| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Grundsätzlich unterstütze ich gesetzliche Massnahmen zur Reduktion des Zuckergehalts.

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

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
In principle, I welcome the increase in third-country continents. Because on the one hand, this helps to ensure that skilled workers can work in Switzerland - on the other hand, it is also a way of dismantling the high wall around Europe. But of course, Switzerland itself must also train enough skilled workers.
Grundsätzlich begrüsse ich die Erhöhung der Drittstaatenkontinente. Denn dies hilft zum einen, dass Fachkräfte in der Schweiz arbeiten können – zum anderen ist es auch eine Möglichkeit, die hohe Mauer um Europa abzubauen. Selbstverständlich muss aber auch die Schweiz selbst genügend Fachkräfte ausbilden.

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
The direct federal tax is a solidarity-based tax, because the rich and companies pay more than the poor - this is due to progressive tariffs. A reduction of the direct federal tax would mean that the rich would become even richer. At the same time, the public service would be weakened.
Die direkte Bundessteuer ist eine solidarische Steuer, denn Reiche und Unternehmen zahlen mehr als Arme - dies aufgrund progressiver Tarife. Eine Reduktion der direkten Bundessteuer würde bedeuten, dass die Reichen noch reicher werden. Gleichzeitig würde damit der Service public geschwächt.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| 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
In principle, I am in favor of easements; however, noise protection in particular must not be forgotten. Because I reject measures that cause a deterioration in the quality of living and life.
Grundsätzlich stehe ich Erleichterungen positiv gegenüber; allerdings muss insbesondere der Lärmschutz nicht vergessen werden. Denn Massnahmen, die eine Verschlechterung der Wohn- und Lebensqualität bewirken, lehne ich ab.

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
In principle, the focus should be on public investments to combat the climate crisis. However, exceptions, such as a ban on short-haul flights, are also conceivable - especially if a corresponding destination can also be reached by train.
Grundsätzlich sollten öffentliche Investitionen gegen die Klimakrise im Zentrum stehen. Jedoch sind auch Ausnahmen, wie z.B. ein Verbot von Kurzstreckenflügen, denkbar - insb. wenn ein entsprechendes Ziel auch mit dem Zug erreicht werden kann.
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
Certain regulations urgently need to be preserved, such as residual flows for hydropower plants; or biotope protection for hydropower plants and/or large PV plants.
Gewisse Vorschriften müssen dringend erhalten bleiben, wie z.B. die Restwassermengen bei Wasserkraftwerken; oder der Biotopschutz bei Wasserkraftwerken und/oder grossen PV-Anlagen.

Introduce progressive electricity tariffs
Would you be in favor of the introduction of increasing electricity tariffs when consumption is higher (progressive electricity tariffs)?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Even if the measure sounds good in principle, it would have unacceptable social consequences: Tenants who are dependent on electric heating (often people with low incomes) would be penalized.
Auch wenn die Massnahme grundsätzlich gut tönt, hätte sie inakzeptable soziale Folgen: Mieter:innen, die auf eine Elektro-Heizung angewiesen sind (das sind häufig auch Menschen mit tiefen Einkommen), würden dadurch bestraft.

Durch diese Massnahme (gezielter Einsatz öffentlicher Mittel) wird der dringend nötige ökologische Umbau der Landwirtschaft begünstigt und beschleunigt.
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)?

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
This type of referendum would make it possible to attack the financing of numerous social policy measures or climate protection measures. I would like to prevent that.
Diese Art Referendum würde es erlauben, die Finanzierung zahlreiche sozialpolitischer Massnahmen oder von Massnahmen zum Klimaschutz anzugreifen. Das möchte ich verhindern.
Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment

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
International economic relations must respect strict rules regarding environmental and climate protection and the protection of human and fundamental rights. If international agreements meet these criteria, we can support them. If not, they are not to be supported.
Internationale Wirtschaftsbeziehungen müssen strikte Regeln bzgl. Umwelt- und Klimaschutz sowie bzgl. Schutz der Menschen- und Grundrechte respektieren. Wenn internationale Abkommen diesen Kriterien entsprechen, können wir sie unterstützen. Falls nicht, sind sie nicht zu unterstützen.
