Asylum procedures outside Europe

Comment

This would facilitate the triaging between economic refugees and genuine refugees. Based on professional experience in negotiating repatriation agreements, I am of the opinion that repatriation to the home countries can function better in this way.

Das würde die Triagierung zwischen Wirtschaftsflüchtlingen und echten Flüchtlingen erleichtern. Aufgrund beruflicher Erfahrungen in der Verhandlung von Rückschaffungsabkommen bin ich der Meinung, dass so die Rückführung in die Heimatländer besser funktionieren kann.

Voting rights for foreigners

Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

There are limits to offspring. I have trouble with child adoption or surrogacy of two homosexual partners. A child still comes from the union of a woman and a man, and nature should be respected on this point.

Bei der Nachkommenschaft gibt es Grenzen. Ich habe Mühe mit der Kinderadoption oder Leihmutterschaft von zwei homosexuellen Partnern/innen. Ein Kind entsteht immer noch durch Vereinigung von Frau und Mann und die Natur sollte man in diesem Punkt respektieren.

Finances & taxes

Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

the individual responsibility of the private household may well be exercised. Without liberalization of captive customers, there will be no electricity agreement with the EU. Without an electricity agreement, grid security in Switzerland is at risk and with it the security of electricity supply. Switzerland should not take this risk.

die Eigenverantwortung des Privathaushaltes darf durchaus wahrgenommen werden. Ohne Liberalisierung der gefangenen Kunden wird es kein Stromabkommen mit der EU geben. Ohne Stromabkommen ist die Netzsicherheit in der Schweiz gefährdet und damit auch die Versorgungssicherheit mit Strom. Dieses Risiko sollte die Schweiz nicht eingehen.

Make housing construction regulations more flexible

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Wage equality between women and men

Energy & transport

Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

But the öV even more so that a shift to public transport can also take place.

Aber der öV noch mehr, damit auch eine Verlagerung in den ÖV stattfinden kann.

Ban new registrations of combustion engine vehicles from 2035

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Achieve climate targets through incentives

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Make the rules for renewable energy less strict

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

There is no alternative if we do not want to lose the race against time in the expansion. Where necessary, production and transport infrastructure must take precedence over the environment and landscape protection, because cold and dark rooms in winter are not an option.

Es ist alternativlos, wenn man den Wettlauf gegen die Zeit beim Ausbau nicht verlieren wollen. Produktions- und Transportinfrastruktur müssen wo notwendig den Vorrang vor Umwelt und Landschaftsshutz haben, denn kalte und dunkle Zimmer im Winter sind keine Option.

Authorize the construction of new nuclear power plants

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Provided based on new technology. The expansion of renewable energy will not be enough if Switzerland wants to have a strategic autonomy in electricity supply.

Sofern auf neuer Technologie basierend. Der Zubau der Erneuerbaren Energie wird nicht reichen, wenn die Schweiz eine strategische Autonomie bei der Stromversorgung haben will.

Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Re-export of Swiss weapons

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

If you allow the attacked person to defend himself, absolutely yes. It is downright embarrassing how Switzerland is now being pilloried internationally. It is unacceptable that Ukraine is not allowed to defend itself in the best possible way. Switzerland confuses means (neutrality) with ends (peace with neighbors).

Wenn man damit dem Angegriffenen erlaubt sich zu verteidigen, absolut ja. Es ist geradezu peinlich, wie die Schweiz nun international am Pranger steht. Es nicht nicht vermittelbar, dass man der Ukraine nicht erlaubt sich bestmöglich zu verteidigen. Die Schweiz verwechselt Mittel (Neutralität) mit Zweck (Frieden mit Nachbarn).

Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Foreign trade & foreign policy

Seek closer relations with the EU

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Because totally illusory. The US will a) not accept an agreement without agricultural liberalization, which is still not acceptable for CH and would make a bilateral solution at all levels of the economy with the EU more difficult. Politically and legally.

Weil total illusorisch. Die USA werden a) ein Abkommen ohne Landwirtschaftsliberalisierung nicht akzeptieren, was für die CH immer noch nicht akzeptabel ist und würde eine bilaterale Lösung auf allen Ebenen der Wirtschaft mit der EU erschweren. Politisch und rechtlich.

Comply with social and environmental standards

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

But only for blatant cases where the local judiciary is unfit and human rights and environmental standards have been violated AND the CH company would effectively have the possibility to prevent or subsequently remedy this.

Aber nur für krasse Fälle, wo die lokale Justiz untauglich ist und Menschenrechts- und Umweltstandards verletzt wurden UND das CH Unternehmen effektiv die Möglichkeit hätte dies zu verhindern oder nachträglich abzustellen.

Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Decidedly no. This would mean the end of the successful Swiss model and economic integration in the EU market, because an FTA would never have the same degree of integration. The UK and EU also have a free trade agreement, but it is not worth the paper it is written on, as it hardly goes beyond WTO law.

Dezidiert Nein. Damit wäre das Erfolgsmodell Schweiz und die wirtschaftliche Integration im EU Markt am Ende, weil ein FHA nie den gleichen Integrationsgrad hätte. Auch UK und EU haben ein Freihandelsabkommen, das aber das Papier nicht wert ist auf dem es steht, da es kaum über das WTO-Recht hinausgeht.

Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

But it should also not automatically simply adopt EU sanctions, and certainly not automatically adopt US sanctions. UN sanctions are ok, all others have to be considered situationally.

Aber sie soll auch nicht automatisch einfach EU Sanktionen, schon gar nicht automatisch US Sanktionen übernehmen. UNO Sanktionen sind ok, alle anderen müssen situativ betrachtet werden.

Free market economy

Comment

There are always winners and losers in competition, but prosperity is growing on the whole. However, due to resource bottlenecks in the world, we are reaching the limits of quantitative growth. Whether a free economy also enables qualitative growth, I would tend to answer in the affirmative.

Es gibt immer Gewinner und Verlierer im Wettbewerb aber der Wohlstand wächst im Grossen und Ganzen. Wir stossen aber aufgrund von Ressourcenengpässen in der Welt an die Grenz des quantiativen Wachstums. Ob eine freie Wirtschaft auch ein qualitatives Wachstum ermöglicht würde ich tendenziell bejahen.

But not exaggerated, so as not to discourage the "performers" to strive and earn more.

Aber nicht übertrieben, um die "Leistenden" nicht zu entmutigen sich anzustrengen und mehr zu verdienen.

Digitization offers more opportunities than risks

Comment

I'm not sure if the additional acceleration of (working) life and vulnerability to cyber attacks doesn't make the risks greater than the opportunities on balance.

Bin mir nicht sicher ob die zusätzliche Beschleunigung des (Arbeits-)lebens und Anfälligkeit auf Cyberangriffe nicht unter dem Strich die Risiken grösser macht als die Chancen.

Less. Focus on organic agriculture, reduction of protectionism, especially against developing countries that have competitive advantages. I am strictly opposed to export subsidies.

Weniger. Fokus auf Biolandwirtschaft, Abbau von Protektionimus vor allem gegenüber Entwicklungsländern, die Wettbebewerbsvorteile haben. Strikt dagegen bin ich gegen Exportsubventionen.
