Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We need to be able to use existing built-up areas before taking agricultural land. High-rise areas must be made denser. Tiny houses" must be allowed to set up in suitable areas, without putting obstacles in their way.
Il faut pouvoir utiliser les volumes actuels construits avant de prendre des surfaces agricoles. Il faut densifier les zones construites en hauteur. Il faut autoriser les "Tiny houses" à se poser sur des zones appropriées sans leur mettre des bâtons dans les pieds.

Sauf en cas de besoins professionnels.
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
Incentives are always supported, while restrictions are poorly received by the public.
Les incitations sont toujours soutenues alors que les restrictions sont mal reçues par le peuple.
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
Covering the roofs of farms (outside building zones) and other current buildings seems a good idea to me, but wind turbines or solar farms in the middle of nowhere don't seem logical to me. It would make more sense to start by covering the freeways, as this would avoid the need for snow removal and its consequences, and would also produce truly ecological electricity.
Couvrir les toits des fermes (hors zone à bâtir) et autres bâtiments actuels me semble une bonne idée mais des éoliennes ou des parcs solaires en pleine nature ne me semblent pas logique. Il me semblerait plus logique de commencer par couvrir les autoroutes car cela éviterait le déneigement et ses conséquences, en plus, on pourrait produire de l'électricité vraiment écologique.
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
On the other hand, we should be encouraging renewable energies, and encouraging farms to make the most of their farmyard manure, without reaching the stage where Germany is encouraging thousands of hectares of biogas crops at the expense of human food production. Subsidizing and/or forcing our farmers to cover their roofs with photovoltaic panels and to methanize their effluents seems logical to me.
Il faudrait par contre encourager les énergies renouvelables, encourager les fermes à valoriser leurs engrais de ferme sans arriver au stade de l'Allemagne qui encourage les cultures destinées au biogaz sur des milliers d'hectares au détriment de la production de nourriture pour les humains. Subventionner et/ou obliger nos agriculteurs à couvrir leurs toits en photovoltaïque et à méthaniser leurs effluents me semble logique.
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
It makes sense to densify in urban areas and leave rural areas alone, without forgetting to serve them properly.
Il est logique de densifier dans les régions des villes et de laisser les régions rurales tranquilles sans oublier de les desservir correctement.
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
If we're talking about an average citizen, it seems unfair to me that a person who needs care and machinery should pay more than another. For businesses, it seems unfair that a baker who uses a lot of electricity should pay more than an accountant who uses much less.
Si on parle d'un citoyen lambda, il me semble injuste qu'une personne qui a besoin de soins et de machines paie plus qu'une autre. Pour les entreprises, il me semble injuste qu'un boulanger qui va utiliser beaucoup d'électricité paie plus qu' un comptable qui va en employer beaucoup moins.
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
Predators are necessary, but within reasonable and acceptable limits. Yes, as long as attacks on flocks are not too frequent. Or we could give them a protected territory where they're at home. But in the current situation, this is untenable.
Il faut des prédateurs, mais dans une limite raisonnable et acceptable. Oui tant que les attaques sur les troupeaux ne sont pas trop fréquentes. Ou alors on leur octroie un territoire de protection où ils sont chez eux. Mais dans le cas actuel ce n'est pas tenable.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We have to start by producing. The current system encourages laziness and greed for the premiums granted. Food production should be encouraged, whether organic or not. Good producers who feed Switzerland should be thanked, and bad producers should be penalized. At present, whether organic or not, those who produce are worse off than those who "pump the premiums".
Il faut commencer par produire. Le système actuel favorise la paresse et l'avidité des primes octroyées. Il faudrait favoriser la production de denrées alimentaires qu'elles soient bio ou non. Que les bons producteurs qui nourrissent la Suisse soient remerciés et que les mauvais reçoivent des pénalités. Actuellement, bio ou non, ceux qui produisent, sont mal lotis par rapport à ceux qui "pompent les primes"
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 |

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

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

|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The duty to inform is a public duty, but it should not be subject to payment.
Le devoir d'information est un devoir public mais il ne doit pas être payant.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
We have the good fortune to elect representatives whom we feel are capable of managing our business, and we must have confidence in them.
Nous avons la chance d'élire des représentants que nous pensons à même de gérer, il faut leur faire confiance.
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
In my opinion, 100,000 well-trained and well-supervised men are enough. Having served several times as an officer, I think it's better to keep 100K men motivated than 120K unmotivated.
100'000 hommes bien formés et bien encadrés suffisent, selon moi. Ayant exercé plusieurs fois avec des fonctions d'officier, je pense qu'il est mieux de garder 100K hommes motivés que 120K hommes démotivés.
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
NATO is a good partner, but we mustn't forget that the army chief under whom I served said publicly (following the Kander case) that an order putting our security at risk had to be refused...
L'OTAN est un bon partenaire mais il ne faut pas oublier que le chef de l'armée sous lequel j'ai effectué mon service a dit publiquement: (suite au cas Kander) qu'un ordre mettant notre sécurité en jeu se devait d'être refusé...
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
The law is clear: any re-export of weapons produced in Switzerland is prohibited.
La loi est claire, toute réexportation des armes produites en Suisse est proscrite.
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
In Switzerland, we believe that no one is guilty unless proven guilty... If cameras were to be installed, that would be the end of that adage...
En Suisse, il est d'avis que nul n'est coupable à moins du contraire... Si des caméras devaient être installées, ce serait la fin de cet adage...
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 current system is bad, but it's the least worst...
Le système actuel est mauvais, mais, c'est le moins pire...
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 EU has sold its soul to the Lobbies, whether it's labor law that exploits workers, or the renunciations of the monopolies, if Switzerland were to join the EU, the highways could not be managed by the confederation and would have to be sold to a third company, the adoption of European law would be almost automatic and Switzerland's neutrality and its foundations would be flouted....
L'UE a vendu son âme aux Lobbys, Qu'il s'agisse du droit du travail exploitant les travailleurs, aux renoncements des monopoles, si la Suisse intégrait l'UE, les autoroutes ne pourraient pas être gérées par la confédération et devraient être vendues à une tierce entreprise, la reprise du droit européen serait presque automatique et la neutralité de la Suisse et ses fondements seraient bafoués....
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
The USA would invade us with their GMO-contaminated products, their "Feed Lot" fattening farms that don't meet our 5% standards. Their Gruyère, Emmental and other products they've decided are nothing to our PDOs. And what do they offer in return? NOTHING In short, they just want to invade us with their industrial products that we wouldn't accept at home.
Les EU nous envahiraient de leurs produits contaminés par les OGM, leurs "Feed Lot" fermes d'engraissement ne répondant pas aux 5 % de nos normes. Leur Gruyère, Emmental et autres dont ils ont décidé que nos AOP étaient rien. Et qu'offrent-ils en retour ? RIEN Bref, ils veulent juste nous envahir de leurs produits industriels que l'on accepterait pas chez nous.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
In the strict sense of the law, YES Common sense NO On the other hand, it must strive to calm all parties and avoid escalation. Stick to the sanctions necessary to affirm its refusal of the invasion, but do not follow like a sheep to be credible for future peace talks.
Au sens strict de la loi, OUI Au bon sens NON Par contre elle doit s'efforcer de calmer toutes les parties et d'éviter une escalade. S'en tenir aux sanctions nécessaires pour affirmer son refus de l'invasion mais ne pas suivre comme un mouton pour être crédible pour les futurs pourparlers de paix.

A redirection of the amounts allocated by agriculture to farmers seems logical to me. Agricultural civil servants benefit too much... If we paid by the hour, farmers would be doing well,,,
Une redirection des montants alloués par l'agriculture vers les agriculteurs me semble logique. Les fonctionnaires agricoles en profitent trop... Si on rétribuait à l'heure travaillée, les agriculteurs s'en sortiraient correctement,,,

By offering all or part of public transport, the issue of increasing the number of roads and freeways would disappear, and the amounts reallocated would suffice...
