You have to take measures that are adapted to the pathogen. In the case of COVID, we sacrificed the young to save the old - it wasn't fair.
Il faut prendre des mesures adaptées au pathogène. Dans le cas du COVID, nous avons sacrifié les jeunes pour sauver les vieux, ce n'était pas juste.
Federal competence for national hospital planning

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Oui, il est inutile de diriger trop de monde vers des études universitaires qui ne débouchent pas sur un métier.
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 |

Make naturalization requirements more flexible
Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
There's nothing to be gained by handing out too many Swiss passports. You really have to be sure of the high quality of the people to whom the passport is offered.
Il n'y a rien à gagner à distribuer trop de passeports suisses. Il faut vraiment être sûr de la haute qualité des gens à qui le passeport est offert.

Faut être conséquent. Liberté et responsabilité sont mes valeurs.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This doesn't solve any problems, and opens the door to abuse.
Cela ne résout aucun problème et ça ouvre la porte à des abus.
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 |

The number of civil servants is growing faster than the population. This is not healthy.
Le nombre de fonctionnaire augmente plus vite que la population. Ce n'est pas sain.

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
Millionaires are small fish. Only property owners would be affected. The big fish would organize upstream to keep their fortunes in island trusts.
Les millionnaires sont des petits poissons. Il n'y aurait que les propriétaires immobiliers qui seraient touchés. Les gros poissons s'organiseraient en amont pour avoir leur fortune dans des trusts dans des îles.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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'm in favor of a minimum wage for people with a CFC working on building sites. Then, if the working conditions are less arduous (indoor work, lower risk of injury), there would be a factor of 0.80 to apply. Then, for work not requiring a CFC, there would still be a factor of 0.85 to apply.
Je suis pour un salaire minimum pour les personnes avec un CFC travaillant sur les chantiers. Ensuite, si les conditions de travail sont moins pénibles (travail à l'intérieur, risque de blessure moindre), il y aurait un facteur 0.80 à appliquer. Ensuite, pour les travaux ne nécessitant pas de CFC, il y aurait encore un facteur de 0.85 à appliquer.
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
privatizing profits and mutualizing losses doesn't work. Bonuses would also have to be distributed in different ways, with a 50% portion deferred for 5 years, to be held in reserve in the event of bankruptcy or serious problems.
ça ne va pas de privatiser les bénéfices et de mutualiser les pertes. Il faudrait aussi distribuer les bonus de manières différentes, avec une partie de 50% différée de 5 ans qui resterait en réserve en cas de faillite ou de problèmes graves.
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
Our electricity suppliers are publicly owned. They are not private shareholders. Electricity is far too vital a commodity to rely on the market to drive up prices in the event of a shortage, without having to bear the costs of a blackout.
Nos fournisseurs d'électricités sont en main publics. Ce ne sont pas des actionnaires privés. L'électricité est une commodité bien trop primordiale (vitale) pour s'appuyer sur le marché qui fait monter les prix en cas de pénurie sans devoir supporter les coûts d'un blackout.
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 is a positive long-term investment. The land-use index should be increased (a minimum, not a maximum, should be imposed), as land is a scarce commodity in Switzerland, and agricultural land and nature must be preserved.
La protection contre le bruit est un investissement à long terme positif. L'indice d'utilisation du sol doit être revu à la hausse (il faut imposer un minimum et pas un maximum) car le sol est une denrée rare en Suisse et il faut préserver les terres agricoles et la nature.
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
The market is free and takes into account many parameters that we don't want to admit or formulate. If it were so simple to underpay women, then unemployment among women would be lower than among men.
Le marché est libre et il tient compte de beaucoup de paramètres que l'on ne veut pas admettre ou formuler. S'il était si simple de sous-payer les femmes, alors le chômage des femmes serait inférieur à celui des hommes.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Generally speaking, no: it would only postpone the problem. Exceptionally, yes: if a small section can improve the efficiency of an entire system around a city, then yes.
De manière générale non, cela ne ferait que repousser le problème. De manière exceptionnelle, oui: si un petit tronçon permet d'améliorer l'efficacité de tout un système autour d'une ville, alors oui.
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
Electricity isn't clean in itself. But it has to be produced "cleanly". The electricity we buy from Poland and Germany is mainly produced from coal of poorer quality than that used to heat cities in the 19th century.
L'électricité n'est pas propre en soit. Encore faut-il qu'elle soit produite de manière "propre". L'électricité achetée à la Pologne et l'Allemagne est principalement produite à base de charbon de moins bonne qualité que celui utilisé pour le chauffage dans les villes au XIXè siècle.
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
We need to make intelligent efforts as part of an international effort. If we make efforts without demanding anything from the real big polluters - China, India and the United States - our efforts will be counterproductive, because we will already have given everything and have nothing left to negotiate.
Il faut fournir des efforts intelligents et dans le cadre d'un effort international. Si nous fournissons des efforts sans rien exiger des vrais et gros pollueurs, soit la Chine, l'Inde et les Etats-Unis, nos efforts seront contreproductifs, car nous aurons déjà tout donné et plus rien à négocier.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
It's the decarbonized energy needed to "save the climate". The new French EPR is all about safety. An EPR supplies over 12,000 GWh of electricity per year, whereas the largest wind turbines supply between 3 and 5 GWh per year. So you need 3,000 wind turbines to supply the same amount of energy as a single reactor. Whether we build wind turbines or not.
C'est une énergie décarbonée nécessaire pour "sauver le climat". Le nouvel EPR français est entièrement accès vers la sécurité. Un EPR fournit plus de 12'000 GWh d'électricité par ans alors que les plus grandes éolienne en fournissent entre 3 et 5 GWh par an. Il faut donc 3000 éoliennes pour fournir la même quantité d'énergie qu'un seul réacteur. Que l'on construise ou pas les éoliennes.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Is this question not clear? for households? And don't those who consume goods made in China with coal-fired electricity pollute more or much more than those who buy a Swiss or French product made with decarbonized electricity? Frankly, it's just another inconsistent idea.
Cette question n'est pas claire ? pour les ménages ? Et ceux qui consomment des biens fabriqués en Chine avec de l'électricité produite à base de charbon, ne polluent-ils pas plus ou beaucoup plus que ceux qui achètent un produit suisse ou français fait à base d'électricité décarbonée. Franchement, encore une idée qui n'est pas conséquente.

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 |

Too extreme, all farmers provide a useful service to Switzerland.

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 mustn't put our farmers at a disadvantage and allow products from abroad to go unchecked... It has to be fair for everyone.
Il ne faut pas désavantager nos paysans et autorisé des produits venant de l'étranger sans contrôle... It has to be fair for everyone.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Rocks in the Alps already account for over 30% of the territory... So the demand is already there... In concrete terms, what is proposed? However, I'm shocked that we're covering vegetation with solar panels.
Les rochers dans les Alpes représentent déjà plus de 30% de territoire... Donc, la demande est déjà remplie... Concrètement, qu'est-ce qui est proposé ? Cependant, je suis choqué que l'on recouvre de la végétation avec des panneaux solaires.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Clearly! Ban low quality from China and promote quality and durability. Cheap is always too expensive, if it means replacing it 3 times faster than a normal quality item.
Clairement ! Interdire la basse qualité venant de Chine et avantager la qualité et la durabilité. Le bon marché est toujours trop cher, si c'est pour le remplacer 3 fois plus vite qu'un objet de qualité normale.
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
If we want to limit ionizing radiation, we need to encourage consumers to limit themselves. 5G does not cause an increase in ionizing radiation because the waves are directed towards the user's smartphone instead of being propagated unnecessarily in all directions.
Si l'on veut limiter les rayonnements ionisants, il faut inciter le consommateur à se limiter. La 5G ne provoque pas une augmentation des rayonnements ionisants car les ondes sont dirigées vers le smartphone de l'utilisateur au lieu d'être propagées inutilement dans toutes les directions.
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

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Freedom of expression must take precedence over individual sensitivities. Otherwise, anyone can be silenced.
La liberté de s'exprimer doit prévaloir sur les sensibilités de chacun. Sinon, on peut faire taire n'importe qui.
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
Yes, because the opinions propagated by these subsidized organizations are too left-leaning, and their bias cannot be corrected as long as they depend on a state-regulated windfall.
Oui, car les opinions propagées par ces organismes subventionnés sont trop orientées à gauche et leur biais ne peut pas être corrigé tant qu'ils dépendent d'une manne étatique et règlementée.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Provided we lower the age of majority to 16 too. There's no reason why, it goes hand in hand. Either you're responsible, or you're not quite there yet...
A condition d'abaisser la majorité à 16 ans aussi. Il n'y a pas de raison, cela va de pair. Soit on est responsable, soit on ne l'est pas encore tout à fait...

Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?

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
You can't change the rules just because it's Russia. The rules have to be the same at all times, otherwise we take sides.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It's extremely dangerous to bind oneself to an authoritarian (unelected, over-powerful commission), bureaucratic body that doesn't respect its own commitments (Maastricht Treaty) and that takes offense and seeks revenge in the event of a setback (Brexit). When you're already thinking about divorce, it's better not to get married.
C'est extrêmement dangereux de se lier à un organisme autoritaire (commission non élue et surpuissante), bureaucratique, qui ne respecte pas ses propres engagements (traité de Maastricht) et qui se vexe et chercher à se venger en cas de déconvenue (Brexit). Quand on pense déjà au divorce, mieux vaut ne pas se marier.
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
Our products must be good enough to do without a free-trade agreement. Unfortunately, services would not be covered by such an agreement, despite the fact that it is precisely in these areas that we have real skills and competitive advantages, and that the USA is the most protectionist.
Nos produits doivent être suffisamment bons pour se passer d'accord de libre-échange. Les services ne seraient malheureusement pas concernés par un tel accord, alors que c'est justement dans ces domaines que nous avons de vrais compétences et avantages compétitifs et que les USA sont les plus protectionnistes.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
No extraterritorial justice! The laws of the country must be respected. Each country is sovereign over its own territory. Swiss legislation should not apply to a Brazilian or Indian company, even if its majority shareholder is Swiss. This is quite obvious. What would we say if French legislation had to be applied to a Swiss company because its majority shareholder was French? That would be absolutely scandalous!
Pas de justice extraterritoriale ! Les lois du pays sont à respecter. Chaque pays est souverain sur son territoire. La législation suisse ne doit pas s'appliquer à une société brésilienne ou indienne, même si son actionnaire majoritaire est suisse. C'est une évidence. Que dirions-nous, si la législation française devait s'appliquer à une société suisse parce que son actionnaire majoritaire est français ? Cela serait proprement scandaleux !

We need to talk about concrete cases and form an opinion on a case-by-case basis. The answer is not always the same. But it's clear that nature is also a great asset, one that must be protected and cherished. A wealth that will be prized and rare in a highly developed country!
Il faut parler de cas concrets et se faire une opinion au cas par cas. La réponse n'est pas toujours la même. Mais il est bien clair que la nature constitue également une grande richesse, qu'il faut évidemment protéger et chérir. Une richesse qui va être prisée et rare dans un pays très développé !

Our roads are the best by far. This may be a source of pride in technical terms, but not in ecological terms. The better and more efficient the roads, the further away people will live from their place of work, and the more kilometers they will travel, the more saturated the roads will be, and the quicker we'll end up back where we started.
Nos routes sont les meilleures, de loin. Cela peut être source de fierté dans le domaine technique mais pas au niveau écologique. Plus les routes seront efficaces et de qualité, plus les gens iront habiter loin de leur lieu de travail et plus il y aura de km parcourus, plus les routes seront saturées et on se retrouve rapidement au point de départ.

We need to be ready to increase our numbers quickly if the situation changes. The important thing is to welcome/"let in" only the good ones (selective immigration).
Il faut être prêt à augmenter rapidement en cas de changement de la situation. L'important est de n'accueillir / "laisser entrer" que les bons (immigration choisie et sélective).

For 60 years now, we've been helping without thinking and without expecting anything in return. Is "helping" without "empowering" really helping?
Il y a maintenant 60 ans que l'on aide sans réfléchir et sans rien attendre en retour. "Aider" sans "responsabiliser" est-ce vraiment aider ?

Very bad idea to go from 100% to 0% or the opposite... You'd still have to pay something: minimum 20% above a certain threshold, 50% or 35% before that.
Très mauvaise idée de passer de 100% à 0% ou le contraire... Il faudrait toujours payer qqch : minimum 20% à partir d'un certain seuil, 50% ou 35% avant.
