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
In principle, the socially disadvantaged should benefit, but on the other hand, premiums should not grow indefinitely. In the end, the benefits have to be paid by all of us, most of all by the middle class, which earns enough, but then can no longer benefit from reductions.
Grundsätzlich sollen sozial Benachteiligte davon profitieren, andererseits sollten aber auch die Prämien nicht unendlich wachsen. Schlussendlich müssen die Leistungen ja auch von uns allen bezahlt werden, im Endeffekt am meisten vom Mittelstand der genug verdient, aber dann auch nicht mehr von Verbilligungen profitieren kann.
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
We are also collecting signatures for this in our initiative.
Hierfür sammeln wir auch in unserer Initiative Unterschriften.
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
YES, due to the approximately 6-7 years longer life expectancy and the currently significantly worse investment opportunities, the conversion rate must be adjusted to reality. However, this does not rule out the possibility that it could be increased again in the medium term.
JA, aufgrund der rund 6-7 Jahre längeren Lebenserwartung sowie der aktuell deutlich schlechteren Anlagemöglichkeiten muss der Umwandlungssatz an die Realität angepasst werden. Dies schliesst aber nicht aus, dass er mittelfristig auch wieder erhöht werde könnte.
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
Yes, but in a moderate and financially viable way. Especially the part of fathers can be expanded, but should not have to be drawn, but can. We are talking about 5-10 weeks more than the maximum.
Ja, allerdings massvoll und finanzierbar. Besonders der Teil der Väter kann ausgebaut werden, sollte aber nicht bezogen werden müssen, sondern können. Wir reden hier von 5-10 Wochen mehr als Maximum.
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
Non-profit housing always benefits only one particular person. All others are excluded. It is much better to make regular payments to disadvantaged people, but to review them annually. This way, there is no need to invest in concrete for people who do not need the housing.
Der gemeinnützige Wohnungsbau kommt immer nur einer bestimmten Person zugute. Alle anderen sind ausgeschlossen. Viel besser ist es regelmässige Zahlungen an benachteiligte Personen auszulösen, diese jedoch jährlich zu überprüfen. So muss nicht in Beton investiert werden für Leute die den Wohnungsbau gar nicht benötigen.
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
In principle, parents should be able to decide whether and with what their children are vaccinated. However, there should be high incentives to vaccinate.
Grundsätzlich sollen Eltern entscheiden können, ob und womit ihre Kinder geimpft werden. Es sollten jedoch hohe Anreize zum Impfen gesetzt werden.
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
If this were introduced, companies would again increasingly use fats as flavor carriers to make food taste good. It would make much more sense to sensitize the population about the advantages and disadvantages of the individual dietary styles.
Wenn dies eingeführt würde, würden Unternehmen als Geschmacksträger wieder vermehrt Fette einsetzen, um Lebensmittel geschmackvoll zu machen. Es wäre viel sinnvoller die Bevölkerung über die Vor- und Nachteile der einzelnen Ernährungsstile zu sensibilisieren.
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
However, this can only work if at the same time the premium subsidies from the state side are increased for those in need.
Dies kann jedoch nur gehen, wenn gleichzeitig die Prämienzuschüsse von staatlicher Seite erhöht werden für Bedürftige.
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
We have done well with the solutions we have had so far, at least better than our neighboring countries.
Wir sind mit den bisherigen Lösungen gut gefahren, jedenfalls besser als unsere Nachbarländer.
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
In principle, this is a matter for the cantons, but it can also be tackled sensibly on a supracantonal basis. The federal government should provide incentives for the cantons to find joint solutions, especially in small cantons that border on others.
Grundsätzlich ist dies Sache der Kantone, kann aber auch überkantonal sinnvoll angegangen werden. Der Bund soll Anreize setzen, damit die Kantone gemeinsame Lösungen finden, besonders in kleinteiligen Kantonen, welche an andere grenzen.
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
Basically, this helps to include the children with disabilities and to accept them as part of the students. On the other hand, it is important that there is enough support for the teachers. Unfortunately, there are too few trained special educators who can provide this support. So the question arises whether a new separation could solve these bottlenecks?
Grundsätzlich hilft dies die Kinder mit Behinderungen zu inkludieren und als Bestandteil der Schüler zu akzeptieren. Auf der anderen Seite ist es wichtig, dass hier genügen Unterstützung da ist für die Lehrpersonen. Leider gibt es zu wenige ausgebildete Heilpädagogen, welche diese Unterstützung bieten können. Da stellt sich die Frage, ob eine erneute Trennung diese Engpässe beheben könnte?
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
The requirements should be kept high, but in NO case lowered! A lower hurdle does not create more students with the ability to take the Matura.
Die Anforderungen sollen hoch gehalten werden, aber auf KEINEN Fall gesenkt werden! Eine tiefere Hürde schafft nicht mehr Schüler mit der Fähigkeit zur Matur.
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
School is the key to integration and helps to avoid problems later on.
Die Schule ist der Schlüssel zur Integration und hilft mit spätere Probleme zu vermeiden.
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
It is important to note that at the federal level there are still certain hurdles to naturalization; on the other hand, active and passive voting rights for foreigners can certainly be introduced at the municipal level. However, a shorter residence period can help to reduce naturalization hurdles. At the same time, however, the linguistic hurdles must remain high, because naturalization is at the END and not at the beginning of integration.
Es ist wichtig, dass auf eidgenössischer Ebene nach wie vor gewisse Hürden zur Einbürgerung bestehen, andererseits kann auf kommunaler Ebene durchaus das aktive und passive Wahlrecht für Ausländer eingeführt werden. Jedoch kann eine kürzere Wohnsitzfrist helfen, Einbürgerungshürden abzubauen. Gleichzeitig müssen aber die sprachlichen Hürden weiterhin hoch bleiben, weil die Einbürgerung am ENDE und nicht am Anfang der Integration steht.
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
The economy needs skilled workers, so we should allow them.
Die Wirtschaft benötigt Fachkräfte, somit sollten wir diese zulassen.
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
This would reduce costs, create opportunities in other countries, and reduce pressure on those asylum seekers in Switzerland.
Dies würde die Kosten senken, Möglichkeiten in anderen Ländern schaffen und den Druck auf diejenigen Asylsuchenden in der Schweiz senken.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
This is a very ethical question. I think whoever wants to die today for health reasons can do so. In my opinion, further liberalization is not necessary.
Dies ist eine sehr ethische Frage. Ich denke, wer heute aus gesundheitlichen Gründen sterben möchte, kann dies tun. Eine weitere Liberalisierung ist meines Erachtens nicht nötig.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I have nothing against a third gender. I oppose, however, that the language must adapt everywhere to the third gender. Language should be able to be adapted where it makes sense, but not with coercion and without sense and reason.
Ich habe nichts gegen ein drittes Geschlecht. Ich wehre mich hingegen, dass die Sprache sich überall dem Dritten Geschlecht anpassen muss. Sprache soll dort wo sinnvoll angepasst werden können, aber nicht mit Zwang und ohne Sinn und Verstand.
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
Except for surrogacy, which is also not available to heterosexuals, homosexual couples can enjoy all rights.
Bis auf die Leihmutterschaft, welche auch für Heteros nicht zugänglich ist, können homosexuelle Paare alle Rechte geniessen können.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
YES, but only in a targeted and meaningful way.
JA, aber nur gezielt und sinnvoll.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This leads to a massive additional workload for the tax authorities and does not make the system any simpler, as well as abolishing the special protection of marriage.
Dies führt zu einem massiven Mehraufwand bei den Steuerbehörden und macht das System nicht einfacher sowie schafft den besonderen Schutz der Ehe ab.
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
A repeated taxation of already taxed funds makes no sense.
Eine nochmalige Besteuerung von bereits versteuerten Geldern macht keinen Sinn.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Incentives can be tried so that weaker cantons can benefit more without discouraging stronger cantons.
Es kann versucht werden Anreize zu setzen, damit schwächere Kantone mehr davon profitieren können ohne dass stärkere Kantone entmutigt werden.
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
A minimum wage always hits the weakest, who are thus thrown out of jobs in the medium term. That is not social.
Ein Mindestlohn trifft immer die Schwächsten, die so mittelfristig aus den Jobs fliegen. Das ist nicht sozial.
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
Yes, but it should make sense such as slight increase in capital adequacy requirements (which nota bene would not have helped at CS) and ban on bonuses in case of losses.
Ja, aber es sollte sinnvoll sein wie z. B. leichte Erhöhung der Eigenmittelvorschriften (welche nota bene bei der CS nicht geholfen hätte) und Verbot von Boni bei Verlusten.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Especially in the cities, regulations are getting out of hand, complicating and making housing more expensive, so that only large corporations can afford to build. This also helps to reduce the housing shortage.
Insbesondere in den Städten nehmen die Vorschriften Überhand und verkomplizieren und verteuern das Wohnen so dass nur noch grosse Konzerne sich bauen leisten können. Dies hilft auch dabei die Wohnungsnot abzubauen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Where appropriate, this should be done.
Dort wo sinnvoll, soll dies geschehen.
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
An isolated solution for Switzerland only would probably not make sense. However, the question arises whether it makes sense to buy Chinese electric cars instead of European combustion cars...
Eine Insellösung nur für die Schweiz wäre wohl nicht sinnvoll. Es stellt sich jedoch die Frage, ob es sinnig ist anstelle europäischer Verbrennungsautos chinesische Elektroautos zu kaufen...
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Depending on the development of energy policy and especially renewable energies and their use (charging capacities and digitalization), it would be foolish to exclude a proven technology per se.
Je nach Entwicklung der Energiepolitik und v.a. der erneuerbaren Energien und deren Nutzung (Ladekapazitäten und Digitalisierung) wäre es töricht eine bewährte Technologie per se auszuschliessen.
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
Particularly in the area of housing shortages in cities, this can provide a good counterweight and massively increase the attractiveness of peripheral regions.
Insbesondere im Bereich der Wohnungsnot in Städten kann dies ein gutes Gegengewicht bilden und die Attraktivität von Randregionen massiv erhöhen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Meat production also has a social aspect. If only rich people can afford meat due to high standards, this leads to social tensions!
Fleischproduktion hat auch einen sozialen Aspekt. Wenn sich nur noch Reiche Fleisch leisten können aufgrund hoher Vorgaben, führt dies zu sozialen Spannungen!
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
The question arises as to what all is defined as a region for this purpose.
Es stellt sich die Frage, was alles als Region hierzu definiert wird.
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
If plastic is properly recycled, i.e. incinerated, it does not pose such a big problem for the environment. We should rather focus on creating incentives for sensible recycling than on creating bans.
Wenn Plastik richtig verwertet, sprich verbrannt wird, stellt dieser für die Umwelt kein so grosses Problem dar. Wir sollten uns eher darauf fokussieren Anreize für sinnvolles Recycling zu schaffen als Verbote zu kreieren.
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
However, this cannot really lead to success at the level of Switzerland, if will only be successful in cooperation with the EU.
Allerdings kann dies auf Ebene der Schweiz nicht wirklich zu Erfolgen führen, wenn wird dies nur in Zusammenarbeit mit der EU erfolgreich sein.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
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
In principle yes, but the question of the definition of disinformation arises very quickly...this can be very subjective.
Grundsätzlich ja, jedoch stellt sich sehr schnell die Frage nach der Definition von Desinformation...dies kann sehr subjektiv sein.
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
It is important to show the limits to public radio and television, but a public service is also necessary and important here, because otherwise only the media with the most financial resources can inform the population.
Es ist wichtig dem öffentlichen Rundfunk und Fernsehen die Grenzen aufzuzeigen, allerdings ist ein Service Public hier auch nötig und wichtig, da ansonsten nur die Medien mit den meisten finanziellen Mitteln die Bevölkerung informieren können.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
So far, it has not really been shown that boys are more active under 18 than over 18. However, this may change again in 2-3 years.
Bisher hat sich nicht wirklich gezeigt, dass Junge aktiver sind unter 18 als über 18. Allerdings kann dies in 2-3 Jahren wieder ändern.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
YES, otherwise we will destroy the Swiss weapons industry. If not in the case of an attack, when else should weapons be allowed to be used?
JA, ansonsten richten wir die Schweizer Waffenindustrie zu Grunde. Wenn nicht im Angriffsfall, wann sonst sollen Waffen verwendet werden dürfen?
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
To the extent that this can be done and controlled by proportionate means, yes.
Soweit dies mit verhältnismässigen Mitteln gemacht und kontrolliert werden kann, ja.
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]

However, every market economy must be supplemented with social compensation mechanisms in the sense of a social market economy. Only in this way can the weak also be taken along.
Jedoch muss jede Marktwirtschaft mit sozialen Ausgleichsmechanismen ergänzt werden im Sinne einer sozialen Marktwirtschaft. Nur so können auch die Schwachen mitgenommen werden.

To a certain extent, this should be the case, but complete egalitarianism can destroy any incentive to perform. And this raises again the question of who provides the services for the general public.

It comes down to this. Environmental protection must be financially viable for it to be accepted. Only then can it be implemented and also be at the expense of economic growth.
Es kommt darauf an. Umweltschutz muss finanziell tragbar sein, damit er akzeptiert wird. Erst dann kann er umgesetzt werden und auch zu Lasten des Wirtschaftswachtsums gehen.

Comment
More important than the quantity is the efficiency of spending. Spending should be effective. More money does not necessarily bring more and less money less!
Wichtiger als die Menge ist die Effizienz der Ausgaben. Die Ausgaben sollen wirkungsvoll sein. Mehr Geld bringt nicht zwingend mehr und weniger Geld weniger!

Even if the motto more money is not better also applies here, more money should be spent on integration in particular.

Comment
In principle, the retirement age should be based on the effective age. When the AHV was introduced, people in Switzerland could benefit from the AHV for a maximum of around 6 years. Nowadays it is almost 20 years! Thus, the benefits of the AHV have been massively expanded in recent years. In order not to intensify this, the AHV age should be oriented to the age of life.
Grundsätzlich sollte sich das Rentenalter am effektiven Lebensalter orientieren. Bei der Einführung der AHV konnten die Menschen in der Schweiz während rund maximal 6 Jahren von der AHV profitieren. Heutzutage sind es fast 20 Jahre! Somit wurden die Leistungen der AHV in den letzten Jahren massiv ausgeweitet. Um dies nicht noch zu verstärken, sollte sich das AHV Alter am Lebensalter orientieren.
