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
A more effective approach would be to promote public education and awareness of healthy foods.
Une approche plus efficace serait de promouvoir l'éducation et la sensibilisation du public aux aliments sains.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

| 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?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This approach promotes social inclusion, enables students to benefit from a diverse learning environment and encourages mutual understanding between children with different abilities.
Cette approche favorise l'inclusion sociale, permet aux élèves de bénéficier d'un environnement d'apprentissage diversifié et encourage la compréhension mutuelle entre les enfants aux capacités différentes.
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
I don't think that raising the requirements for the "maturité gymnasiale" is the priority. Instead, we should be fine-tuning and perfecting guidance for young people, and placing greater emphasis on dual vocational training. https://www.economiesuisse.ch/fr/print/pdf/node/47325
Je pense que l'augmentation des exigences pour la maturité gymnasiale n'est pas la priorité. Il faudrait plutôt affiner et perfectionner l'orientation des jeunes et mettre davantage en avant la formation professionnelle duale. https://www.economiesuisse.ch/fr/print/pdf/node/47325
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
The conditions for naturalization must remain rigorous in order to preserve the value and integrity of Swiss citizenship. The naturalization process must guarantee solid integration into Swiss society, which may require an appropriate residence period to understand the country's values, culture and language. Any excessive relaxation could compromise these essential criteria and weaken the sense of belonging to the national community.
Les conditions de naturalisation doivent rester rigoureuses afin de préserver la valeur et l'intégrité de la citoyenneté suisse. Le processus de naturalisation doit garantir une intégration solide dans la société suisse, ce qui peut nécessiter un délai de résidence approprié pour comprendre les valeurs, la culture et la langue du pays. Tout assouplissement excessif pourrait compromettre ces critères essentiels et affaiblir le sens de l'appartenance à la communauté nationale.
Increase the quota of third-country nationals for skilled workers

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
I believe that granting foreigners the right to vote and stand for election at municipal level after 10 years' residence is a concrete step towards integration and naturalization.
Je pense qu'obtenir le droit de vote et d'éligibilité au niveau communal pour les étrangers après 10 ans de résidence est un pas concret vers l'intégration et l'obtention de la naturalisation.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This would regulate the market, ensure consumer safety and generate tax revenues for the state, while easing the burden on the judicial system for minor cannabis-related offences. In addition, the black market and its consequences (crime, etc.) would be greatly reduced.
Cela permettrait de réguler le marché, assurer la sécurité des consommateurs, et générer des revenus fiscaux pour l'État, tout en allégeant la charge sur le système judiciaire pour des infractions mineures liées au cannabis. De plus, le marché noir et ce qui en découle (criminalité, etc.) serait grandement diminué
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 in favor of allowing direct active euthanasia by a doctor in Switzerland, as this would make it possible to respect the individual wishes of terminally ill people suffering from incurable diseases, under strictly regulated conditions and accompanied by appropriate medical follow-up.
Je suis favorable à l'autorisation de l'euthanasie active directe pratiquée par un médecin en Suisse, car cela permettrait de respecter la volonté individuelle de personnes atteintes de maladies incurables et en phase terminale, dans des conditions strictement réglementées et accompagnées d'un suivi médical approprié.

| 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
Married couples are currently discriminated against when it comes to taxes. This is because their incomes are added together when calculating federal tax. Around 1,400,000 married people fall into a higher tax bracket than unmarried people.
Actuellement, les couples mariés sont discriminés en matière d’impôts. En effet, leurs revenus sont additionnés lors du calcul de l’impôt fédéral. Environ 1’400’000 personnes mariées tombent dans une tranche d’imposition plus élevée que les non-mariés.

|---|---|---|---|
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
Full market liberalization could lead to unfair competition and fragmentation of the energy supply, which is not in the interests of consumers and long-term energy sustainability.
Une libéralisation complète du marché pourrait entraîner une concurrence déloyale et une fragmentation de l'approvisionnement énergétique, ce qui n'est pas dans l'intérêt des consommateurs et de la durabilité énergétique à long terme.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible

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 gradual, balanced approach is preferable, investing in incentives for electric vehicles and encouraging technological innovation to reduce emissions. Unfortunately, today's electric vehicles are not yet ideal in terms of batteries, technology, etc. So 2035 seems too soon.
Il est préférable de favoriser une approche progressive et équilibrée, en investissant dans des incitations pour les véhicules électriques et en encourageant l'innovation technologique pour réduire les émissions. Les actuels véhicule électriques ne sont malheureusement pas encore idéaux concernant les batteries, la technologie, etc. 2035 me paraît donc trop précipité.
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
While incentives and target agreements can encourage the desired behaviors, some strict regulatory measures may be necessary to ensure concrete and rapid results. It is important to adopt a balanced approach, combining different instruments to maximize our effectiveness in the fight against climate change.
Bien que les incitations et les conventions d'objectifs puissent encourager les comportements souhaités, certaines mesures réglementaires strictes peuvent être nécessaires pour garantir des résultats concrets et rapides. Il est important d'adopter une approche équilibrée, en combinant différents instruments pour maximiser notre efficacité dans la lutte contre le changement climatique.
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
By relaxing the rules in a reasonable way, we can encourage the development of renewable energies while taking into account environmental and landscape concerns.
En assouplissant les règles de manière raisonnable, nous pouvons encourager le développement des énergies renouvelables tout en prenant en compte les préoccupations environnementales et paysagères.
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 is essential to authorize the construction of new nuclear power plants in Switzerland in order to guarantee a reliable and safe source of energy to meet our growing electricity needs, while reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. This does not mean that research and innovation in wind, solar and hydro power will be sidelined.
Il est essentiel d'autoriser la construction de nouvelles centrales nucléaires en Suisse afin de garantir une source d'énergie fiable et sûre pour répondre à nos besoins croissants en électricité, tout en réduisant notre dépendance aux énergies fossiles et en contribuant à la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Cela ne doit pas mettre de côté la recherche et l'innovation concernant les énergies éoliennes, solaires et hydrauliques.

|---|---|---|---|
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's preferable to keep the voting age at 18. This corresponds to the age of legal majority and guarantees the maturity and responsibility needed to make important political decisions.
Je suis d'avis qu'il est préférable de maintenir l'âge du droit de vote à 18 ans. En effet, cela correspond à l'âge de la majorité légale et garantit une certaine maturité et responsabilité nécessaire pour prendre des décisions politiques importantes.
