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
Rising health insurance premiums are weighing heavily on the shoulders of many people, particularly low- and middle-income households. The Federal Council's indirect counter-proposal to the SP's "maximum 10% of income for health insurance premiums" initiative, currently under discussion in the chambers, should enable the cantons to make a greater contribution to reducing health insurance premiums, which I support.
L'augmentation des primes maladie pèse sur les épaules de nombreuses personnes, en particulier pour les ménages à bas ou moyens revenus. Le contre-projet indirect du Conseil fédéral à l'initiative du PS "maximum 10% du revenu pour les primes d'assurance-maladie", actuellement en discussion dans les chambres, devrait permettre à ce que les cantons participent davantage aux réductions des primes d'assurance-maladie, ce que je soutiens.
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
Removing the ceiling reinforces the advantage of marriage over other life models. However, removing the cap could be one piece of the puzzle among others in a comprehensive revision of civil status rights and obligations, which would make the project acceptable to me.
La suppression du plafonnement renforce l'avantage du mariage par rapport à d'autres modèles de vie. La suppression du plafonnement pourrait toutefois être une pièce du puzzle parmi d'autres dans le cadre d'une révision globale des droits et obligations liés à l'état civil, ce qui rendrait le projet acceptable pour moi.
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
For decades, the excessively high conversion rate has led to an opaque redistribution in the second pillar. Young people and people with small pension assets, particularly women, are paying the price.
Le taux de conversion trop élevé provoque depuis des décennies une redistribution opaque dans le deuxième pilier. Ce sont les jeunes et les personnes disposant d'un petit patrimoine de prévoyance, en particulier les femmes, qui en paient le prix.
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
In Fribourg, I have tabled a popular motion along these lines, based on the cantonal Green-Liberal initiative on parental leave, which was accepted by the people of Geneva.
J'ai par ailleurs déposé à Fribourg une motion populaire allant dans ce sens en me basant sur l'initiative cantonale vert'libérale sur le congé parental, acceptée par la population genevoise.
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
An increase in the number of affordable housing units cannot be achieved through increased regulation, but through more active land use planning, high-quality densification, more efficient, needs-based housing, and simpler, faster procedures. The aim is to achieve a high quality of housing in a Switzerland where distances between living and working areas are short, and where natural and recreational areas are accessible without obstacles.
Une augmentation du nombre de logements abordables ne peut pas résulter pas d'une réglementation accrue, mais d'un aménagement du territoire plus actif, d'une densification de qualité, d'un habitat plus efficace et adapté aux besoins, ainsi que de procédures plus simples et plus rapides. L'objectif est une qualité de logement élevée dans une Suisse où les distances entre lieux de vie et de travail sont courtes et où les espaces naturels et de détente sont accessibles sans obstacles.
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
In the context of the Covid pandemic, for example, I argued in favor of a faster pace in the vaccination strategy, but not in favor of compulsory vaccination. Sufficiently high vaccination rates must be achieved through persuasion, not coercion.
Dans le contexte de la pandémie de Covid, par exemple, je me suis prononcé en faveur d'un rythme plus soutenu dans la stratégie de vaccination, mais pas pour une vaccination obligatoire. Il faut atteindre des taux de vaccination suffisamment élevés par un travail de persuasion et non par la contrainte.
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
I'd be more in favor of a tax on environmentally unfriendly products.
Je serai plus en faveur d'une taxe sur les produits irrespectueux de l'environnement.
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
In principle, individual responsibility should also be strengthened in the area of healthcare costs, but in view of the heavy burden that health insurance premiums place on households, I am committed to a targeted expansion of premium reduction.
La responsabilité individuelle doit en principe être renforcée dans le domaine des coûts de la santé également, mais compte tenu de la charge importante que représentent les primes d'assurance maladie pour les ménages, je m'engage pour un développement ciblé de la réduction des primes.
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
Experience shows that, in the event of a crisis, the Confederation and the cantons must be able to resort to temporary measures quickly, but that politics must be able to play a corrective role. It makes no sense to proactively limit the room for maneuver.
L'expérience montre qu'en cas de crise, la Confédération et les cantons doivent pouvoir recourir rapidement à des mesures temporaires, mais que la politique doit pouvoir jouer un rôle correctif. Il n'est pas judicieux de limiter de manière proactive la marge de manoeuvre.
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
Dealing with 26 cantonal healthcare systems in a country as small as Switzerland means high costs. Given the small size of our territory and the large number of extra-cantonal hospital stays, regional hospital planning would be more efficient and cost-effective. At present, the cantons largely carry out their own planning, and the potential for coordination is by no means exhausted.
Composer avec 26 systèmes de santé cantonaux dans un pays aussi petit que la Suisse occasionne des coûts élevés. Notre territoire étant petit et les séjours hospitaliers extra-cantonaux nombreux, une planification hospitalière régionale serait plus efficace et plus économe. Actuellement, les cantons effectuent les planifications en très grande partie seuls, et le potentiel de coordination n'est de loin pas épuisé.
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 integrative schooling. However, it must focus on children's individual needs. It must be accompanied by a strengthening of the quality of the school system and the skills of teachers.
Je soutiens l'école intégrative. Celle-ci doit toutefois être axée sur les besoins individuels des enfants. Cela doit s'accompagner d'un renforcement de la qualité du système scolaire et des compétences des enseignant·e·s.
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
I'm in favor of standardizing requirements, but not increasing them.
Je suis favorable à une uniformisation des exigences, mais pas à une augmentation.
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
Every person must be able to realize his or her full potential throughout life. We need to nurture the talents and potential of all children, so that every one of them has the opportunity to lead an independent life. This is why I support the targeted development of support for pupils from socially disadvantaged families, for example in the context of early childhood support.
Il faut que chaque personne puisse réaliser son plein potentiel, et ce tout au long de sa vie. Nous devons encourager les talents et les potentiels de tous les enfants, afin que chacun d'entre eux ait la possibilité de mener une vie autonome. C'est pourquoi je soutiens le développement ciblé de l'aide aux élèves issus de familles socialement défavorisées, par exemple dans le cadre de l'aide à la petite enfance.
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
The mechanism of the "Swiss Makers" is unfortunately still common practice in many cantons - despite the fact that Switzerland has long been a country of immigration, with an internationalized economy and high internal mobility. Liberals place the freedom and self-determination of the individual at the heart of their conception of democracy. They define the people not according to ethnic or cultural criteria, but according to the principle of congruence.
Le mécanisme des «Faiseurs de suisses» est malheureusement encore une pratique courante dans de nombreux cantons - alors même que la Suisse est un pays d'immigration depuis bien longtemps, doté d'une économie internationalisée et d'une grande mobilité interne. Les libéraux placent la liberté et l'autodétermination de l'individu au centre de leur conception démocratique. Ils définissent le peuple non pas en fonction de critères ethniques ou culturels, mais en fonction du principe de congruence.
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
Quotas must be tailored to the specific needs of the various economic sectors. In addition, administrative obstacles must be reduced. Third-country nationals graduating from a Swiss university or college must be able to make professional use of the expertise they have acquired in Switzerland, and make it available to society and the economy.
Les contingents doivent être aménagés en fonction des besoins spécifiques des divers secteurs économiques. En outre, les obstacles administratifs doivent absolument être réduits. Aussi, les personnes originaires de pays tiers qui obtiennent un diplôme d'une haute école ou d'une école supérieure en Suisse doivent pouvoir utiliser professionnellement l'expertise qu'elles ont acquise sur le territoire helvétique afin de la mettre à disposition de la société et de l'économie.
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
I welcome EU member states' plans to reform asylum procedures at external borders, paving the way for greater solidarity between member states. I reject the idea that asylum procedures should take place in administrative centers located outside European territory.
Je salue les projets de réforme des États membres de l'UE concernant de nouvelles procédures d'asile aux frontières extérieures, ouvrant la voie à une plus grande solidarité entre les États membres. Je refuse que les procédures d'asile se déroulent dans des centres administratifs situés en dehors du territoire de l'Europe.
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 |

Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Since repression has proved ineffective in dealing with drug addicts, it would be better to legalize soft drugs such as cannabis, and tax them in the same way as tobacco and alcohol, without neglecting the protection of minors.
La répression ne s’avérant pas efficace face aux toxicomanes, il vaudrait mieux légaliser les drogues douces comme le cannabis, et les imposer fiscalement, comme le sont aujourd’hui le tabac et l’alcool, sans négliger la protection des mineurs.
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
In 2021, around 1,400 people used the services of EXIT Deutsche Schweiz and EXIT Suisse romande (973 in the German- and Italian-speaking regions and 422 in the French-speaking region) and around 200 used those of Dignitas. If the doctor has no alternative to preserve human dignity and the patient's wishes, he or she should be able to act.
En 2021, environ 1’400 personnes ont fait appel aux services de EXIT Deutsche Schweiz et EXIT Suisse romande (973 dans les régions germanophones et italophones et 422 dans la région francophone) et environ 200 à ceux de Dignitas. Si le médecin n’a pas d’alternative pour préserver la dignité humaine et la volonté du ou de la patient.e, il devrait pouvoir agir.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
From a liberal point of view, the best solution would simply be to drop the mention of gender: not only would this put an end to discrimination against intersex people, it would also make it impossible to treat men and women unequally under the law.
D'un point de vue libéral, la meilleure solution resterait simplement l'abandon de la mention du genre : non seulement elle mettrait fin à la discrimination des personnes intersexuées, mais elle rendrait impossible l'inégalité juridique de traitement entre hommes et femmes.
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
Marriage for all has been a Green Liberal hobbyhorse for years, and was introduced thanks to a Parliamentary Initiative by National Council member Katrhin Bertschy.
Le Mariage pour toutes et tous a été un cheval de bataille des vert’libéraux depuis des années et il fut introduit grâce à une Initiative Parlementaire de l'élue au Conseil national Katrhin Bertschy.
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
Given the structural deficit, tax cuts are not appropriate in the current financial situation. However, we must support major tax reforms, such as individual taxation.
Compte tenu du déficit structurel, les baisses d'impôts ne sont pas appropriées dans la situation financière actuelle. Il faut toutefois à soutenir des réformes fiscales importantes, comme l'imposition individuelle.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
With the current tax burden on married couples, Switzerland's labor potential is far from being fully utilized. Indeed, the tax burden on the second salary eats away a large part of the additional income. This deprives the labor market of many skills. As second-income progression mainly penalizes women, individual taxation is also an essential step towards gender equality.
Avec la charge fiscale pesant actuellement sur les couples mariés, le potentiel de main-d'œuvre de la Suisse est loin d'être pleinement utilisé. En effet, la charge fiscale sur le deuxième salaire ronge une grande partie du revenu supplémentaire. Cela prive le marché du travail de nombreuses compétences. Comme la progression sur les deuxièmes revenus pénalise principalement les femmes, l'imposition individuelle est également une étape indispensable pour l'égalité homme-femmes.
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
Inheritance favors the enrichment of those who already have a large fortune, disadvantaging the less fortunate and thus weighing on social reproduction. Inequality exists because inherited wealth is not itself distributed equitably at birth. There is no meritocracy, dear to liberals, in inheritance, especially if the inherited fortune is large.
La succession favorise l'enrichissement des personne possédant déjà un grand patrimoine, désavantage les moins favorisés et pèse donc sur la reproduction sociale. L'inégalité existe puisque le patrimoine hérité n'est pas lui-même réparti de manière équitable à la naissance. Il n'y a pas de méritocratie, chère aux libéraux, dans la succession, surtout si la fortune héritée est grande.
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
In the context of the OECD minimum tax and the distribution of additional revenues, the Green'liberals had advocated a 50/50 split between the Confederation and the cantons. However, under the new proposal, 75% of the revenue will go to the canton in which the company is based. With this gain, it is clear that financial equalization needs to be reviewed.
Dans le contexte de l'imposition minimale de l'OCDE et de la répartition des recettes supplémentaires, les Vert'libéraux avions préconisé une répartition 50/50 entre la Confédération et les cantons. Or, le projet prévoit que 75% des recettes reviennent au canton dans lequel l'entreprise a son siège. Avec ce gain, il est clair que la péréquation financière doit être revue.
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
I'd be more open to cantonal minimum wages under certain conditions, but a federal minimum wage would be unbearable for cantons with the lowest standards of living. The risk of self-inflicted inflation is high with a national solution.
Je serai déjà plus ouvert à des salaires minimaux cantonaux sous certaines conditions, mais un salaire minimal fédéral serait insupportable pour les cantons aux niveaux de vie les moins chers. Le risque d'une inflation auto-infligée est grand avec une solution nationale.
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
For systemically important banks, more stringent capital and liquidity requirements should be considered. The same applies to all other measures aimed at improving bank stability and resilience. We also need to introduce a system of individual responsibility for the top management of systemically important banks (e.g., the Senior Managers Regime as in the UK).
Pour les banques d'importance systémique, il faut envisager des prescriptions plus strictes en matière de fonds propres et de liquidités. Il en va de même pour toutes les autres mesures visant à améliorer la stabilité et la résilience des banques. Nous devons aussi introduire un système de responsabilité individuelle pour le top management des banques d'importance systémique (par exemple, le Senior Managers Regime comme au Royaume-Uni).
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
In the context of the revision of the Energy Act and the Electricity Supply Act currently before Parliament, full market liberalization is not advisable because of the risk of political slippage. A small amount of liberalization has been achieved through local energy communities. In this sense, I'd be more in favor of liberalizing storage, provided that rules exist to ensure safety and prevent unfair competition.
Dans le cadre de la révision de la loi sur l'énergie et de la loi sur l'approvisionnement en électricité qui est en cours d'examen au Parlement, l'ouverture totale du marché n'est pas opportune en raison du risque de dérapage politique. Une petite libéralisation a été réalisée par le biais des communautés locales d’énergie. En ce sens, je serai plus en faveur d'une libéralisation du stockage, pour autant que des règles de sécurité et de prévention de concurrence déloyale existent.
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
Noise protection legislation is strict - and rightly so - when it comes to building in noise-exposed areas; that said, it is also in the interests of inward densification of the built environment that such building zones can be used judiciously. If a ventilation window is not applied in practice, there will be building bans under noise protection legislation and underutilized plots of land.
La législation sur la protection contre le bruit est stricte - à juste titre - s'agissant des constructions dans des zones exposées au bruit ; cela dit, il est aussi dans l'intérêt de la densification vers l'intérieur du milieu bâti que de telles zones à bâtir puissent être utilisées judicieusement. Si on n'applique pas la pratique une fenêtre d'aération, il y aura des interdictions de construire en vertu de la législation sur la protection contre le bruit et des parcelles sous-utilisées.
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
In 2020, the wage gap between men and women stood at 18% for the economy as a whole (private and public), 47.8% of which remained unexplained by objective criteria. Switzerland has not yet achieved pay equality, so we must continue our efforts wherever possible.
En 2020, les écarts salariaux entre les hommes et les femmes étaient de 18% pour l'ensemble de l'économie (privée et publique), dont 47,8% demeuraient inexpliqués par des critères objectifs. La Suisse n'a pas encore atteint une égalité salariale, il faut donc poursuivre les efforts autant que faire se peut.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
More freeways mean more traffic jams, more pollution and more costs. On the contrary, we urgently need to develop public transport.
Plus d'autoroutes signifie plus de bouchons, plus de pollutions et plus de dépenses. Il faut au contraire développer d'urgence les transports publiques.
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
An explicit prohibition on registration and a legal framework have advantages for the company: the prohibition creates a binding character and thus planning security. Investments can be targeted and investment errors avoided. The European Parliament in Strasbourg has also just decided to stop allowing combustion engine cars from 2035.
Une interdiction d'immatriculation explicite et un cadre juridique présente des avantages pour la : l'interdiction crée un caractère obligatoire et donc une sécurité de planification. Les investissements peuvent être ciblés et les erreurs d'investissement évitées. Une prescription contraignante est donc économique dans ce cas précis.Le Parlement européen à Strasbourg vient également de décider de ne plus autoriser les voitures à moteur à combustion 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
If our descendants are to enjoy a fulfilling life, we must avoid leaving them with unbearable ecological and financial burdens. To achieve this, the Greens want to use incentives first and foremost, and only if necessary, prescriptions or bans.
Pour que nos descendants puissent mener une existence épanouie, nous devons éviter de leur laisser des charges écologiques et financières insupportables. Pour cela, les Vert'libéraux veulent recourir en premier lieu à des incitations et, uniquement si nécessaire, à des prescriptions ou des interdictions.
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
It's particularly in the field of hydropower that the need to strike a balance between nature conservation and the development of renewable energies is most prevalent. The use of hydropower alters watercourses and disrupts natural habitats. The effects of hydropower development are often irreversible. For these reasons, I prefer to develop existing watercourses and areas.
C'est en particulier dans le domaine de l'énergie hydraulique que la nécessité d’arbitrer entre la protection la nature et le développement des énergies renouvelables est la plus courante. L'exploitation de l'énergie hydraulique modifie les cours d'eau et perturbe les habitats naturels. Les effets de l'exploitation de la force hydraulique sont souvent irréversibles. Pour ces raisons, je privilégie l'aménagement des cours d'eau et des espaces déjà existants.
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
To revive nuclear power, the law would have to be changed to allow the construction of new plants, which would take five years, including the referendum. Assuming there is then a company willing to take on the project, it would take a decade of preparatory work to obtain authorization, which would itself be subject to a referendum. Finally, the plant would have to be built, which would take at least fifteen years. And let's not forget the appeals from associations. It's a pipe dream
Pour relancer le nucléaire, il faudrait modifier la loi pour permettre la construction de nouvelles centrales, ce qui prendrait cinq ans, référendum compris. En admettant qu’il se trouve ensuite une entreprise désireuse de se saisir du projet, il faudrait une décennie de préparatifs pour arriver à l’autorisation, elle-même soumise à référendum. Enfin, il s’agirait de construire la centrale, ce qui prendrait au moins quinze ans. N'oublions pas les recours des associations enfin. C'est une chimère
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
What counts is intelligent implementation. For example, there are alternatives to post offices. What counts is the service, not how it's delivered.
Ce qui compte, c'est une mise en oeuvre intelligente. Par exemple, il existe des alternatives aux bureaux de poste. Ce qui compte, c'est le service et non la manière dont il est fourni.
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
It all depends on the layout (green vs. dirty electricity, guaranteeing social compatibility, etc.), but in principle, I'm in favor of such an incentive.
Tout dépend de l'aménagement (électricité verte vs électricité sale, garantie de la compatibilité sociale, etc.), mais en principe, je suis favorables à une telle incitation.

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 predators are essential to biodiversity: it's in our interest to protect them and, on the contrary, to extend their protection.
Les grands prédateurs sont essentiels à la biodiversité: leur protection est dans notre intérêt, il faudrait au contraire l'étendre.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Ecology should become a real criterion rather than a "bonus". Nevertheless, in order to maintain a genuine regional agriculture and not an imported market, producers must be accompanied at their own pace in this process. As far as agriculture is concerned, the big distributors who abuse their place on the market are doing too much damage, and transparency of their margins should be a priority (in a duopoly, business secrecy makes no sense).
L'écologie devrait devenir un véritable critère plus qu'un "bonus", néanmoins, afin de maintenir une véritable agriculture régionale et non un marché importé, les producteurs et productrices doivent être accompagné.e.s à leur rythme dans cette démarche. En ce qui concerne l'agriculture, les grands distributeurs qui abusent de leur place sur le marché font trop de dégâts et la transparence de leurs marges devrait être une priorité (dans un duopole, le secret d'affaire ne fait pas sens).
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
We need to ensure that animals are regularly released into the open air, that herds are kept to a maximum size, that slaughtering limits their suffering, and that imports of animals and animal products are subject to compulsory declaration.
Il faut garantir des sorties régulières des animaux en plein air, une taille maximale des troupeaux, un abattage qui limite leurs souffrances ainsi qu'une obligation de déclaration pour l'importation d'animaux et de produits d’origine animale.

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
If reuse systems and sector-specific solutions don't bear fruit, we'll have to discuss bans or deposit fees. In Switzerland, 14,000 tonnes of plastic are still dumped into the environment every year.
Si les systèmes de réutilisation et les solutions sectorielles ne portent pas leurs fruits, nous devrons discuter d'interdictions ou de taxes de dépôt. En Suisse, 14'000 tonnes de plastique sont encore déversées chaque année dans l'environnement.
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
We need to develop the circular economy in Switzerland: reusing is better than recycling, which is better than throwing away. These principles need to be systematized.
Il faut développer l'économie circulaire en Suisse: réutiliser est mieux que recycler, qui est mieux que jeter. Ces principes doivent être systématisés.
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
Thanks to the higher efficiency of 5G, it is possible to save a great deal of energy when transmitting data. 5G offers significant opportunities, for example, to reduce the use of pesticides in agriculture through intelligent cultivation systems. However, its expansion must not take precedence over a form of energy sobriety that must accompany it.
Grâce à l'efficacité plus élevée de la 5G, il est possible d'économiser beaucoup d'énergie lors de la transmission des données. La 5G offre des possibilités importantes, par exemple pour réduire l'utilisation des pesticides dans l'agriculture grâce à des systèmes de culture intelligents. Son extension ne doit toutefois pas prendre le pas sur une forme de sobriété énergétique qui doit l'accompagner.
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
Legislative reforms are needed to ensure the rapid development of digital infrastructure, which is the only way to lay the foundations for the efficient use of resources in transport, energy supply and agriculture.
Des réformes législatives sont nécessaires au développement rapide de l'infrastructure numérique, seule à même de poser les bases d’une utilisation efficace des ressources dans les domaines du transport, de l'approvisionnement en énergie et de l'agriculture.
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
In the event of market failure, we call for systematic application of the Cartel Act. We are opposed to reserve regulation, which could have negative effects (for example, by hampering innovation).

Media diversity, quality journalism and regional media are essential for a direct, federal and multilingual democracy like Switzerland. When it comes to media support, innovation is undoubtedly needed, but not this reduction.
La diversité des médias, le journalisme de qualité et les médias régionaux sont essentiels pour une démocratie directe, fédérale et plurilingue comme la Suisse. En matière de soutien aux médias, il faut incontestablement des innovations, mais pas cette réduction.

Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

If I reject outright integration into NATO. However, in order to guarantee the country's global defense capability in the event of an attack in the current context, Switzerland must participate in the European security architecture by strengthening its cooperation with the EU and NATO.
Si je refuse une intégration pure et simple à l'OTAN. Toutefois, afin de pouvoir garantir une capacité de défense globale du pays en cas d'attaque dans le contexte actuel, la Suisse doit participer à l'architecture de sécurité européenne en renforçant sa coopération avec l'UE et l'OTAN.
Re-export of Swiss weapons

Switzerland must allow the re-export of armaments to democratic states which are victims of attacks in violation of international law. Otherwise, Switzerland must not export arms to belligerent countries, or to countries in a state of civil war, or which themselves systematically violate human rights.
La Suisse doit permettre la réexportation du matériel d'armement vers des États démocratiques qui sont victimes d’attaques en violation du droit international. Sinon, la Suisse ne doit pas exporter de biens d'armement vers des pays belligérants, ni vers des pays en situation de guerre civile ou qui violent eux-mêmes systématiquement les droits de l'Homme.

Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland needs a solid, modern interpretation of the law of neutrality. In the event of a violation of international law, it must therefore give greater weight to measures that contribute to the defense of our security and these values than to a possible violation of a traditionally understood law of neutrality. Switzerland must also be committed to the ongoing development of public international law in line with universal rights and values.
La Suisse a besoin d'une interprétation solide et moderne du droit de la neutralité. En cas de violation du droit international, elle doit donc accorder plus de poids aux mesures qui contribuent à la défense de notre sécurité et de ces valeurs qu'à une éventuelle violation d'un droit de la neutralité compris de manière traditionnelle. La Suisse doit s’engager en outre à développer en permanence le droit international public dans le sens des valeurs et des droits universels.

This statement can be interpreted in many different ways, which is why there is no recommendation. Redistribution by the state is a necessary means, but not an end in itself. It is true that redistribution reduces differences in income and wealth. But "compensate" is a somewhat ambiguous formulation.
On peut interpréter cette déclaration de différentes manières, c'est pourquoi il n'y a pas de recommandation. La redistribution par l'État est un moyen nécessaire, mais pas une fin en soi. Certes, la redistribution permet de réduire les différences de revenus et de fortune. Mais "compenser" est une formulation quelque peu ambiguë.

Punishment is costly, brings only the satisfaction of revenge, and radicalizes criminals even further. It's better to work on reintegration.

For us, ambitious environmental protection and a strong economy go hand in hand. In the medium and long term, inadequate environmental protection also has a negative impact on the economy or economic growth (destruction of natural resources, loss of biodiversity, adverse effects on health, etc.). I'd rather talk about sobriety than degrowth.
Pour nous, une protection de l'environnement ambitieuse et une économie forte vont de pair. À moyen et long terme, une protection de l'environnement déficiente a également un impact négatif sur l'économie ou la croissance économique (destruction de ressources naturelles, perte de biodiversité, effets néfastes sur la santé, etc.). Je parlerai plus volontiers de sobriété que de décroissance.

Demographic trends are increasingly destabilizing the pension system. The aim is to reduce the redistribution from workers to pensioners, while maintaining pension levels. To achieve this, the retirement age needs to be adapted and made more flexible, taking into account industry-specific conditions: it should be possible to retire later (e.g. at 67), just as it should be possible to retire earlier (e.g. at 60).
La prévoyance vieillesse est de plus en plus déséquilibrée par l'évolution démographique. L'objectif est de réduire la redistribution des travailleurs vers les retraités tout en maintenant le niveau des rentes. Pour ce faire, il est nécessaire d'adapter et de flexibiliser l'âge de la retraite en tenant compte des conditions spécifiques aux branches: ainsi, il devrait être possible de partir plus tard (p.ex. 67 ans) à la retraite comme il devrait être possible de partir plus tôt (p.ex. 60 ans).
