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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Lowering the minimum conversion rate is the result of a compromise. It reduces the annual redistribution to the detriment of the working population, to guarantee a form of intergenerational equity. At the same time, it improves pension provision for young people, women, part-time workers and the middle class, thanks to a reduction in the coordination deduction. It is also accompanied by a standardization of salary deductions from the age of 45,
La baisse du taux de conversion minimal est le fruit d'un compromis. Elle diminue la redistribution annuelle qui se fait au détriment de la population active pour garantir une forme d'équité intergénérationnelle. En parallèle, elle améliore notamment la prévoyance des jeunes, des femmes, des travailleurs à temps partiel et de la classe moyenne, grâce à une réduction de la déduction de coordination. Elle est aussi accompagnée d'une uniformisation des déductions salariales dès 45 ans,
Extend parental leave
Should paid parental leave be increased beyond today's 14 weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of paternity leave? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Further encourage the construction of social housing
Should the federal government provide more financial support for public housing construction? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Public housing is effective, but should not form the core of development policy. What's more, they can be built by cooperatives, even private ones, which often do it better than the state.
Les logements d'utilité publique sont efficaces mais ne doivent pas constituer le cœur de la politique d'aménagement. Par ailleurs, ils peuvent être construits par des coopératives, même privées, qui le font souvent mieux que l'État.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
With a view to reducing healthcare costs, I'm in favor of such a tax, as well as on alcohol and tobacco, with the aim of channelling the proceeds directly back into the healthcare system for provision and/or treatment, in order to reduce our health insurance premiums.
Dans un objectif de diminution des coûts de la santé, je suis favorable à une telle taxe, ainsi que sur l'alcool et le tabac, dans l'objectif de reverser les produits directement dans le système de santé pour de la prévoyance et/ou du traitement, afin de diminuer nos primes d'assurance maladie.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 manœuvre.
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
The Greens have long been committed to limiting redundancies and inefficiencies in the healthcare sector, as demonstrated by our motions 18.3294 and 20.4093, which aimed to better coordinate capacity between hospitals in order to manage excess capacity. A global and coordinated vision of our territory and needs would undeniably bring benefits in terms of efficiency and therefore costs.
Les Vert'libéraux s'engagent depuis longtemps afin de limiter les redondances et les inefficiences dans le domaine de la santé, comme le démontraient nos motions 18.3294 et 20.4093 qui visaient à mieux coordonner les capacités entre les centres hospitaliers afin de gérer les capacités excédentaires. Une vision globale et coordonnée de notre territoire et des besoins permettrait indéniablement des bénéfices en termes d'efficience et donc de coûts.
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
In principle, the idea of an inclusive school should be supported, but the quality of implementation is key. Schools must be adequately resourced, teaching staff equipped to face these challenges, and the school system of sufficient quality. Inspiration from certain approaches in private schools could help move this issue forward.
Sur le principe, l'idée de l'école intégrative doit être soutenu mais la qualité d'exécution est clé. Les établissements doivent être suffisamment dotés, le corps enseignant outillé à faire face à ces défis, et le système scolaire d'une qualité suffisante. S'inspirer de certaines démarches dans les écoles privées pourrait faire avancer cette question.
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
It would make more sense to standardize requirements than to increase them. Furthermore, the integration of disciplines that are indispensable in a constantly changing world, particularly those linked to digitization, must take place. As for the rest, the maturité gymnasiale has nothing to be ashamed of in international comparison.
Il serait plus pertinent d'uniformiser les exigences que de les augmenter. Par ailleurs, l'intégration de disciplines indispensables dans un monde en constante évolution, notamment liées à a la numérisation, doit avoir lieu. Pour le reste, la maturité gymnasiale n'a pas à rougir de ses exigences en comparaison internationale.
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 opportunity is an essential pillar of a liberal, democratic world. It benefits individuals who are offered opportunities that their socio-economic background would otherwise deprive them of, as well as society, which benefits from their talents and hard work.
L'égalité des chances est un pilier indispensable au bon fonctionnement d'un monde libéral et démocratique. Il est bénéfique pour les personnes qui se voient offrir des opportunités dont leurs origines socioéconomiques les auraient privées, comme pour la société qui bénéficie ainsi de leurs talents et de leur travail.
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
Switzerland is a country of immigration, with an internationalized economy and high levels of internal mobility. As a liberal, I place the freedom and self-determination of the individual at the center. People are not defined by ethnic or cultural criteria, but by active, integrated participation. In this sense, length of residence is a far less relevant criterion than the willingness to participate actively in the life of our country and the ability to integrate.
La Suisse est un pays d'immigration, doté d'une économie internationalisée et d'une grande mobilité interne. En tant que libéral, je place la liberté et l'autodétermination de l'individu au centre. Le peuple ne se définit pas en fonction de critères ethniques ou culturels, mais en fonction de la participation active et intégrée. En ce sens, le délai de résidence est un critère bien moins pertinent que la volonté de participer activement à la vie de notre pays et la capacité d'intégration.
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
Switzerland needs qualified people from third countries. Our economy thrives on the contributions of people from abroad, who keep our country's engine running by setting up businesses, working and contributing to cultural enrichment. The liberal ideal would like to see absolute freedom of movement, but this is impossible to achieve at present. Failing that, an increase in the quota is a step in the right direction.
La Suisse a besoin de personnes qualifiées issues d'États tiers. Notre économie se nourrit des apports des personnes issues de l'étranger qui contribuent ainsi à faire tourner le moteur de notre pays, en créant des entreprises, en travaillant, ou en contribuant à l'enrichissement culturel notamment. L'idéal libéral voudrait une liberté de mouvement absolue, inapplicable à l'heure actuelle. À défaut, une augmentation du contingent permet de s'en rapprocher.
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
This inhumane proposal would mean offloading a problem by re-exposing people in need of assistance to danger.
Cette proposition inhumaine consisterait à se décharger d'un problème en réexposant à des dangers des personnes qui ont précisément besoin d'assistance.
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
Despite my opposition to consumption, I am in favor of legalizing and regulating all drugs, with the aim of strengthening prevention and better understanding/monitoring consumption behavior. In addition to helping addicts, this would be an opportunity to reduce healthcare costs in the long term and combat problematic upstream supply chains, which cause enormous suffering.
Malgré mon opposition à la consommation, je suis favorable à une légalisation et une régulation de toutes les drogues, dans l'objectif de renforcer la prévention et de mieux comprendre/suivre les comportements de consommation. En plus de venir en aide aux personnes dépendantes, ce serait l'occasion de diminuer les coûts de la santé sur le long terme et de combattre les chaînes d'approvisionnement problématiques en amont, qui engendrent d'énormes souffrances.
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
A person suffering terribly must be able to end his or her life on his or her own terms, without judgment from society or the state. Freedom that does not threaten the freedom or integrity of another person need not be restricted.
Une personne souffrant terriblement doit pouvoir mettre fin à ses jours en ses propres termes, sans jugement de la société ou de l'État. Une liberté qui ne menace pas la liberté ou l'intégrité d'une autre personne n'a pas à être restreinte.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Dropping gender altogether would undoubtedly be an even more appropriate measure. Failing that, the introduction of a third gender for people who do not wish to be identified as "masculine" or "feminine" is a good idea. Ultimately, this is a deeply personal issue, which the state has no business meddling in.
L'abandon total de la mention de genre serait sans doute une mesure encore plus pertinente. À défaut, l'introduction d'un troisième genre pour les personnes qui ne souhaitent pas être identifiées comme "masculin" ou "féminin" est une bonne idée. C'est une question profondément personnelle au final, dont l'État n'a pas à se mêler.
Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples
Do you think it's right for same-sex couples to have the same rights as heterosexual couples in all areas?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Finances & taxes
Reduce taxes at the federal level
Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The Greens have always been committed to individual taxation, which is good for the economy and for gender equality.
Les Vert'libéraux se sont toujours engagés en faveur de l'imposition individuelle, avantageuse pour l'économie et l'égalité des sexes.
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
I'm in favor of a national inheritance tax, but only on condition that the wealth tax is abolished. The two cannot co-exist at the risk of becoming confiscatory. Philosophically, though, I think it's much fairer to tax something we haven't worked for (an estate) than something that is potentially the fruit of our labor or value creation in the broadest sense (wealth).
Je suis favorable à un impôt national sur les successions uniquement à condition de supprimer l'impôt sur la fortune. Les deux ne peuvent pas co-exister au risque de devenir confiscatoires. Philosophiquement ceci dit, j'estime bien plus juste d'imposer quelque chose pour lequel on n'a pas travaillé (une succession) que ce qui est potentiellement le fruit de notre travail ou de notre création de valeur au sens large (la fortune).
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
Unfortunately, financial equalization has a number of perverse effects, encouraging regional sprawl and creating poor tax incentives in "low-capacity" cantons. At the same time, "high-capacity" cantons such as Geneva find themselves having to tax more, even though their residents are already facing higher costs precisely because of the economic attractiveness of their place of residence.
La péréquation financière a malheureusement des effets pervers, encourageant notamment le mitage du territoire, et créant de mauvaises incitations fiscales dans les cantons à "faible capacité". Parallèlement, des cantons à "forte capacité", comme Genève, se retrouvent à devoir davantage imposer alors même que leurs habitants font déjà face à des charges plus élevées en raison, précisément, de l'attractivité économique de leur lieu de résidence.
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
The minimum wage does not solve the problem of precariousness. Low-wage industries are the result of a surplus of workers available to meet demand. By setting a minimum wage, we forgo financing training for these people, so as to offer them other opportunities with higher added value, which would be more useful to society and provide them with better living conditions.
Le salaire minimum ne règle pas le problème de la précarité. Les branches dans lesquelles les salaires sont faibles sont le résultat d’un surplus de travailleurs et travailleuses disponibles pour la demande. En mettant en place un salaire minimum, on renonce à financer des formations pour ces personnes afin de leur offrir d’autres opportunités à plus forte valeur ajoutée, qui seraient plus utiles pour la société et qui leur fourniraient des meilleures conditions de vie.
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
While preserving important elements of our built and tree heritage, as well as biodiversity, we need to find innovative solutions to build accessible, quality housing. Lifting certain restrictions, notably in terms of height, for example, would make it possible to create housing while preserving open spaces. However, quality must remain at the heart of all projects. Noise protection, for example, is paramount.
En s’assurant de préserver les éléments importants du patrimoine bâti comme arboré, ainsi que la biodiversité, nous devons trouver des solutions innovantes afin de construire des logements accessibles et de qualité. La levée de certaines restrictions, notamment en termes de hauteur par exemple, permettrait de créer des logements tout en préservant des espaces de pleine terre. La qualité doit cependant rester au cœur des projets. La protection contre le bruit, par exemple, est primordiale.
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
Widening stretches of road never works to reduce traffic. The priority must be modal shift and optimized use. High-quality infrastructure for other modes of transport (especially rail) must be a priority. In addition, we need to introduce mobility-pricing that respects the user-pays principle, with variable fares based on ridership to limit peak use.
L’élargissement des tronçons ne fonctionne jamais pour réduire le trafic. La priorité doit être le report modal et l'optimisation de l'utilisation. La mise en place d’infrastructures de qualité pour d’autres mode de transport (notamment le rail) doit être une priorité. Par ailleurs, il faut introduire un mobility-pricing respectant le principe d’utilisateur-payeur, avec des tarifs variables en fonction de la fréquentation afin de limiter les pics d’utilisation.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
While incentives and target agreements are indispensable instruments and should be given priority, they must also be accompanied by prohibitions and restrictions where necessary.
Même si les incitations et les conventions d'objectifs sont des instruments indispensables et à prioriser, ils doivent également être accompagnés d'interdictions et de restrictions lorsque cela est nécessaire.
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
Not all rules have to be abandoned. However, it is important to note that many landscape protection measures are not designed to protect the environment. In this sense, they contribute to the depletion of biodiversity while preventing the implementation of projects capable of developing renewable energies.
Toutes les règles ne doivent pas être abandonnées. Cependant, il est important de noter que de nombreuses mesures de protection du paysage ne visent pas à protéger l'environnement. En ce sens, elles contribuent à l'appauvrissement de la biodiversité tout en empêchant la mise en place de projets à même de développer les énergies renouvelables.
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
Nuclear power is too expensive, slow to deploy and poses reliability problems during heat waves, among other things. On the other hand, I'm not opposed to supporting research in this field. Should new technologies emerge, the discussion could be reopened.
Le nucléaire est trop coûteux, lent à déployer et pose des problèmes de fiabilité lors de vagues de chaleur entre autres. Je ne m'oppose en revanche pas au soutien à la recherche dans le domaine. Si de nouvelles technologies venaient à émerger, la discussion pourrait être réouverte.
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
A public service can be provided with intelligent implementation. A post office, for example, is not required to provide a postal service, which can be provided in collaboration with a local business. In this way, a high level of service can be provided at lower cost.
Une offre de service public peut être assurée avec une mise en œuvre intelligente. Un bureau de poste n'est par exemple pas nécessaire pour assurer un service de poste, qui peut être effectué en collaboration avec un commerce local. Ainsi, un haut niveau de service peut être assuré à moindre coût.
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
In principle, I'm in favor of such an incentive, bearing in mind that it depends on the layout (green vs. carbon-based electricity, guaranteeing social compatibility, etc.).
Sur le principe, je suis favorable à une telle incitation, en gardant à l'esprit que cela dépend de l'aménagement (électricité verte vs électricité carbonée, garantie de la compatibilité sociale, etc.).
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 |

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]

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
In Switzerland, 14,000 tonnes of plastic are still dumped into the environment every year. In the short term, reuse systems and sector-specific solutions need to be studied. If this fails, a ban should remain a medium-term objective. We also need to support the development of efficient recycling channels.
En Suisse, 14'000 tonnes de plastique sont encore déversées chaque année dans l'environnement. À court terme, des systèmes de réutilisation et des solutions sectorielles doivent être étudiées. En cas d'échec, l'interdiction doit rester un objectif à moyen terme. La mise en place de filières de recyclage performantes doit, par ailleurs, être soutenue.
More sustainable use of electronic devices
Are you in favour of government measures to make the use of electronic devices more sustainable (e.g., right to repair, extension of warranty period, minimum guaranteed period for software updates)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Democracy, Media & Digitization
Mobile phone network (5G)
Should the Swiss mobile network be equipped throughout the country with the latest technology (currently 5G standard)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Digitizing public services
Should the federal government be given additional powers in the area of digitization of government services in order to be able to impose binding directives and standards on the cantons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Strengthening regulation of big internet platforms
Are you in favor of stronger regulation of the major Internet platforms (i.e., transparency rules on algorithms, increased liability for content, combating disinformation)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The Greens call for systematic application of the Cartel Act. On the other hand, we are opposed to reserve regulation, which could have negative effects (e.g. by hampering innovation). In the digital arena, transparency, particularly regarding algorithms, is necessary in view of the risks in political and public health terms (mental health in particular).
Les Vert'libéraux demandent une application systématique de la loi sur les cartels. Nous sommes en revanche opposés à une réglementation de réserve qui pourrait avoir des effets négatifs (par exemple en entravant l'innovation). En matière numérique, la transparence, notamment sur les algorithmes, est nécessaire compte tenu des risques en termes politique et de santé publique (santé mentale en particulier).
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
Media diversity, quality journalism and regional media are essential for a direct, federal and multilingual democracy like Switzerland. While efficiency gains could undoubtedly be made, reducing the licence fee is probably not the best way to achieve them. Ultra-polarized American-style media landscapes are not desirable.
La diversité des médias, le journalisme de qualité et les médias régionaux sont essentiels pour une démocratie directe, fédérale et plurilingue comme la Suisse. Même si des gains d'efficience pourraient sans doute avoir lieu, la réduction de la redevance n'est probablement pas le meilleur moyen d'y arriver. Les paysages médiatiques ultra polarisés à l'américaine ne sont pas souhaitables.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This has been the practice in Austria for many years without any problems. Young people who are interested in politics must be able to take part in the decisions that affect their future. The argument that young people are impressionable or immature is irrelevant. I've been involved in politics for many years, and I've seen that simplistic thinking can happen at any age.
Cela est pratiqué en Autriche depuis des années sans problème. Les jeunes intéressés par la politique doivent pouvoir prendre part aux décisions qui concernent leur avenir. L’argument de l’influençabilité des jeunes ou de leur immaturité n’est par ailleurs pas pertinent. Cela fait des années que je fais de la politique et tout autant d’années que je constate que les réflexions simplistes peuvent survenir à tout âge.
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending

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 important thing is to have a militia army that is optimally organized and cost-effective. Increasing manpower would be costly and unnecessary.

Comment
Basically, I always support increased economic ties between countries, which are a source of peace, innovation and progress. However, as in the case of the agreement with Indonesia, we must take care to include binding ecological and social criteria.
Sur le fond, je soutiens toujours les accroissements des liens économiques entre pays, qui sont pourvoyeurs de paix, d’innovation et de progrès. Cependant, comme dans le cas de l’accord avec l’Indonésie, il faudra veiller à intégrer des critères écologiques et sociaux contraignants.

The free movement of people is essential to our prosperity and gives us a great deal of freedom. The Greens have always been committed to closer ties between the EU and Switzerland. Today, we advocate membership of the EEA, in the absence of a new framework agreement.
La libre circulation des personnes est indispensable à notre prospérité et nous confère une grande liberté. Les Vert'libéraux se sont toujours engagés en faveur d'un accroissement des liens entre l'UE et la Suisse. Aujourd'hui, nous défendons une adhésion à l'EEE, à défaut d'un nouvel accord-cadre.

First and foremost, the State must ensure equality of opportunity - indispensable in a liberal system - and provide support for those in need. However, it has no vocation to create an egalitarian society, which would be detrimental to personal fulfillment and the prosperity of a society that benefits from the creativity and contributions of each individual.
L’État doit avant tout assurer une égalité des chances et d’opportunités, indispensables dans un système libéral, et s’assurer d’accompagner les personnes dans le besoin. Cependant, il n’a pas vocation à créer une société égalitaire qui serait délétère à l’épanouissement personnel et à la prospérité d’une société qui bénéficie de la créativité et des apports de chaque personne.

Economic prosperity and free markets are compatible with environmental protection, provided the right rules of the game are established. We shouldn't set the two notions against each other, but we should bear in mind that prosperity depends first and foremost on a healthy environment. It cannot function without environmental protection.
La prospérité économique et le libre marché sont compatibles avec la protection de l’environnement à condition d’établir les bonnes règles du jeu. Il ne faut pas opposer ces deux notions mais il faut garder à l’esprit que la prospérité dépend d’un environnement sain avant tout. Elle ne peut fonctionner sans protection de l’environnement.

Agriculture is the most subsidized sector in Switzerland and the most over-represented in parliament, even though it accounts for less than 0.6% of GDP. Current subsidies have a deleterious effect on the environment.

Increasing life expectancy will require various reforms to correct, even partially, the imbalance between working and retired people. To achieve this, several levers will have to be used, including adjusting the reference retirement age. Flexibility will also be necessary, with the aim of giving people more freedom. In return, measures adapted to particularly arduous professions must be adopted.
L'augmentation de l'espérance de vie exigera différentes réformes afin de corriger, même partiellement, le déséquilibre entre personnes actives et à la retraite. Pour ce faire, plusieurs leviers devront être utilisés dont celui de l'adaptation de l'âge de référence de la retraite. La flexibilisation sera également nécessaire dans l'objectif de donner plus de liberté aux personnes. En contrepartie, des mesures adaptées aux métiers particulièrement pénibles doivent être adoptées.
