.
Die Kostenbeteiligung im Gesundheitswesen funktioniert gut und setzt bei den Versicherten die richtigen Anreize. Eine Erhöhung der Franchise ist nicht notwendig und könnte dazu führen, dass Menschen mit tiefem Einkommen aus finanziellen Gründen auf wichtige Arztbesuche verzichten.
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
Lessons are to be learned from the pandemic for adjustments to the legal basis. At the same time, the pandemic has also shown that the options available to the Federal Council were important and necessary for rapid action in the pandemic.
Aus der Pandemie sollen Lehren für Anpassungen an den rechtlichen Grundlagen gezogen werden. Gleichzeitig hat die Pandemie auch gezeigt, dass die Möglichkeiten des Bundesrates wichtig und notwendig waren für ein rasches Handeln in der Pandemie.
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
Rising healthcare costs call for more efficient and cross-cantonal solutions.
Die steigenden Kosten im Gesundheitswesen verlangen nach effizienteren und kantonsübergreifenden Lösungen.
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
People with disabilities are part of society and should therefore not be separated wherever possible. However, the resources required for this must be expanded.
Menschen mit Behinderungen sind Teil der Gesellschaft und sollen daher wo möglich nicht separiert werden. Die dafür nötigen Ressourcen sind jedoch auszubauen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The high school quota is to remain stable.
Die Gymnasialquote soll stabil bleiben.
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
Equal educational opportunities are very important. There should be no disadvantage for children who do not receive enough support at home or do not have the opportunity to do so due to financial difficulties.
Gleiche Bildungschancen sind sehr wichtig. Es soll kein Nachteil für Kinder entstehen, welche zu Hause nicht genügend Unterstützung erhalten oder aus finanziellen Schwierigkeiten keine Möglichkeiten hierzu haben.
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
Absurd requirements for unchanged residence and unequal regulations from municipality to municipality are unfair. Therefore, the requirements should be standardized and relaxed.
Absurde Anforderungen an den unveränderten Wohnsitz und ungleiche Regelungen von Gemeinde zu Gemeinde sind unfair. Deshalb sollen die Anforde- rungen vereinheitlicht und gelockert werden.
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
In times of a shortage of skilled workers, it is appropriate to increase the third-country quota. However, this should not be done at the expense of accepting refugees.
In Zeiten des Fachkräftemangels ist die Erhöhung des Drittstaatenkontingents angebracht. Dies soll aber nicht auf Kosten der Aufnahme von Flüchtenden geschehen.
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
Such a practice would hardly be compatible with human dignity. In addition, valuable time for preparation for integration (German courses, etc.) would be lost.
Eine solche Praxis wäre mit der Menschenwürde kaum vereinbar. Zudem würde wertvolle Zeit für die Vorbereitung auf die Integration (Deutschkurse etc.) verloren gehen.
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
Foreigners who have been living in Switzerland for ten years are part of our society and should therefore be given the right to vote and stand for election in their community. At the same time, the requirements for naturalization are to be relaxed.
Ausländer/-innen, die seit zehn Jahren in der Schweiz leben, sind Teil unserer Gesellschaft und sollen daher das Stimm- und Wahlrecht ihrer Gemeinde erhalten. Gleichzeitig sollen die Anforderungen an die Einbürgerung gelockert werden.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Legalization is an option if it would lead to a decrease in users, with preference given to better prevention or stronger youth protection.
Eine Legalisierung ist eine Option, wenn dies zu einer Abnahme der Konsumenten führen würde, wobei bessere Prävention oder stärkeren Jugendschutz bevorzugt werden sollen.
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
The protection of life central. Direct active euthanasia is unethical. Instead, palliative care must be strengthened to ensure aging with dignity.
Der Schutz des Lebens zentral. Die direkte aktive Sterbehilfe ist unethisch. Stattdessen gilt es Palliativ-Care zu stärken, um ein Altern in Würde zu sichern.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Equality was decided by the people and is therefore not up for debate.
Die Gleichstellung wurde vom Volk beschlossen und steht deshalb nicht zur Debatte.
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
Currently, the situation of federal finances is tense and a tax cut would therefore be associated with a strong reduction in services.
Aktuell ist die Situation um die Bundesfinanzen angespannt und eine Steuer- senkung wäre deshalb mit starkem Leistungsabbau verbunden.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Taxation with full splitting would be the fair alternative. tive.
Die Besteuerung mit Vollsplitting wäre die faire Alterna- tive.
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
An inheritance tax would counteract growing inequality and is a fair way to tax.
Eine Erbschaftssteuer würde wachsender Ungleichheit entgegenwirken und ist eine faire Art der Besteuerung.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Due to the differences between the cantons, fiscal equalization is necessary and extremely important for the recipient cantons. Moreover, a stronger fiscal equalization can counteract the harmful tax competition between the cantons.
Aufgrund der Unterschiede der Kantone ist der Finanzausgleich notwendig und für die Empfänger-Kantone äusserst wichtig. Zudem kann ein stärkerer Finanzausgleich dem schädlichen Steuerwettbewerb zwischen den Kantonen entgegenwirken.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Work should be fairly remunerated - here CHF 4,000 is an appropriate minimum value.
Arbeit soll fair entlöhnt werden – hier sind CHF 4'000 ein angemessener Mindestwert.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The CS crisis has shown that the financial sector, as a provider of basic services, needs stricter regulations. After all, the risk often lies with the general public .
Die CS-Krise hat gezeigt, dass der Finanzsektor als Dienstleister des Grundbedarfs strengere Vorschriften braucht. Das Risiko liegt nämlich häufig bei der Allgemeinheit .
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
Liberalization is not necessary and has often proven inefficient and expensive abroad.
Eine Liberalisierung ist nicht notwendig und hat sich im Ausland oft als ineffizient und teuer erwiesen.
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
This would simplify denser construction. Relaxations in noise protection are not desirable.
Dies würde verdichtetes Bauen vereinfachen. Lockerungen beim Lärmschutz sind nicht erstrebenswert.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Wage discrimination is to be combated. Stricter controls are necessary to ensure that equal pay is paid for work of equal value.
Die Lohndiskriminierung soll bekämpft werden. Strengere Kontrollen sind notwendig um sicherzustellen, dass für gleichwertige Arbeit gleicher Lohn bezahlt wird.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Expansion of highway sections leads to even more traffic and thus cannot efficiently counteract the heavy traffic volume. Expansion of public transport is preferable.
Ein Ausbau von Autobahnabschnitten führt zu noch mehr Verkehr und kann somit dem starken Verkehrsaufkommen nicht effizient entgegenwirken. Ausbau von öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln ist vorzuziehen.
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
A ban on new registrations from 2035 is not a realistic goal. Alternatives to environmentally harmful combustion engines do exist, but they must be further developed and innovated.
Ein Verbot für die Neuzulassung ab 2035 ist kein realistisches Ziel. Alternativen zu umweltschädlichen Verbrennungsmotoren gibt es zwar, müssen aber noch weiter ausgebaut und innoviert werden.
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
Incentives should be used wherever possible. Unfortunately, incentives do not always work well enough. For this reason, restrictions are needed in certain areas to allow the climate targets to be achieved efficiently.
Wo immer möglich, soll auf Anreize gesetzt werden. Leider greifen Anreize nicht immer gut genug. Deshalb braucht es in gewissen Bereichen auch Einschränkungen, welche das effiziente Erreichen der Klimaziele erlauben.
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
In order for us to achieve the energy transition, we must invest in the expansion of renewable energies. However, wind turbines, for example, should only be built where it makes sense.
Damit wir die Energiewende schaffen können, müssen wir in den Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien investieren. Beispielsweise sollen aber Windräder nur dort gebaut werden, wo es auch sinnvoll ist.
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
Innovations in nuclear energy are promising, but alternative energies are preferable because the nuclear waste produced today is harmful to the environment.
Innovationen in der Kernenergie sind vielversprechend, allerdings sind alternative Energien vorzuziehen, da der heutig anfallende Atommüll für die Umwelt schädlich ist.
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
Services and infrastructure included in the public service should be equally accessible to the entire population.
Im Service-Public enthaltenen Dienstleistungen und Infrastruktur sollen der ganzen Bevölkerung gleich zugänglich sein.
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
Incentives to save electricity make sense, but low-income households may be more affected.
Anreize zum Stromsparen sind sinnvoll, allerdings könnten Haushalte mit geringem Einkommen stärker betroffen sein.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Large carnivores are an enrichment for nature and biodiversity. The current law already enables sensible herd protection.
Grossraubtiere sind eine Bereicherung für Natur und Biodiversität. Das aktuelle Gesetz ermöglicht bereits sinnvoller Herdenschutz.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Direct payments in agriculture are intended to provide meaningful incentives for the ecological turnaround.
Mit den Direktzahlungen in der Landwirschaft sollen sinnvolle Anreize für die ökologische Wende gesetzt werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
30% is a reasonable and effective proportion for the protection of biodiversity.
30% ist ein sinnvoller und wirkungsvoller Anteil zum Schutz der Biodiversität.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Use recyclable materials as much as possible.
So viel wie möglich auf recyclebare Stoffe setzen.
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
Devices with intentionally short useful lives are harmful to consumers and consume unnecessary resources.
Geräte mit absichtlich kurzer Nutzungsdauer sind schädlich für Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten und verbrauchen unnötig viel Ressourcen.
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
A strong mobile network is important for digitization.
Ein starkes Mobilfunktnetz ist für die Digitalisierung wichtig.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
There is still a great need for action, particularly in the area of information security. The federal government should be able to define and enforce uniform requirements in this area.
Insbesondere in der Informationssicherheit besteht noch grosser Handlungsbedarf. Der Bund soll hier einheitliche Vorgaben festlegen und durchset- zen können.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Government regulations are important to ensure that private platform operators do not pursue profit maximization indefinitely, but also assume their responsibility. Especially with the technology of "machine learning" (also AI; artificial intelligence), transparency and combating disinformation is relevant for society.
Staatliche Vorgaben sind wichtig, damit die privaten Plattformbetreibenden sich nicht unbegrenzt nach Profitmaximierung ausrichten, sondern auch ihre Verantwortung wahrnehmen. Besonders mit der Technologie von "machine learning" (auch KI; künstliche Intelligenz) ist Transparenz und Bekämpfung von Desinformation für die Gesellschaft relevant.
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
Strong media are essential for a democracy. Especially in small and quadrilingual Switzerland, fees are important for a strong public service.
Starke Medien sind für eine Demokratie unerlässlich. Speziell in der kleinen und viersprachigen Schweiz sind Gebühren für einen starken Service Public wichtig.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The JEVP supports the voting age of 16, because at 16 one has already developed the fully matured abilities for reflective decisions on factual issues, democracy should be learned early and young people who are affected by political decisions for a long time should also be allowed to participate in decision-making.
Die JEVP unterstützt das Stimmrechtsalter 16, da man mit 16 bereits die vollständig ausgereiften Fähigkeiten für reflektierte Entscheide zu Sachfragen entwickelt hat, Demokratie früh gelernt werden soll und Jugendliche, die langevon politischen Entscheiden betroffen sind, auch mitentscheiden dürfen.
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
Could lead to important processes being blocked. In addition, a great many votes are already taking place.
Könnte dazu führen, dass wichtige Prozesse blockiert werden könnten. Zudem finden schon jetzt sehr viele Abstimmungen statt.
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
The target number of 100,000 male and female soldiers should actually be sufficient and an increase would be considered in many solutions at the expense of civilian service.
Der Sollbestand von 100'000 Soldaten und Soldatinnen sollte eigentlich ausreichen und eine Erhöhung wäre bei vielen Lösungen auf Kosten des Zivildienstes angedacht.
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
Selective cooperation can be useful in order to benefit from each other's expertise. Neutrality must be maintained.
Punktuelle Zusammenarbeit kann sinnvoll sein, um von gegenseitigem Fachwissen zu profitieren. Die Neutralität gilt es zu wahren.
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
The example of Ukraine shows that there are situations in which, for moral reasons, one should stand behind the victim of an aggressor.
Das Beispiel der Ukraine zeigt, dass es Situationen gibt, in welchen man sich aus moralischen Gründen hinter das Opfer eines Aggressors stellen sollte.
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?

Comment
The effects of this technology are still very unclear and associated with great risks.
Die Auswirkungen dieser Technologie sind noch sehr unklar und mit grossen Risiken verbunden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The Schengen Agreement is also in the interest of Switzerland and should be maintained.
Das Schengen-Abkommen ist auch im Interesse der Schweiz und soll beibehalten werden.
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
The current situation is harmful for Switzerland. A rapprochement with the EU (without joining the EU) is necessary.
Die jetzige Situation ist für die Schweiz schädlich. Eine Annäherung zur EU (ohne EU-Beitritt) ist notwendig.
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
In principle, a free trade agreement with the USA could bring advantages for Switzerland. However, Swiss agriculture is to be promoted.
Grundsätzlich könnte eine Freihandelsabkommen mit den USA Vorteile für die Schweiz mit sich bringen. Allerdings soll die Schweizer Landwirtschaft gefördert werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Ethical business is central.
Ethisches Wirtschaften ist zentral.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland also benefits from the free movement of persons.
Auch die Schweiz profitiert von der Personenfreizügigkeit.
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
Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine has shown that a "strict interpretation" is neither meaningful nor internationally accepted. In an interconnected world with newly emerging powers, such an interpretation is impossible to implement.
Der Angriffskrieg Russlands gegen die Ukraine hat gezeigt, dass eine “strikte Auslegung” weder sinnvoll noch international akzeptiert ist. In einer vernetzen Welt mit neu aufstrebenden Mächten ist solch eine Auslegung unmöglich umzusetzen.

A free market economy can lead to growth in prosperity, but it can also lead to rising inequality. It remains an important task of the state to counteract a further widening of the gap between rich and poor.

For a child's development, it is valuable if parents can take care of the upbringing - but this does not have to be a single parent. Other family members and professional external care could also ensure good development.
Für die Entwicklung eines Kindes ist es wertvoll, wenn die Eltern sich um die Erziehung kümmern können – dies muss aber nicht ein einzelnes Elternteil sein. Auch weitere Familienmitglieder und professionelle externe Betreuungen könnten eine gute Entwicklung sicherstellen.

Comment
The financing of the AHV is at risk in the long term as life expectancy increases. endangered. A moderate increase in the retirement age with exceptions for physically demanding professions is therefore probably unavoidable, but should be accompanied by financial compensatory measures (e.g. more federal finances into the AHV).
Die Finanzierung der AHV ist mit der steigenden Lebenserwartung langfristig gefährdet. Eine moderate Erhöhung des Rentenalters mit Ausnahmen für körperlich belastende Berufe ist deshalb vermutlich unausweichlich, sollte aber mit finanziellen Ausgleichsmassnahmen erfolgen (z.B. mehr Bundesfinanzen in die AHV).
