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
It is important that resources are invested here. At the same time, the health insurance system must be questioned. Costs must be reduced - the single health insurance fund must be seriously discussed again.
Es ist wichtig, dass hier Mittel investiert werden. Gleichzeitig muss das Krankenkassensystem hinterfragt werden. Die Kosten müssen gesenkt werden - die Einheitskasse muss wieder ernsthaft diskutiert werden.
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 no disadvantage. The lifestyles that are individually chosen must not become a disadvantage. The argument that married people can save costs is too short-sighted and ignores the reality of life for many retired people.
Es darf keine Benachteiligung entstehen. Die Lebensformen, die individuell gewählt werden dürfen zu keinem Nachteil werden. Die Argumentation Verheiratete könnten Kosten sparen greift zu kurz und klammert die Lebensrealität vieler Menschen in Rente aus.
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
Not at the present time. The pension funds are generating profits and are in a good position. The adjustment of the conversion rate is simply not justifiable.
Zum heutigen Zeitpunkt nicht. Die Pensionskassen erwirtschaften Gewinne und sind gut aufgestellt. Die Anpassung des Umwandlungssatzes ist schlicht nicht begründbar.
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
At the very least, the current standard, which represents the absolute minimum, must be defended. It would be desirable to discuss parental leave - more time, more flexibility, closer to individual life realities.
Mindestens muss der heutige Standard verteidigt werden, der das absolute Minimus abbildet. Es wäre wünschenswert über Elternzeit zu diskutieren - mehr Zeit, mehr Flexibilität, näher an den individuellen Lebensrealitäten.
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
The question is to what extent should the federal government provide funding? Financially? In an advisory capacity? In principle, I think it is important to promote non-profit housing.
Die Frage ist inwiefern der Bund fördern soll? Finanziell? Beratend? Grundsätzlich empfinde ich es als wichtig, dass gemeinnütziger Wohnungsbau unbedingt vorangetrieben werden muss.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I clearly reject compulsory vaccination. I am, however, in favor of information and education.
Eine Impfpflicht lehne ich klar ab. Information und Aufklärung befürworte ich hingegen.
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
No. However, we must continue to educate people that foods with a high sugar content are unhealthy. In the meantime, we know the classification of foods - I feel that this is a sensible way to go.
Nein. Jedoch muss weiter aufgeklärt werden, dass stark zuckerhaltige Lebensmittel ungesund sind. Mittlerweile kennen wir die Klassifizierung von Lebensmittel - ich empfinde diesen Weg als sinnstiftend.
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
No, especially chronically ill people and people with low financial means are dependent on a low deductible in my view.
Nein, gerade chronisch kranke und Menschen mit geringen finanziellen Mitteln sind auf meiner Sicht auf eine tiefe Franchise angewiesen.
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
In retrospect, I feel that the Federal Council's handling of the pandemic was successful. Correctly, there are "learnings". I am convinced that in the event of a future pandemic, the Federal Council will be able to draw on the experience gained and apply measures in a more targeted manner.
Rückblickend empfinde ich die Pandemiebewältigung des Bundesrates als gelungen. Richtigerweise gibt es "Learnings". Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass der Bundesrat bei einer kommenden Pandemie auf die gemachten Erfahrungen zurückgreifen kann und Massnahmen gezielter einsetzen würde.
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
It seems important to me that the federal government takes over and coordinates this task. Health must not and need not be a consistently profitable business.
Es scheint mir wichtig, dass der Bund diese Aufgabe übernimmt und koordiniert. Gesundheit darf und muss kein durchgehend profitables Geschäft sein.
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
Integrative schooling is desirable. At the same time, it must not lead to teachers being burdened even more. Accordingly, it is a matter of concern to me that there are enough specialists on site and in the classes - the necessary resources must be created.
Die integrative Beschulung ist wünschenswert. Es darf gleichzeitig nicht dazu führen, dass Lehrpersonen noch mehr belastet werden. Entsprechend ist es mir ein Anliegen, dass genug Fachpersonen vor Ort und in den Klassen sind - es müssen die nötigen Ressourcen geschaffen werden.
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
In the Gymi, the performance is qualified every six months by means of an assessment / report card. I assume that a selection already takes place.
Im Gymi wird halbjährlich, mittels Beurteilung / Zeugnis, die Leistung qualifiziert. Ich gehe davon aus, dass dadurch bereits eine Selektion stattfindet.
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
Educational opportunities will never be equal - but there must be the effort and the will to keep the gap as small as possible. Support is absolutely necessary - the income of the parents must not determine the education of the children.
Bildungschancen werden nie gleich sein - es muss jedoch das Bestreben und der Wille da sein die Lücke zu klein wie möglich zu halten. Es braucht unbedingt Unterstützung - das Einkommen der Eltern darf nicht über die Bildung der Kinder entscheiden.
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
In principle, I think our naturalization procedure is good. What I object to are naturalization tests that create almost insurmountable and arbitrary hurdles. This kind of abuse of power must be stopped. There is also a need for realistic language levels that have to be met.
Grundsätzlich empfinde ich unser Einbürgerungsverfahren gut. Was ich ablehne sind Einbürgerungstests, die schier unüberwindbare und willkürliche Hürden schaffen. Diese Art von Machtmissbrauch muss unterbunden werden. Ebenfalls braucht es realistische Sprachniveaus die zu erfüllen sind.
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
If there is a need in the economy and it cannot be met by domestic labor -> absolutely.
Wenn Bedarf in der Wirtschaft besteht und dieser durch heimische Arbeitskräfte nicht gedeckt werden kann -> unbedingt.
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
I don't think the idea behind the demand is fundamentally wrong. However, it does not do justice to the people affected. These are desk thoughts. The idea is simply too short-sighted. We have to ask ourselves why people are seeking asylum in Europe. What can we do to offer security, income and perspective to the people in their homeland? People who are displaced by war, are persecuted, etc. need protection!
Ich finde den Gedanken hinter der Forderung nicht grundlegend verkehrt. Jedoch wird dieser den betroffenen Menschen nicht gerecht. Das sind Schreibtischgedanken. Der Gedanke greift schlicht auch viel zu kurz. Wir müssen uns die Frage stellen weshalb Menschen in Europa Asyl suchen. Was können wir tun, um den Menschen in ihrer Heimat Sicherheit, Einkommen und Perspektive zu bieten? Menschen die von Krieg vertrieben werden, Verfolgt werden, etc. brauchen Schutz!
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
Participation is important and the basis for feeling like a full part of society. Therefore, I believe that it is important to involve people in democratic processes. To participate means to commit oneself to democracy.
Partizipation ist wichtig und Grundlage sich als vollwertiger Teil einer Gesellschaft zu fühlen. Daher vertrete ich die Meinung, dass es wichtig ist Menschen einzubinden in die demokratischen Prozesse. Mitbestimmen heisst eben auch sich zur Demokratie zu bekennen.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Legalization is overdue. Bans and repression have come to nothing. I also lack stringent arguments why this practice should be continued. What is important for me is how legalization is implemented in concrete terms. Exciting questions are currently being asked in Germany. Education, prevention and youth protection must be intensively addressed.
Die Legalisierung ist überfällig. Verbote und Repression sind ins Leere gelaufen. Es fehlt mir auch an stringenten Argumenten weshalb weiter an dieser Praxis festgehalten werden soll. Wichtig ist für mich wie eine Legalisierung konkret umgesetzt wird. Da stellen sich in Deutschland derzeit spannende Fragen. Aufklärung, Prävention und Jugendschutz muss intensiv angegangen werden.
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
I am clearly in favor of euthanasia. I am convinced that today's implementation is purposeful.
Ich spreche mich klar für die Sterbehilfe aus. Ich bin der Überzeugung, dass die heutige Umsetzung zielführend ist.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
As a non-affected person, it is always easy to react with incomprehension. Gender has to do with identity. There is nothing for me against it. Nobody is restricted. Of course, legal certainty would have to be created in parallel.
Als nicht betroffene Person ist es stets einfach mit Unverständnis zu reagieren. Das Geschlecht hat mit Identität zu tun. Es spricht für mich nichts dagegen. Niemand wird eingeschränkt. Selbstverständlich müsste parallel dazu Rechtssicherheit geschaffen werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, it is a mystery to me why it is not yet so.
Ja, es ist mir schleierhaft weshalb es noch nicht so ist.
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
It is high time to introduce individual taxation. The individually chosen form of relationship must not lead to any disadvantages.
Es ist höchste Zeit die Individualbesteuerung einzuführen. Die individuell gewählte Beziehungsform darf zu keinen Nachteilen führen.
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
Rather No. It would have to be applied at higher amounts.
Eher Nein. Es müsste bei höheren Beträgen angesetzt werden.
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
Absolutely. Work must be worthwhile to the extent that the wages earned can finance at least a modest, dignified life. The cost of living is constantly rising. It is positive that many industries have a CLA, but a minimum wage must be defined nationwide.
Auf jeden Fall. Arbeit muss sich in soweit lohnen, dass der erzielte Lohn mindestens ein bescheidenes, würdevolles Leben finanzieren kann. Die Lebenskosten steigen stetig. Es ist positiv, dass viele Branchen über einen GAV verfügen, jedoch muss ein Mindestlohn landesweit definiert werden.
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
Absolutely. Collateral is needed. The UBS debacle has revealed weaknesses - these must be closed as best as possible and effective regulators found.
Auf jeden Fall. Es braucht Sicherheiten. Das UBS Debakel hat Schwachstellen aufgedeckt - diese gilt es so gut als möglich zu schliessen und griffige Regulatoren zu finden.
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
Looking at Germany, I am not overly enthusiastic about liberalizing the electricity market. I see no need for it.
Mit Blick nach Deutschland bin ich von einer Liberalisierung des Strommarktes nicht überzogen. Ich sehe keine Notwendigkeit dazu.
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
The quality of life must not suffer too much. It is important that new construction projects and renovations are planned in such a way that the available space can be used optimally (high utilization rate).
Die Lebensqualität darf nicht zu arg leiden. Wichtig ist, dass Neubauprojekte und Sanierungen so geplant werden, dass der vorhandene Platz optimal genutzt werden kann (hohe Ausnutzungsziffer).
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
Gender must have no influence on salary. Equal pay for equal work. It is out of the question that we still have to talk about this issue in 2023.
Das Geschlecht darf kein Einfluss auf das Gehalt haben. Gleicher Lohn für gleiche Arbeit. Es ist indiskutabel, dass wir im Jahr 2023 noch immer über dieses Thema sprechen müssen.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It does not seem realistic to me that traffic will decrease significantly in the future. However, the vehicles will become smarter and at best there will be a chance that the highway can be better "utilized".
Es scheint mir nicht realistisch, dass der Verkehr in Zukunft wesentlich abnehmen wird. Die Fahrzeuge werden jedoch smarter und allenfalls ergibt sich die Chance, dass die Autobahn besser "ausgelastet" werden kann.
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
A transition period of 10 years seems realistic to me. The decisive factor is whether the car manufacturers can cope with such a demand. In addition, e-mobiles must be purchasable in different price classes.
Eine Übergangsfrist von 10 Jahren scheint mir realistisch. Entscheidend ist, ob die Autohersteller eine solche Nachfrage bewältigen können. Zusätzlich müssen E-Mobile in verschiedenen Preisklassen erwerbbar sein.
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
A mix of both is needed. Incentives and prohibitions that can balance each other out and at the same time ensure that climate targets are met.
Es braucht eine Mischung aus beidem. Anreize und Verbote, die sich die Waage halten und gleichzeitig sicherstellen können, dass die Klimaziele erreicht werden.
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
Yes, pragmatism is needed in this regard. This does not mean that I am in favor of disregarding environmental and landscape protection. It needs a sense of proportion.
Ja, es braucht diesbezüglich Pragmatismus. Soll nicht heissen, dass ich befürworte den Umwelt- und Landschaftsschutz ausser Acht zu lasse. Es braucht Augenmass.
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
No, it doesn't make sense either. The nuclear phase-out has been decided and must be implemented. Moreover, building new power plants takes too long.
Nein, es macht auch keinen Sinn. Der Atomausstieg ist beschlossen und muss umgesetzt werden. Neue Kraftwerke zu bauen dauert zudem zu lange.
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
The public service must be guaranteed - regardless of where you live. There are already creative and meaningful solutions.
Der Service-Public muss garantiert sein - unabhängig vom Wohnort. Es gibt bereits kreative und sinnstiftende Lösungen.
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
This question cannot be answered across the board. If we talk about private households, then I can see something good in the idea. If we're talking about the business sector, I don't have the imagination to see how it could work - without driving up costs that ultimately have to be borne by consumers.
Diese Frage lässt sich nicht pauschal beantworten. Sprechen wir von Privathaushalten, dann kann ich der Idee Gutes abgewinnen. Sprechen wir vom Wirtschaftssektor, dann fehlt mir die Fantasie dafür wie das funktionieren soll - ohne Kosten in die Höhe zu treiben, welche letztlich die Konsumenten zu tragen haben.
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
No, the regulations have only recently been relaxed.
Nein, die Bestimmungen wurden erst kürzlich gelockert.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Direct payments are important to ensure our security of supply. However, I am in favor of creating incentives for farms to go organic.
Direktzahlungen sind wichtig, um unsere Versorgungssicherheit zu gewährleisten. Ich bin jedoch dafür, dass Anreize geschaffen werden, dass Betriebe sich ökologisch ausrichten.
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
It would be desirable and important that animal welfare be further promoted. However, this is associated with costs that would have to be subsidized at least in part.
Es wäre wünschenswert und wichtig, dass das Tierwohl weiter gefördert werden. Das ist jedoch mit Kosten verbunden, die mindestens Teilweise subventioniert werden müssten.
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
Switzerland must assume its responsibility and get as close as possible to the 30% mark. First, the feedback from the cantons must be awaited in order to plan the next steps.
Die Schweiz muss ihre Verantwortung wahrnehmen und möglichst nahe an die 30% Marke herankommen. Erst muss nun die Rückmeldung der Kantone abgewartet werden, um die nächsten Schritte planen zu können.
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 principle, I am in favor of a ban. However, alternatives are needed that can be produced at a similar price. This is where we need to invest; in research and innovation.
Grundsätzlich bin ich für ein Verbot. Es braucht jedoch Alternativen, die zu einem ähnlichen Preis produziert werden können. Hier gilt es zu investieren; in Forschung und Innovation.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
For me, it's crucial that electronic devices are disposed of and recycled properly - or that they are sold on the secondary market. Various business areas already exist in this area. I think it is important that more sustainably produced end devices are produced.
Für mich ist entscheidend, dass elektronische Geräte fachgerecht entsorg und recycelt werden - oder eben einem Zweitmarkt zugeführt werden. Hier bestehen bereits verschiedene Geschäftsfelder. Ich fände es wichtig, das vermehr nachhaltig produzierte Endgeräte produziert werden.
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
Yes - 5G means progress. Especially in e-mobility, etc.
Ja - 5G bedeutet Fortschritt. Gerade in der E-Mobilität, etc.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland must make further progress in digitization. More effort is needed in this area.
Die Schweiz muss in der Digitalisierung weiter vorankommen. Es braucht in dem Bereich mehr Effort.
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
Yes, many issues lie fallow here and regulation is needed. We are lagging behind and this is creating a legal vacuum.
Ja, hier liegen viele Themen brach und es braucht Regulierung. Wir hinken hinterher und es entsteht dadurch ein rechtsfreier Raum.
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
Not at all. The fees seem legitimate to me. A broad, state-run radio and television service is important.
Gar nicht. Die Gebühren scheinen mir legitim. Ein breites, staatliches Radio- und Fernsehangebot ist wichtig.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I think it makes sense to let young people participate and to include them in the political process already at the age of 16. It seems important to me to provide appropriate education at school,
Ich empfinde es als sinnvoll junge Menschen partizipieren zu lassen und bereits mit 16 Jahren in den politischen Prozess mit einzuschliessen. Wichtig scheint mir eine entsprechende Bildung in der Schule,
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
No, that leads to a lot of uncertainty.
Nein, das führt zu vielen Unsicherheiten.
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
The spirit of the times shows that it makes sense to have a balanced number of military personnel. Whether it has to be 120,000 people I don't know.
Der Zeitgeist zeigt, dass es Sinn macht einen ausgewogenen Bestand an Armeeangehörigen zu haben. Ob es 120'000 Personen sein müssen weiss ich nicht.
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, cooperation with NATO is important and should be expanded.
Ja, eine Zusammenarbeit mit der Nato ist wichtig und soll ausgebaut werden.
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
Switzerland must question the narrative of neutrality. Especially in view of the 2nd World War (keyword: arms transports of the National Socialists) this does not seem stringent to me. I am against the re-export of weapons per se - however, this must be possible after an examination (define criteria).
Die Schweiz muss das Narrativ der Neutralität hinterfragen. Gerade mit Blick auf den 2. Weltkrieg (Stichwort Waffentransporte der Nationalsozialisten) scheint mir dieses nicht stringent. Ich bin dagegen, dass Waffen per se wieder ausgeführt werden dürfen - jedoch muss dies nach einer Prüfung (Kriterien festlegen) möglich sein.
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I am not against this per se. The areas in which automatic facial recognition may be used must be clearly defined (e.g. borders, airports). In general public space, I am clearly against an application.
Ich bin nicht per se dagegen. Die Bereiche, in denen die automatische Gesichtserkennung eingesetzt werden darf muss klar definiert sein (z.B. Grenzen, Flughafen). Im allgemeinen öffentlichen Raum bin ich klar gegen eine Anwendung.
Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls
Should Switzerland terminate the Schengen agreement with the EU and reintroduce more security checks directly on the border? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The Schengen Agreement contains many advantages which, in my view, outweigh the disadvantages.
Das Schengen-Abkommen beinhaltet viele Vorteile, die aus meiner Sicht die Nachteile überwiegen.
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
The close relationship is indispensable for business and education.
Die enge Beziehung ist unabdingbar für Wirtschaft und Bildung.
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
I am only in favor of free trade if it can be proven that there are no major disadvantages for industries and that ecological effects are taken into account.
Ich bin nur für den Freihandel, wenn nachweislich keine grossen Nachteile für Branchen entstehen und ökologische Auswirkungen mitgedacht werden.
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
In principle, in any case. The question here is one of verifiability and traceability.
Im Grundsatz auf jeden Fall. Hier stellt sich die Frage der Überprüfbarkeit und Nachvollziehbarkeit.
Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU
Should Switzerland terminate the Bilateral Agreements with the EU and seek a free trade agreement without the free movement of persons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The bilateral path must be continued!
Der bilaterale Weg muss fortgesetzt werden!
Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality
Should Switzerland return to a strict interpretation of neutrality (renounce economic sanctions to a large extent)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The narrative of neutrality must be reflected upon and questioned. Neutrality does not mean actively looking the other way.
Das Narrative der Neutralität muss reflektiert und hinterfragt werden. Neutralität bedeutet nicht, dass aktiv weggeschaut werden darf.

| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |

Comment
The AHV in particular is a positive example in this respect. Redistribution is important for a healthy welfare state - as long as everyone can support it.
Gerade die AHV ist diesbezüglich ein positives Beispiel. Eine Umverteilung ist für einen gesunden Sozialstaat bedeutsam - solange alle diese mittragen können.

Comment
It is important that parents are reliable caregivers. In addition, there is room for supplementary family and school care. The statement is a mockery for those who cannot afford such a care model and simply do not have the choice.
Es ist wichtig, dass Eltern verlässliche Bezugspersonen sind. Daneben gibt es Platz für familienergänzende und schulergänzende Betreuung. Die Aussage ist für diejenigen ein Hohn, die sich ein solches Betreuungsmodell gar nicht leisten können und schlicht nicht die Wahl haben.

No. We need both parts equally. We need laws that are comprehensible and punishments that are consistent with them. At the same time, it is important to invest in reintegration.
Nein. Es braucht beide Teile gleichwertig. Wir brauchen Gesetzte, die nachvollziehbar sind und Strafen die konsistent dazu sind. Gleichzeitig ist es wichtig in die Wiedereingliederung zu investieren.
Stronger environmental protection

I do not agree with that. I am convinced that environmental protection can only function together with the economy. That environmental protection can lead to process adjustments, etc., that stop growth in the short term is to be accepted. In the medium and long term, this does not have to be the case.
Damit bin ich nicht einverstanden. Ich bin der Überzeugung, dass Umweltschutz nur zusammen mit der Wirtschaft funktionieren kann. Das Umweltschutz zu Prozessanpassungen, etc. führen kann, die den Wachstum kurzfristig stoppen ist in Kauf zu nehmen. Mittel- und langfristig muss das nicht so sein.

Basically, I feel that Switzerland is a social country. There are issues that need more investment; relief from health insurance premiums, affordable childcare places, etc.
Grundsätzlich empfinde ich die Schweiz als sozial. Es gibt Themenpunkt, die mehr Investition benötigen; Entlastung der KK-Prämien, bezahlbare Betreuungsplätze für Kinder, etc.

Additional spending is needed - especially in the area of animal welfare and conversion to organic farming.

A further expansion of public transport is important, especially because many people no longer live where they work. If you want to relieve the roads, then the further expansion is inevitable.
Ein weiterer Ausbau des ÖV ist wichtig, gerade weil viele Menschen nicht mehr dort wohnen wo sie arbeiten. Will man die Strassen entlasten, dann ist der weiter Ausbau unumgänglich.

Investments will be needed here as well. People are mobile. For me, the question arises as to whether investments are not being made in modern software infrastructure aimed at steering traffic.
Auch hier werden Investitionen nötig sein. Die Menschen sind mobil. Für mich stellt sich die Frage, ob nicht in moderne Softwareinfrastruktur investiert wird, die in Richtung Lenkung des Verkehres zielt.

Investments should be made in such a way that we have an adequate, modern and, above all, operational military. Additional acquisitions must be possible.
Die Investitionen sollen so getätigt werden, dass wir über ein angemessenes, modernes und vor allem einsatzfähiges Militär verfügen. Zusätzliche Anschaffungen müssen möglich sein.

The question is how the money will be used and to what extent spending will be coordinated with other states.
Die Frage ist wie das Geld eingesetzt wird und in wie weit mit anderen Staaten die Ausgaben koordiniert werden.

I do not rule out an increase in the retirement age. However, such an increase does not make sense at the moment. Older employees already have difficulty finding a qualified job. At the same time, many people who have worked in well-paid fields/positions are taking early retirement. In short, other topics would first have to be put on the table and developments would have to be forced. Increasing the retirement age cannot be an option as of today.
Ich schliesse eine Erhöhung des Rentenalters nicht aus. Eine solche macht jedoch momentan keinen Sinn. Ältere Arbeitnehmende haben bereits heute Mühe eine qualifizierte Stelle zu finden. Gleichzeitig lassen sich viele Menschen, die in gut bezahlten Arbeitsfeldern / Positionen gearbeitet haben Frühpensionieren. Kurzum; es müssten erst andere Themen auf den Tisch und Entwicklungen forciert werden. Die Erhöhung des Rentenalters kann Stand heute keine Option sein.
