Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
This is the demand made by Die Mitte with its "Fair Pensions" initiative.
Diese Forderung stellt Die Mitte mit ihrer «Faire-Renten»-Initiative.
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
MItte is in favor of the current BVG reform. It provides for a reduction in the statutory conversion rate in order to stop the redistribution from young to old. The statutory conversion rate only affects the mandatory part of the pension fund insurance. Only 15% of insured persons have only compulsory insurance. On average, insured persons have at least the same amount of extra-mandatory pension capital as mandatory.
Die MItte befürwortet die aktuelle BVG-Reform. Darin ist eine Senkung des gesetzlichen Umwandlungssatzes vorgesehen, um die Umverteilung von Jung zu Alt zu stoppen. Der gesetzliche Umwandlungssatz betrifft nur den obligatorischen Teil der Pensionskassenversicherung. Nur 15% der Versicherten sind nur obligatorisch versichert. Im Durchschnitt verfügen die Versicherten mindestens über gleich viel überobligatorisches Vorsorgekapital wie obligatorisch.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 promotion of non-profit housing is the task of the cantons and municipalities. The federal government has already granted a framework credit of CHF 250 million for this purpose in 2020 as part of the "Fonds de roulement".
Die Förderung des gemeinnützigen Wohnungsbaus ist Aufgabe der Kantone und Gemeinden. Der Bund hat hierfür 2020 bereits einen Rahmenkredit von 250 Millionen Franken im Rahmen des «Fonds de roulement» gesprochen.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
With the cost brake initiative, we are demanding measures from all players. Patients must also be prepared to take a step if necessary. For MItte, however, the measures of all other players are in the foreground.
Mit der Kostenbremse-Initiative fordern wird Massnahmen von allen Akteuren. Auch die Patienten:innen müssen notfalls bereit sein einen Schritt zu machen. Für die MItte stehen aber die Massnahmen aller anderen Akteure im Vordergrund.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Health care is the responsibility of the cantons. Nevertheless, it is also important to increasingly promote intercantonal cooperation in this area, for example in hospital planning. This is the only way to further reduce healthcare costs without sacrificing quality.
Die Gesundheitsversorgung ist Sache der Kantone. Dennoch gilt es auch vermehrt die überkantonale Zusammenarbeit in diesem Bereich bspw. bei der Spitalplanung zu fördern. Nur so können wir die Gesundheitskosten weiter senken ohne Qualität einzubüssen.
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
An integrative school is to be welcomed in principle. The practice of the last years shows that the implementation is very difficult.
Eine integrative Schule ist grundsätzlich zu begrüssen. Die Praxis der letzten Jahre zeit, dass die Umsetzung grosse Schwierigkeiten bereitet.
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 for the gymnasiale Matura are a matter for the cantons. For Die Mitte, however, it is important that vocational training continues to be given equal consideration alongside high school education and remains attractive for all.
Die Anforderungen an die gymnasiale Matura ist Sache der Kantone. Für Die Mitte ist jedoch wichtig, dass neben der gymnasialen Ausbildung auch die Berufsbildung weiterhin gleiche Berücksichtigung findet und für alle atttraktiv bleibt.
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

Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
National Councillor and centrist Heinz Siegenthaler has submitted a motion calling for the re-regulation of the canabis market in the interests of better protection for young people and consumers. This proposal is supported by the majority of the Mitte parliamentary group.
Nationalrat und Mitte-Politiker Heinz Siegenthaler fordert in einem Vorstoss die Neuregulierung des Canabismarktes im Sinne eines besseren Jugend- und Konsumentenschutzes. Dieser Vorstoss wird von der Mitte-Fraktoon mehrheitlich unterstützt.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The introduction of a third gender is associated with numerous civil law consequences in diverse areas of society. Examples are: Pension schemes, insurance, labor law, compulsory military service, etc. At this point in time, the first step is to analyze the consequences of a third gender.
Die Einführung eines Dritten Geschlechts ist verbunden mit zahlreichen zivilrechtlichen Konsequenzen in diversen Gesellschaftsbereichen. Beispiele sind: Vorsorge, Versicherungen, Arbeitsrecht, Wehrpflicht etc. Zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt gilt es darum zuerst die Folgen eines Dritten Geschlechts zu analysieren.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
At this point in time, the center refrains from tax cuts, as the federal government is confronted with many additional expenditures, for example in the areas of the army, childcare, etc.
Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt sieht die Mitte von Steuersenkungen ab, da der Bund mit vielen Mehrausgaben beispielsweise in den Bereichen Armee, Kinderbetreuung etc. konfrontiert ist.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The initiative of the FDP women demands the introduction of individual taxation. This is rejected by all cantons and various parties due to the administrative effort involved. It also creates new injustices. As a counter model, Die Mitte has launched the popular initiative for "Fair Taxes", which demands the alternative tax calculation. With this calculation, married couples still have to file only one tax return.
Die Initiative der FDP-Frauen fordert die Einführung der Individualbesteuerung. Diese wird aufgrund des administrativen Aufwandes von allen Kantonen und verschiedensten Parteien abgelehnt. Sie schafft zudem neue Ungerechtigkeiten. Als Gegenmodell hat Die Mitte die Volksinitiative für "Faire Steuern" lanciert, welche die alternative Steuerberechnung fordert. Mit dieser Berechnung müssen verheiratete Paare weiterhin nur eine Steuererklärung einreichen.
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]

Are you in favor of introducing a minimum wage of CHF 4,000 for all full-time employees?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Lessons must be learned from the failure of Credit Suisse. NOT MORE, BUT DIFFERENT REGULATION IS NEEDED FOR TO BIG TO FAIL BANKS! BANKS MUST BE ABLE TO FAIL, BUT WITHOUT A DOMINO EFFECT ON THE ECONOMY AS A WHOLE.
Es gilt die Lehren aus dem Scheitern der Credit Suisse zu ziehen. ES BRAUCHT NICHT MEHR, SONDERN ANDERE REGULIERUNG FÜR TO BIG TO FAIL BANKEN! BANKEN MÜSSEN KONKURS GEHEN KÖNNEN, ABER OHNE GESAMTWIRTSCHAFTLICHEN DOMINO-EFFEKT.
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
WE NEED AN ELECTRICITY AGREEMENT WITH THE EU. SO FAR, THE EU HAS INSISTED ON LIBERALIZATION OF THE RETAIL MARKET AS A PREREQUISITE FOR AN ELECTRICITY AGREEMENT. HOWEVER, LIBERALIZATION COULD REDUCE THE URGENTLY NEEDED MAJOR INVESTMENTS IN THE ELECTRICITY SECTOR.
WIR BRAUCHEN EIN STROMABKOMMEN MIT DER EU. BISHER BEHARRT DIE EU AUF DIE LIBERALISIERUNG DES ENDKUNDENMARKETS ALS VORAUSSETZUNG FÜR EIN STROMABKOMMEN. DIE LIBERALISIERUNG KÖNNTE ABER DIE DRINGEND NOTWENDIGEN GROSSEN INVESTITIONEN IM STROMBEREICH REDUZIEREN.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
At present, it appears that the automakers themselves are aiming for a phase-out by 2035. In this respect, the need for political action is not compelling.
Momentan zeichnet sich ab, dass die Automobilhersteller selbst einen Ausstieg bis 2035 anstreben. Insofern ist der politische Handlungsbedarf nicht zwingend gegeben.
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
The Climate Protection Act, which was also clearly approved by the center party base on June 18, 2023, provides for incentives and target agreements. Further measures may be possible, but further measures should only be necessary if the climate targets are missed.
Das Klimaschutzgesetz, welches am 18. Juni 2023 deutlich auch von der Basis der Mitte-Partei angenommen wurde, sieht Anreize und Zielvereinbarungen vor. Weitere Massnahmen können möglich sein, weitere Massnahmen sollen aber nur dann nötig sein, sollten die Klimaziele verfehlt werden.

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
Switzerland already has one of the strictest animal protection laws in the world. Further adjustments in the area of farm animal husbandry are therefore not currently planned.
Die Schweiz hat bereits heute eines der strengsten Tierschutzgesetze der Welt. Weitere Anpassungen im Bereich der Nutztierhaltung sind daher aktuell nicht vorgesehen.
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 |

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
A key success factor for an ecologically sustainable economy is the promotion of circular economy. Here, the center supports measures that improve the longevity of equipment or its reuse.
Ein wesentlicher Erfolgsfaktor für eine ökologisch nachhaltige Wirtschaft ist die Förderung von Kreislaufwirtschaft. Hier unterstützt die Mitte Massnahmen, welche die Langlebigkeit von Geräten oder deren Wiederverwendung verbessern.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The federal government should play a stronger role in government digitization projects in particular. E-voting, electronic patient files, or a digital debt register must be developed and implemented nationally. 26 Individual solutions in such areas are inefficient and expensive.
Gerade bei staatlichen Digitalisierungsprojekten sollte der Bund eine stärkere Rolle einnehmen. E-Voting, elektronische Patientendossiers, oder ein digitales Betreibungsregister müssen national entwickelt und umgesetzt werden. 26 Einzellösungen sind in solchen Bereichen ineffizient und teuer.
Strengthening regulation of big internet platforms

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
In parliament, Die Mitte has strongly supported the re-export of war material in the special case of Ukraine and has submitted corresponding proposals to parliament (Lex Ukraine). However, Die Mitte is critical of a general relaxation of the War Material Act.
Die Mitte hat sich im Parlament stark gemacht für eine Wiederausfuhr von Kriegsmaterial im Spezialfall Ukraine und hat hierfür entsprechende Vorstosse im Parlament eingereicht (Lex Ukraine). Einer generellen Lockerung des Kriegsmaterialgesetzes steht Die Mitte hingegen kritisch gegenüber.

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 center calls for the continuation of good bilateral relations with the EU. However, this is subject to the condition that the protection of wage levels and social security systems is ensured in the long term.
Die Mitte fordert die Weiterführung der guten bilateralen Beziehungen zur EU. Dies jedoch unter der Voraussetzung, dass der Schutz des Lohnniveaus sowie der Sozialwerke nachhaltig gesichert ist.
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 is an exciting trading partner for the Swiss economy. However, any free trade agreement should focus on the most important sectors such as the machine industry, pharmaceuticals, etc.
Die USA ist für die Schweizer Wirtschaft ein spannender Handelspartner. Ein allfälliges Freihandelsabkommen sollte sich jedoch auf die wichtigsten Branchen wie Maschinenindustrie, Pharma, etc. konzentrieren.
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
This is the counter-proposal to the Corporate Responsibility Initiative, which Die Mitte supported by a majority in parliament.
Hierbei handelt es sich um den Gegenvorschlag zur Konzernverantwortungs-Initiative, welcher Die Mitte im Parlament merheitlich unterstütz hat.

Comment
The cantons should provide the same amount of funding for individual premium reductions as the federal government. This is also in line with the counter-proposal to the SP's premium reduction initiative, which the center in parliament supports in this way. However, the primary goal is to get to the root of the problem of rising healthcare costs. For this, the center's cost brake initiative is needed.
Die Kantone sollen gleich viel Mittel für die individuelle Prämienverbilligung wie der Bund zur Verfügung stellen. Dies entspricht auch dem Gegenvorschlag zur Prämienentlasstungsinitiative der SP, den die Mitte im Parlament so unterstützt. Vorrangiges Ziel ist es jedoch die Problematik der steigenden Gesundheitskosten an der Wurzel zu packen. Hierfür braucht es die Kostenbremse-Initiative der Mitte.
