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
In this respect, I am of the opinion that the maximum 10% of income should cover KVG/LAMAL premiums. Excess costs should be covered by direct federal and cantonal taxes.
Je suis pour ce sujet d'avis que le 10% du revenu doit au maximum couvrir les primes LAMAL. Le surplus des coûts doivent être pris en charge par l'impôt fédéral direct et les impôts cantonaux.
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
There must be a "splitting", i.e. a 200% pension, to avoid sham divorces. The additional cost should be borne by future pensioners, not current pensioners.
Il doit y avoir un "splitting", soit une rente à 200%, ceci pour éviter des divorces de façade. Le coût supplémentaire est à faire porter par les futurs retraités, pas par les retraités en cours.
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
Yes, because the sooner the conversion rate is applied, as the population ages, the better the insurers can invest the money and increase returns for policyholders, and hence future BVG pensions ... . That's macroeconomics.
Oui, car plus vite le taux de conversion sera appliqué, en raison du veillissement de la population, mieux les assureurs peuvent placer l'argent et augmenter les rendements des assurés, donc des futures rentes LPP ... . C'est de la macro-économie.

Evitez une américanisation de la Suisse.
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
There were other solutions before. Today, there's a co-payment in addition to the chosen deductible.
Il y'a d'autres solutions avant. Puisqu'aujourd'hui, il y a la participation aux frais en plus de la franchise choisie.
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 |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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?

Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?

On va déjà à 4 années de Gymnase. On y répond donc.
Equal opportunities in education

| 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
On the contrary, we need to tighten them up, because we see people becoming Swiss who don't even master one of the national languages, or who only speak English, which is not a national language.
Au contraire les durcir car on voit que des personnes deviennent suisse alors qu'elle ne maitrise même pas une des langues nationales, voir s'expriment qu'en anglais qui n'est pas une langue nationale.
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
We were told 8,000 at the time of the vote, but now we're at 80,000. Who lied to the people?
On nous parlait de 8'000 lors de la votation, on est à 80'000. Qui a menti au peuple ?
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
We should divide countries into those that could compulsorily apply from abroad, and those that deserve our security (give them a roof).
On devrait séparer les pays entre ceux qui pourraient obligatoirement faire une demande depuis l'étranger, de ceux qui méritent notre sécurité (give them a roof).
Voting rights for foreigners
Should foreign nationals who have lived in Switzerland for at least ten years be granted the right to vote and stand for election at the municipal level?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Because this gives power to people of different nationalities who try to impose their views even at municipal level. You could call this a majority of circumstance.
Car cela donne du pouvoir à des personnes de nationalité différente qui tentent à imposer même au niveau communal leurs points de vue. On peut appeler cela des majorité de circonstance.

|---|---|---|---|
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 would be if we were talking about the number of direct line heirs affected. Having one child is not the same as having several. The inheritance system should take this into account. What's more, this should be outside real estate assets, because of market prices, and therefore taxable afterwards.
Je le serais si on parle du nombre d'héritiers en ligne direct touché. Avoir un enfant, n'est pas pareil qu'en avoir plusieurs. Le système successoral devrait en tenir compte. De plus, cela doit être hors fortune immobilière, en raison des prix du marché, et donc fiscal par la suite.
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
When I see that the Canton of Berne, one of the largest, receives almost 1 billion in equalization payments, I am astonished by this system.
Lorsque je vois que le Canton de Berne l'un des plus grand touche presque 1 milliard de la péréquation, je m'étonne de ce système.
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
As we can see at GE, which has introduced a minimum wage, this penalizes employment ... . I'm more in favor of thinking about an income for all, but we'd have to do away with social assistance and controls, and therefore civil servants ...
On le voit à GE, qui a instauré un salaire minimum, ça pénalise l'emploi ... . Je suis plus pour réfléchir à un revenu pour tous mais on supprime les aides sociales, les contrôles donc les fonctionnaires ...
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
Each sector must be self-regulating, except for the big banks, which must have more equity capital, and above all be able to recover executive bonuses in the event of subsequent bad fortune, like CS, and therefore bad decisions. This would protect Switzerland against managerial systems, particularly from abroad. Swiss prudence must be defended.
Chaque secteur doit s'autoréguler, sauf les grandes banques qui doivent avoir plus de fonds propres, et surtout pouvoir récupérer les bonus des dirigeants en cas de mauvaise fortune ultérieure, comme CS, donc de mauvaises décisions. ça protégerait la Suisse contre les systèmes managériales, venus notamment de l'étranger. La prudence suisse doit être défendue.
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
On the other hand, we mustn't freeze a zone or a region, but think and decide on a case-by-case basis. The Lavaux region is a case in point, as is the acceleration of construction in the mountains. These are false solutions, because cogeneration is no longer feasible, and projects have to be completed quickly to meet upcoming or imposed legal standards.
Par contre, il ne faut pas figer une zone ou une région mais réfléchir et décider par cas. Des exemples en Lavaux le montre ou l'accélération des constructions en montagne le montre aussi. De fausses bonnes solutions car la cogénération ne peut plus se faire, les réalisations doivent être rapides pour répondre à des normes légales à venir ou imposées.
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
For companies with more than 100 employees, yes, and with comparable costs and studies. There's no point looking at industry groups. E.g.: in insurance, 90% of the external service is male, so to say that men earn more than women in this sector is heresy, for example. Administration for nothing ... . Every candidate has to "sell" himself.
Pour les sociétés à plus de 100 collaborateurs plutôt oui, et à charges et études comparables. Il ne sert à rien de regarder des groupes de branches. Ex: dans l'assurance 90% du service externe est masculin, donc dire que les hommes gagnent plus que les femmes dans ce secteur est une hérésie, par exemple. De l'administratif pour rien ... . Chaque candidat doit se "vendre".

But not imposed. Or the government will have to support buyers in this transition, which will involve other problems (electricity supply, rare materials, etc.).
tendre vers oui, mais pas imposé. Ou alors il faut que l'Etat soutienne les acheteurs pour cette transition qui impliquera d'autres problèmes (approvisionnement électriques, matières rares, etc.).

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
You have to put the life of an aninal on an equal footing. Why does a large predator have the right to kill more animals and we tolerate it out of collective fascination. Wolves and bears in cages and zoos. Lynx are different...
Il faut mettre sur le même pied d'égalité la vie d'un aninal. Pourquoi un grand prédateur a droit de tuer plus de bêtes et nous le tolérons par fascination collective. Les Loups et les Ours en cage et au Zoo. Les Lynx c'est différent ...

65 and the flexibility to retire earlier or later, with improved or penalized benefits depending on the situation. Individual responsibility must mean that citizens prepare for this with a specialist from the private sector. And opportunities to contribute to the 3rd pillar must be increased.
65 ans et une flexibilité pour partir avant ou après, avec des prestations améliorées ou pénalisantes selon. La responsabilité individuelle doit faire que le citoyen s'y prépare avec un spécialiste du secteur du privé. Et les possibilités de cotiser au 3ième pilier doivent être augmentées.
