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
Families in particular sometimes pay more than 10% of their income for health insurance premiums without the cantons having noticeably increased the premium reductions.
Gerade Familien zahlen z.T. mehr als 10% ihres Einkommens für KK-Prämien, ohne dass die Kantone die Prämienverbilligungen spürbar erhöht hätten.
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
See our initiative https://www.evppev.ch/politik/kampagnen/kampagnen/ja-zu-fairness/ This marriage penalty in the AHV is unjust, since married couples pay in the same as cohabiting couples, but receive significantly less AHV pension.
Siehe unsere Initiative https://www.evppev.ch/politik/kampagnen/kampagnen/ja-zu-fairness/ Diese Heiratsstrafe bei der AHV ist un-gerecht, da Ehepaare gleich einzahlen wie Konkubinatspaare, aber deutlich weniger AHV-Rente erhalten.
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
The EVP members of the National Council have voted in favor of the bill. However, the question of the reduction to 6.0% is only one part of the bill, which should not be viewed in isolation (there are also compensatory measures; lowering the entry barriers so that part-time workers can also build up pensions, etc.).
Die EVP-Nationalratsmitglieder haben der Vorlage zugestimmt. Die Frage der Senkung auf 6.0% ist aber nur ein Teil der Vorlage, die man nicht isoliert betrachten darf (Es geht auch um Ausgleichsmassnahmen; Senkung der Einstiegshürden, damit auch Teilzeitarbeitende Renten bilden können etc.)
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
For a strengthening of the family. The initial period after birth is very important and valuable for families. Expanding parental leave will strengthen young families in the long term.
Für eine stärkung der Familie. Die Anfangszeit nach der Geburt ist für Familien sehr wichtig und wertvoll. Mit einem Ausbau der Elternzeit werden junge Familien langfristig gestärkt.
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 EPP rejected the initiative at the time, but supported the counter-proposal, which provided for more financial resources from the federal government. Non-profit housing can counteract rising rents. In principle, however, the responsibility for this lies more at the municipal level.
Die EVP hat damals die Initiative abgelehnt, aber den Gegenvorschlag unterstützt, der mehr finanzielle Mittel seitens Bund vorsah. Gemeinnütziger Wohnungsbau kann steigenden Mietpreisen entgegenwir-ken. Grundsätzlich liegt die Zuständig-keit dafür aber eher auf Gemeinde-ebene.
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
To fight eradicated diseases, this is a good solution. But only vaccinations that have been tested for a long time should be mandatory. The vaccination rate among children in Switzerland is high. Education and good communication is preferable to compulsory vaccination. As a last resort to protect the child, the possibility of compulsory vaccination should be maintained.
Um Ausgerottete Krankheiten zu bekämpfen ist dies eine gute Lösung. Aber es sollen nur Impfungen Pflicht sein die lange getestet wurden. Die Impfquote bei Kindern in der Schweiz ist hoch. Aufklärung und eine gute Kommunikation ist einer Pflicht vorzuziehen. Als letztes Mittel zum Schutz des Kindes soll die Möglichkeit einer Impfpflicht aber beibehalten wer-den.
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
Today, the CH sugar industry is even still subsidized. The abolition of subsidies would be a good first step. However, I am more interested in creating awareness for healthy nutrition than in harming the farmers. Products with a lot of sugar should become more expensive and thus unattractive.
Heute wird die CH-Zuckerindustrie sogar noch subventioniert. Die Abschaffung der Subventionierung wäre ein guter erster Schritt. Es geht mir aber mehr darum, um ein bewusstsein für gesunde Ernährung zu schaffen, als den Bauern zu schaden. Produkte mit viel Zucker sollen teurer und somit unatraktiv werden.
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
An increase in the minimum deductible rate hits the wrong people. Namely, those with chronic diseases and those who really suffer. Other measures are needed to prevent people from going to hospital because of every Boboli.
Eine erhöhung der Mindestfranchise trifft die falschen. Nämlich die mit chronischen Krankheiten und diejenigen die echt leiden. Um zu verhindern, dass man wegen jedem Boboli ins Spital geht braucht es andere Massnahmen.
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
In principle, the Federal Council has tried to act with a sense of proportion. One has now also learned from the cooperation.
Grundsätzlich hat der Bundesrat versucht mit Augenmass zu handeln. Man hat nun gerade auch aus der Zusammenarbeit, gelernt.
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 view of the exploding costs, we simply can no longer afford the cantonal spirit that leads to inefficiency.
Angesichts der explodierenden Kosten können wir uns den Kantönligeist, der zu Ineffizienz führt, schlicht nicht mehr leisten.
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
EVP is for inclusion and with enough resources it is possible and makes sense. BUT inclusion needs a lot of resources and support of the teachers. If this is not possible due to a lack of specialists and cost-cutting measures, the burden on teachers is too great. The general school level must not be allowed to decline.
EVP ist für Inklusion und mit genügend Ressourcen ist das gut möglich und sinnvoll. ABER Inklusion braucht sehr viele Ressourcen und Unterstützung der Lehrpersonen. Wenn dies aufgrund Fachkräftemangel und Sparmas-snahmen nicht möglich ist, ist die Belastung der Lehrpersonen zu gross. Dass allgemeine Schulniveau darf nicht sinken.
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 dual education system should be promoted. We have enough academics. We need more people who can also get things done. Our dual education system and especially the high permeability (vocational baccalaureate, etc.) is a great asset. Those young people should complete a gymnasiale Matura who aspire to a university education. If tertiary education can be achieved via vocational training, this path should also be prioritized.
Es soll das Duale Bildungssystem gefördert werden. Wir haben genug Akademiker. Es braucht mehr Leute die auch anpacken können. Unser duales Bildungssystem und vor allem die hohe Durchlässigkeit (Berufsmatura etc.) ist ein hohes Gut. Es sollen jene Jugendlichen eine gymnasiale Matura absolvieren, die eine universitäre Ausbildung anstreben. Wenn eine Tertiär-ausbildung über die Berufsbildung erreicht werden kann, soll dieser Weg auch priorisiert werden.
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
Equal opportunity is important and can be established with targeted support.
Chancengleichheit ist wichtig und kann mit gezielter Förderung hergestellt werden.
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
A general relaxation or even automatic citizenship at birth in Switzerland is rejected. Naturalization is the end of integration, not the start.
Eine generelle Lockerung oder gar ein automatisches Bürgerrecht bei Geburt in der Schweiz wird abgelehnt. Die Einbürgerung ist der abschluss der Integration nicht der Start.
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 shortage of freight workers should be countered with targeted promotion of these professions in training, etc. Not with even more people and overpopulation. Even highly qualified workers from non-EU/EFTA countries must first be trained on our system.
Dem Frachkräftemangel soll mit gezielter Förderung dieser Berufe in Ausbildung usw entgegnet werden. Nicht mit noch mehr Menschen und überbevölkerung. Selbst hochqualifizierte Arbeitnehmer aus Nicht-EU/EFTA Staaten müssen zuerst auf unser System geschult werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Those who want to participate in decision-making should work for proper naturalization. Voting and election rights should continue to be linked to citizenship.
Wer mitbestimmen will soll sich für eine ordentliche Einbürgerung einsetzen. Das Stimm- und Wahlrecht soll weiter-hin mit der Staatsbürgerschaft ver-knüpft sein.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Basically, our aim is to have as few people as possible who consume mind-altering substances. Legalization would only be an option if this would lead to a decrease in the number of consumers, through better prevention or stronger protection of minors.
Grundsätzlich ist es unser Bestreben, möglichst wenig Personen zu haben, welche bewusstseinsverändernde Stoffe konsumieren. Eine Legalisierung wäre nur eine Option, wenn dies zu ei-ner Abnahme der Konsumenten führen würde, durch bessere Prävention oder stärkeren Jugendschutz.
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
For the JEVP, the protection of life is central. Direct active euthanasia is unethical. Instead, palliative care must be strengthened to ensure aging in dignity.
Für die JEVP ist der Schutz des Lebens zentral. Die direkte aktive Sterbehilfe ist unethisch. Stattdessen gilt es Palliativ-Care zu stärken, um ein Altern in Würde zu sichern.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
At best, for the few cases that are neither clearly "male" nor "female" biologically, but not to give themselves a perceived gender without more precise justification.
Allenfalls für die wenigen Fälle, die biologisch weder klar «männlich» noch «weiblich» sind, jedoch nicht, um sich selber ein gefühltes Geschlecht ohne genauere Begründung zu geben.
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
I find equality needs in inequalities illogical
Ich finde Gleichheitsbedürfnisse bei Ungleichheiten unlogisch
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
Even without tax cuts, the federal government has to put together austerity packages. Currently, the situation of the federal finances is tense and a tax cut would therefore be associated with a strong reduction in services.
Schon ohne Steuersenkungen muss der Bund Sparpakete schnüren. Aktuell ist die Situation um die Bundes-finanzen angespannt und eine Steuer-senkung wäre deshalb mit starkem Leistungsabbau verbunden.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
See our initiative. https://www.evppev.ch/politik/kampagnen/kampagnen/ja-zu-fairness/ Individual taxation would be to the disadvantage of double-income families in the middle class. Taxation with full splitting would be the fair alternative.
Siehe unsere Initiative. https://www.evppev.ch/politik/kampagnen/kampagnen/ja-zu-fairness/ Die Individualbesteuerung würde zulas-ten von Doppelverdiener-Familien im Mittelstand ausfallen. Die Besteuerung mit Vollsplitting wäre die faire Alterna-tive.
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
In 2012, the EPP, together with partners, launched an initiative for an inheritance tax reform. This provided for taxing inheritances exceeding CHF 2 million. An inheritance tax would counteract growing inequality and is a fair form of taxation. However, the design would have to take family businesses into account.
Die EVP hat 2012 zusammen mit Partnern eine Initiative für eine Erbschaftssteuerreform lanciert. Diese sah vor, Erbschaften zu besteuern, die über Fr. 2 Mio. gingen. Eine Erbschaftssteuer würde wachsen-der Ungleichheit entgegenwirken und ist eine faire Art der Besteuerung. Die Ausgestaltung müsste jedoch auf Fami-lienbetriebe Rücksicht nehmen.
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
The differences in the tax burden are partly huge, because cantons like ZG and NW have such low tax rates. A tightening of the fiscal equalization, so that the tax rates are equalized, makes perfect sense. But I don't think it's a good idea to put money into cantons that don't know how to handle the money.
Die Unterschiede bei der Steuerbelastung sind z.T. riesig, da Kantone wie ZG und NW so tiefe Steuersätze kennen. Eine Verschärfung des Finanzausgleichs, damit sich die Steuersätze angleichen, macht durchaus Sinn. Aber Geld in Kantone buttern die nicht mit dem Geld umgehen können, finde ich nicht gut.
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 also prevents, for example, internships or that people who cannot perform at full capacity can no longer find a job because they become too expensive. However, work should be fairly remunerated - here CHF 4,000 is an appropriate minimum value.
Ein Mindestlohn verhindert beispielsweise auch Praktikumsstellen oder dass Leute die nicht die volle Leistung bringen können keine Stelle mehr finden, da sie zu teuer werden. Allerdings soll Arbeit fair entlöhnt werden – hier sind CHF 4'000 ein angemessener Mindestwert.
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
The CS crisis has shown that the financial sector, as a provider of basic services, needs stricter regulations. After all, the risk often lies with the general public.
Die CS-Krise hat gezeigt, dass der Fi-nanzsektor als Dienstleister des Grund-bedarfs strengere Vorschriften braucht. Das Risiko liegt nämlich häufig bei der Allgemeinheit .
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
Liberalization is not necessary and has often proven inefficient and expensive abroad. Moreover, the current system makes it easier to promote renewable electricity.
Eine Liberalisierung ist nicht notwendig und hat sich im Ausland oft als ineffi-zient und teuer erwiesen. Ausserdem ist mit dem jetzigen System die Förde-rung von erneuerbarem Strom einfa-cher.
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
Quality should not be sacrificed. Densification in order to protect cultivated land makes sense. A higher utilization factor enables more dense building. We are critical of the relaxation of noise protection. In addition, the protection of historical monuments should be relaxed.
Es soll nicht bei der Qualität gesparrt werden. Eine Verdichtung um Kulturland zu schützen ist sinnvoll. Eine höhere Ausnutzungsziffer ermög-licht verdichteteres Bauen. Lockerun-gen beim Lärmschutz sehen wir kritisch. Zudem soll der Denkmalschutz gelockert werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In principle, yes. However, new regulations for large companies have come into force (from 100 employees). An extension to companies with 50 employees would be welcome.
Grundsätzlich ja. Neue Regelungen für grosse Unternehmen sind jedoch in Kraft getreten (ab 100 Mitarbeitenden). Eine Ausweitung auf Unternehmen mit 50 Mitarbeitenden wäre begrüssenswert.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
However, this does not solve the problem of the individual verkerhr.
Damit ist das Problem des Individualverkerhrs aber nicht gelöst.
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
It is questionable whether this is necessary, since EU regulations and demand will regulate this themselves anyway. But it is clear that combustion engines must go. (Bans: See also next question)
Fraglich ob es das braucht, da EU-Regeln sowie die Nachfrage das ohnehin selber regeln wird. Dass Verbrennungsmotoren aber weg müssen, ist klar. (Verbote: Siehe auch nächste Frage)
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 and target agreements sound good, but they are expensive and inefficient. Sometimes a ban simply makes more sense (see ban on CFCs) and achieves a faster effect.
Anreize und Zielvereinbarungen klingen gut, sind aber teuer und ineffizient. Manchmal ist ein Verbot einfach sinnvoller (siehe Verbot FCKW) und erreicht schneller Wirkung.
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
The energy transition and securing the energy supply are top priorities. However, a limitless relaxation is not appropriate; pragmatic solutions are needed.
Die Energiewende und die Sicherung der Energieversorgung haben höchste Priorität. Eine grenzenlose Lockerung ist aber nicht angebracht, es braucht pragmatische Lösungen.
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
The EVP is in favor of the nuclear phase-out. Besides, it is hardly possible to build new nuclear power plants today (costs, nobody wants to insure it, not suitable for a majority, no siting community wants a new nuclear power plant, etc.).
Die EVP ist für den Atomausstieg. Ausserdem ist es heute kaum mehr möglich, neue Atomkraftwerke zu bauen (Kosten, niemand will es versichern, nicht mehrheitsfähig, keine Standortgemeinde will ein neues AKW etc.)
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
I think a guarantee is too much. Enable, yes. Public service is called public service because the services and infrastructure it contains should be equally accessible to the entire population. For this to be true, there needs to be a good public service in the countryside. However, there is no great need for action at the moment.
Garantie finde ich zu viel. Ermöglichen ja. Service Public heisst Service Public, weil die darin enthaltenen Dienstleistungen und Infrastruktur der ganzen Bevölke-rung gleich zugänglich sein sollten. Da-mit das zutrifft, braucht es ein gutes Service-Public-Angebot auf dem Land. Allerdings besteht im Moment kein grosser Handlungsbedarf.
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
Incentives to save electricity make sense. However, this could also disadvantage climate-friendly decisions (e.g. replacement of oil heating by heat pumps).
Anreize zum Stromsparen sind sinnvoll. Könnte jedoch auch klimaverträgliche Entscheide (z.B. Ersatz Ölheizung durch Wärmepumpe) benachteiligen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
For me, this is a typical incentive system. Subsidies in agriculture are intended to provide sensible incentives for an ecological turnaround. However, farms should not be completely excluded from direct payments, as these are also important for the basic supply.
Für mich ein typisches Anreizsystem. Mit den Subventionen in der Landwirt-schaft sollen sinnvolle Anreize für die ökologische Wende gesetzt werden. Es sollen aber nicht Betriebe vollkommen von Direktzahlungen ausgeschlossen werden, da auch diese wichtig für die Grundversorgung sind.
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

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
30% is considered necessary by experts. EU has set this as a target However, it may be difficult for Switzerland to achieve this, as the share is currently estimated at just under 15%.
30% wird von Experten als notwendig erachtet. EU hat dies als Ziel festgesetzt womöglich lässt sich das für die Schweiz aber nur schwer umsetzen, da der Anteil aktuell auf knapp 15% ge-schätzt 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
In the spirit of the circular economy We should recycle as many of our used resources as possible and avoid non-recyclable materials wherever possible.
Im Sinne der Kreislaufwirtschaft Wir sollten so viele unserer verwende-ten Ressourcen wiederverwerten und auf nicht-rezyklierbare Stoffe wo immer möglich verzichten.
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
Devices with a deliberately short service life are harmful to consumers and consume an unnecessary amount of resources.
Geräte mit absichtlich kurzer Nutzungs-dauer sind schädlich für Konsumentin-nen und Konsumenten und verbrau-chen unnötig viel Ressourcen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A strong mobile network is important for di-gitalization.
Ein starkes Mobilfunktnetz ist für die Di-gitalisierung wichtig.
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
There is still a great need for action, particularly in the area of information security. The federal government should be able to define and enforce uniform requirements in this area.
Insbesondere in der Informationssi-cherheit besteht noch grosser Hand-lungsbedarf. Der Bund soll hier einheit-liche Vorgaben festlegen und durchset-zen können.
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
Government guidelines are important to ensure that private platform operators do not pursue profit maximization indefinitely, but also assume their responsibility.
Staatliche Vorgaben sind wichtig, damit die privaten Plattformbetreibenden sich nicht unbegrenzt nach Profitmaxi-mierung ausrichten, sondern auch ihre Verantwortung wahrnehmen.
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 |

Since I am only an indirect user of SRF, I think it should be paid for through my taxes and not via fees.
Da ich nur indirekter Nutzer von SRF bin, finde ich soll das über meine Steuern und nicht via Gebühren bezahlt werden.
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 am in favor of active voting rights on request. Whoever stands up and makes a request should be allowed to vote and vote. For an office it needs the volljährikeit. A general right to vote I do not support

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
For me, that would be a strong sign of direct democracy. But it could lead to important processes being blocked. In addition, there are already a lot of votes taking place.
Das wäre für mich ein starkes zeichen der Direkten Demokratie. Könnte aber dazu führen, dass wichtige Prozesse blockiert werden könnten. Zudem finden schon jetzt sehr viele Abstimmungen statt.

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
In order to be able to perform its valuable role as a neutral state, Switzerland should not move closer to NATO. However, selective cooperation can be useful in order to benefit from mutual expertise.
Um die wertvolle Rolle als neutraler Staat wahrnehmen zu können, soll sich die Schweiz nicht der NATO annähern. Punktuelle Zusammenarbeit kann jedoch sinnvoll sein, um von gegenseitigem Fachwissen zu profitieren.
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 EPP members of the National Council have supported this in parliament. The example of Ukraine shows that there are situations in which one should stand behind the victim of an aggressor for moral reasons.
Die EVP-Nationalratsmitglieder haben das im Parlament unterstützt. Das Beispiel der Ukraine zeigt, dass es Situationen gibt, in welchen man sich aus moralischen Gründen hinter das Opfer eines Aggressors stellen sollte.

In principle, a free trade agreement with the USA can bring advantages for Switzerland. However, social and ecological aspects must be taken into account when designing the agreement.

For the development of a child it is valuable if the parents can take care of the upbringing - but this does not have to be a single parent. But also other family members and professional external care can ensure a good development.
Für die Entwicklung eines Kindes ist es wertvoll, wenn die Eltern sich um die Er-ziehung kümmern können – dies muss aber nicht ein einzelnes Elternteil sein. Aber auch weitere Familienmitglieder und professionelle externe Betreuun-gen können eine gute Entwicklung si-cherstellen.

Punishment, and thus deterrence, is a component of justice. In principle, however, reintegration into society should be the goal. At the same time, criminals who regret their actions and can be classified as harmless should be allowed to live in freedom.
Die Bestrafung und damit auch die Ab-schreckung ist ein Bestandteil der Jus-tiz. Grundsätzlich soll aber die Wieder-eingliederung in die Gesellschaft das Ziel sein. Gleichzeitig soll Kriminellen, die ihre Tat bereuen und als ungefähr-lich eingestuft werden können, ein Le-ben in Freiheit ermöglicht werden.

At the moment, due to Ukraine, we are at about 0.56% of GDP. This is more than ever before. Because of Ukraine, it will certainly lead to additional spending.
Momentan sind wir aufgrund der Ukraine bei ca. 0,56% des BIP. Dies ist mehr als jemals zuvor. Wegen der Ukraine wird es sicher noch zu Mehrausgaben führen.
Comment
Certainly an issue in the long term; however, so soon after the increase in the AHV age for women, it is not appropriate to adopt the initiative for this.
Langfristig sicher ein Thema; so kurz nach der Erhöhung des AHV-Alters für Frauen ist es jedoch nicht angebracht, die Initiative dafür anzunehmen.
