Welfare state & family
Raise the retirement age 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Une telle suppression devrait toutefois être intégrée dans une réforme plus générale des droits et obligations liés à l'état civil.
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
Le système actuel prétérite les jeunes et les personnes disposant d'un petit patrimoine de prévoyance, en particulier les femmes. Il faut le réformer.
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
Je suis favorable à un congé parental.
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
C'est une question qui doit être abordée au niveau cantonal.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Une augmentation de la franchise minimale ne me paraît pas la meilleure solution. En revanche, une plus grande participation aux frais, en compensation à une franchises basse jusqu'à un certain plafond, pourrait être envisagée.
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
Il n'est pas judicieux de limiter en amont le pouvoir de réaction du Conseil fédéral dans le cas d'une nouvelle crise dont on ne connait pas la forme qu'elle prendra.
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
C'est particulièrement indiqué pour les prestations de pointe. Il faut toutefois laisser une marge de manœuvre aux cantons pour les prestations de base.
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
Je suis plutôt en faveur d'une telle mesure, pour autant que l'État mette les ressources nécessaires à disposition.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Equal opportunities in education
Should the state be more committed to equal educational opportunities (e.g., through subsidized remedial courses for students from low-income families)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Immigration & integration
Make naturalization requirements more flexible
Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Je suis en faveur de faciliter, voire d'automatiser la naturalisation (avec bien sûr l'option de la refuser pour celles et ceux qui ne la voudraient pas). En particulier, les jeunes qui grandissent en Suisse devraient automatiquement être mis sur la voie de la naturalisation afin qu'arrivés à 18 ans elles et ils possèdent la citoyenneté.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Je suis en revanche en faveur de mesures pour faciliter, voir automatiser, la naturalisation.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Cette légalisation dois s'accompagner de mesures de prévention et de 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
Il convient bien sûr d'encadrer cette pratique de règles très claires, mais on ne peut refuser à une personne en pleine capacité de discernement l'exercice de son libre arbitre dans tous les domaines qui ne concernent qu'elle, dont la fin de sa vie, y compris avec le soutien d'une autre personne, elle-même libre d'y consentir ou non.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
En fait, je suis plutôt favorable à l'abandon de la mention du genre.
Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples
Do you think it's right for same-sex couples to have the same rights as heterosexual couples in all areas?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Finances & taxes
Reduce taxes at the federal level
Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
En revanche, je soutiens les mesures qui permettent une utilisation plus efficiente des deniers publics.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Je serais aussi favorable au splitting intégral pour les couples mariés dans le cadre d'une réforme plus générale des droits et obligations liés à l'état civil (le couple marié formant une unité financière contractuellement solidaire il me parait logique de mesurer sa capacité contributive en fonction de ses revenus globaux).
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
Ma réponse dépend en fait de l'aménagement d'autres impôts en lien avec cette réforme. Sans plus de précision, une simple addition d'un nouvel impôt ne me parait pas judicieux.
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
La solidarité confédérale doit se faire à travers le budget fédéral et les assurances fédérales.
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
Il faudra toutefois veiller à aménager des exceptions (par exemple pour les stages) afin d’éviter la disparition de certains emplois dont on peut admettre qu’ils soient moins rémunérés (par exemple parce que l’employeur forme l’employé).
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
Je suis en particulier en faveur de règles peu nombreuses et simples.
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
Les ménages privés ne sont pas en mesure d'évaluer et d'assumer les risques liés aux incertitudes sur le marché de l'électricité (comme il est impensable de laisser des ménages sans accès à l'électricité, la société devrait alors "sauver" les ménages imprévoyants ou malchanceux, ce qui contrevient au principe de responsabilité qui accompagne toute liberté). On peut toutefois envisager une libéralisation limitée par le biais de communautés locales d'énergie.
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
De manière générale on peut envisager d'assouplir certaines prescriptions. Assouplir la protection contre le bruit en revanche ne me semble pas une bonne idée.
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
Il faut toutefois veiller à ne pas créer d'"usine à gaz" technocratique et en rester à des principes simples et transparents.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Il faut faire des choix et les investissements dans les infrastructures ferroviaires ont ma préférence. Par ailleurs, diverses mesures peuvent être mises en place en parallèle pour réduire le trafic sur les axes autoroutiers, dont le mobility pricing et un aménagement du territoire qui ne repose pas sur l'utilisation exclusive des moyens de transports individuels.
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
Il faut autant que possible miser sur des incitations, mais cela ne peut pas être la seule approche; certaines fois il faut interdire.
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
Il est difficile de répondre de manière générale, mais les règles actuelles permettent déjà de faire beaucoup de choses. On peut toutefois envisager quelques assouplissements au cas par cas.
Authorize the construction of new nuclear power plants
Should the construction of new nuclear power plants in Switzerland be allowed again?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
C'est là un des piliers de la solidarité confédérale. Après, il faut bien sûr mettre cela en œuvre de manière efficiente et intelligente.
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
Ici tout se cache dans les détails, mais sur le principe je suis favorable à une telle incitation.
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
Les dispositions actuelles suffisent pour l'instant. Si les populations de ces grands prédateurs devaient augmenter de manière beaucoup plus importante et créer des problèmes insurmontables, on pourrait alors entre en matière sur un nouvel assouplissement.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Une telle mesure dois toutefois être associée à des mesures de protection contre les produits importés qui seraient produits avec des normes inférieures.
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Ban on single-use plastics
Would you support a ban on single-use plastic and non-recyclable plastics? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
La SSR doit continuer à jouer son rôle de service public et à contribuer à la cohésion du pays. Il faut donc lui donner les moyens nécessaires à cette mission. On peut néanmoins envisager de revoir son mandat ou si nécessaire mieux le définir.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Je serais plutôt favorable à une progression de l'âge du droit de vote en fonction du niveau de démocratie (commune, canton, Confédération).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Je suis en revanche en faveur d'un "service fédéral" (service militaire ou civil) obligatoire pour les femmes et les hommes.
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Re-export of Swiss weapons
Should the Federal Council be allowed to authorize other states to re-export Swiss weapons in cases of a war of aggression in violation of international law (e.g., the attack on Ukraine)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Pour autant que ces armes aient été acquise un certain nombre d'années (à déterminer) avant le conflit.

|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Toutefois, si les droits de douane devaient baisser sur les produits agricoles importés, il faudrait s'assurer que les normes suisses s'appliquent aux produits importés et que les externalités environnementales soient traitées de manière équivalente (transport compris).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU

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

| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |

Comment
J'ai une préférence pour les systèmes simples et de nature universelle, plutôt que pour les systèmes de prévoyance très bureaucratiques. Je serai en particulier en faveur d'une augmentation des rentes AVS.

Comment
On peut réfléchir à comment accompagner l'augmentation de l'espérance de vie en incitant celles et ceux qui le peuvent à continuer à travailler plus longtemps, mais en ce qui concerne en tous cas l'AVS, le socle de base universel de notre système de prévoyance, 65 ans me paraît déjà assez élevé au regard de la multiplicité des parcours de vie.
