Welfare state & family

Raise the retirement age to 67

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Health insurance premiums

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

The cantons should provide the same amount of funding for individual premium reductions as the federal government. This is also in line with the counter-proposal to the SP's premium reduction initiative, which the center in parliament supports in this way. However, the primary goal is to consider the benefits that the healthcare system brings to our society. Looking at costs alone obstructs opportunities. However, the costs should be oriented to the benefits.

Die Kantone sollen gleich viel Mittel für die individuelle Prämienverbilligung wie der Bund zur Verfügung stellen. Dies entspricht auch dem Gegenvorschlag zur Prämienentlasstungsinitiative der SP, den die Mitte im Parlament so unterstützt. Vorrangiges Ziel ist es jedoch den Nutzen zu betrachten, den das Gesundheitswesen unserer Gesellschaft bringt. Der alleinige Kostenblick verbaut Möglichkeiten. Allerdings sollen sich die Kosten an den Nutzen orientieren.

Pensions for married couples

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

This is the demand made by Die Mitte with its "Fair Pensions" initiative.

Diese Forderung stellt Die Mitte mit ihrer «Faire-Renten»-Initiative.

Reduce LPP pensions

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

MItte is in favor of the current BVG reform, against which the SP has launched a referendum. It provides for a reduction in the conversion rate in order to stop the redistribution from young to old. However, compensatory measures are planned for transitional years in order to compensate for any pension losses.

Die MItte befürwortet die aktuelle BVG-Reform, gegen welche die SP das Referendum ergriffen hat. Darin ist eine Senkung des Umwandlungssatzes vorgesehen, um die Umverteilung von Jung zu Alt zu stoppen. Für Übergangsjahrgänge, sind jedoch Kompensationsmassnahmen vorgesehen, um allfällige Renteneinbussen zu kompensieren.

Comment

They personal responsibility is to be strengthened, where an additional burden makes sense.

Sie Eigenverantwortung soll gestärkt werden, wo eine Zusatzbelastung sinnvoll ist.

Limit the powers of the Federal Council in the event of a pandemic

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Federal competence for national hospital planning

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

State intervention should be minimized, especially at the federal level. The advantages of federalism (proximity to citizens and problems) outweigh the disadvantages. However, framework conditions should be made possible that allow regional care across cantonal borders. Existing small centers should no longer have the full range of services, but the mandate of primary care. What is needed beyond that should be provided at competence centers in center hospitals.

Staatliche Eingriffe sollten minimiert werden insbesondere auf Bundesebene. Die Vorteile des Föderalismus (Nähe zum Bürger und zu den Problemen) überwiegen. Es sollten aber Rahmenbedingungen ermöglicht werden, die eine regionale Versorgung über Kantonsgrenzen hinweg ermöglichen. Bestehende kleine Zentren sollten nicht mehr das volle Angebot haben, aber den Auftrag der Erstversorgung. Was darüber hinweg nötig ist, sollte an Kompetenzzentren in Zentrumsspitälern erfolgen.

Education

Inclusive schooling

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

An integrative school is to be welcomed in principle. The practice of the last years shows that the implementation causes great difficulties.

Eine integrative Schule ist grundsätzlich zu begrüssen. Die Praxis der letzten Jahre zeigt, dass die Umsetzung grosse Schwierigkeiten bereitet.

Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

The requirements for the gymnasiale Matura are a matter for the cantons. For Die Mitte, however, it is important that vocational training continues to be given equal consideration alongside high school education and remains attractive for all.

Die Anforderungen an die gymnasiale Matura ist Sache der Kantone. Für Die Mitte ist jedoch wichtig, dass neben der gymnasialen Ausbildung auch die Berufsbildung weiterhin gleiche Berücksichtigung findet und für alle atttraktiv bleibt.

Finances & taxes

Reduce taxes at the federal level

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

In principle, I am in favor of making tax cuts. With the current challenges of climate/pandemic/security, additional spending is to be expected.

Grundsätzlich befürworte ich Steuersenkungen vorzunehmen. Mit den aktuellen Herausforderungen Klima/Pandemie/Sicherheit sind mit Mehrausgaben zu rechnen.

Tax married couples individually

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

The initiative of the FDP women demands the introduction of individual taxation. This is rejected by all cantons and various parties due to the administrative effort involved. It also creates new injustices. As a counter model, Die Mitte has launched the popular initiative for "Fair Taxes", which demands the alternative tax calculation. With this calculation, married couples still have to file only one tax return. However, couples can benefit from the calculation method of the

Die Initiative der FDP-Frauen fordert die Einführung der Individualbesteuerung. Diese wird aufgrund des administrativen Aufwandes von allen Kantonen und verschiedensten Parteien abgelehnt. Sie schafft zudem neue Ungerechtigkeiten. Als Gegenmodell hat Die Mitte die Volksinitiative für "Faire Steuern" lanciert, welche die alternative Steuerberechnung fordert. Mit dieser Berechnung müssen verheiratete Paare weiterhin nur eine Steuererklärung einreichten. Können jedoch von der Berechnungsmethode der

Economy & labour

Introduce a national minimum wage of CHF 4,000

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Regulate the financial sector more strictly

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Lessons must be learned from the failure of Credit Suisse. A fundamental realignment of banking and supervisory legislation is needed. This should be aimed in particular at the newly created, internationally system-relevant big bank, according to the principle: the bigger a bank, the more strongly it is regulated.

Es gilt die Lehren aus dem Scheitern der Credit Suisse zu ziehen. Es braucht eine grundlegende Neuausrichtung der Banken- und Aufsichtsgesetzgebung. Diese soll insbesondere auf die neu geschaffene, international systemrelevante Grossbank abzielen, nach dem Grundsatz: Je grösser eine Bank, desto stärker reguliert.

Energy & transport

Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Ban new registrations of combustion engine vehicles from 2035

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

At present, it appears that the automakers themselves are aiming for a phase-out by 2035. In this respect, the need for political action is not compelling.

Momentan zeichnet sich ab, dass die Automobilhersteller selbst einen Ausstieg bis 2035 anstreben. Insofern ist der politische Handlungsbedarf nicht zwingend gegeben.

Introduction of stricter rules on the protection of farm animals

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Switzerland already has one of the strictest animal protection laws in the world. Further adjustments in the area of farm animal husbandry are therefore not currently planned.

Die Schweiz hat bereits heute eines der strengsten Tierschutzgesetze der Welt. Weitere Anpassungen im Bereich der Nutztierhaltung sind daher aktuell nicht vorgesehen.

Ban on single-use plastics

More sustainable use of electronic devices

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

A key success factor for an ecologically sustainable economy is the promotion of circular economy. Here, the center supports measures that improve the longevity of equipment or its reuse.

Ein wesentlicher Erfolgsfaktor für eine ökologisch nachhaltige Wirtschaft ist die Förderung von Kreislaufwirtschaft. Hier unterstützt die Mitte Massnahmen, welche die Langlebigkeit von Geräten oder deren Wiederverwendung verbessern.

Democracy, Media & Digitization

Mobile phone network (5G)

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Digitizing public services

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

The federal government should play a stronger role in government digitization projects in particular. E-voting, electronic patient files, or a digital debt register must be developed and implemented nationally. 26 Individual solutions in such areas are inefficient and expensive.

Gerade bei staatlichen Digitalisierungsprojekten sollte der Bund eine stärkere Rolle einnehmen. E-Voting, elektronische Patientendossiers, oder ein digitales Betreibungsregister müssen national entwickelt und umgesetzt werden. 26 Einzellösungen sind in solchen Bereichen ineffizient und teuer.

Re-export of Swiss weapons

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

In parliament, Die Mitte has strongly supported the re-export of war material in the special case of Ukraine and has submitted corresponding proposals to parliament (Lex Ukraine). However, Die Mitte is critical of a general relaxation of the War Material Act.

Die Mitte hat sich im Parlament stark gemacht für eine Wiederausfuhr von Kriegsmaterial im Spezialfall Ukraine und hat hierfür entsprechende Vorstosse im Parlament eingereicht (Lex Ukraine). Einer generellen Lockerung des Kriegsmaterialgesetzes steht Die Mitte hingegen kritisch gegenüber.

I am convinced that the free market economy is the best way forward for our Switzerland. However, the economy must assume its social responsibility.
