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
But this is a stopgap measure at best. The solution is not to subsidize more and more private health insurers, but to replace this self-interested cartel with a single, public health insurer, with income-based premiums. We also need to tackle the abusive margins of pharmaceutical companies (a sector that should be nationalized).
Mais c'est tout au plus un palliatif. La solution n'est pas de subventionner toujours plus des caisses privées, mais de remplacer ce cartel intéressé par une caisse maladie unique et publique, avec des primes en fonction du revenu. De s'attaquer aussi aux marges abusives des entreprises pharmaceutiques (secteur qu'il faudrait nationaliser).
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
Pensions are currently insufficient, and far too many people still only receive AHV. There is no justification for capping couples' pensions.
Les rentes sont actuellement insuffisantes, et beaucoup trop de personnes ne touchent encore que l'AVS. Le plafonnement des rentes de couple ne se justifie en aucune manière.
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
This is an unacceptable theft of pensions! Rather than dismantling pensions, the PST-POP proposes merging the 1st and 2nd pillars into a pay-as-you-go system. The AVS is a much safer system, infinitely more socially just than the LPP, and does not depend on the vagaries of the financial markets.
Il s'agit d'un inacceptable vol des rentes! Plutôt que de démanteler les retraites, le PST-POP propose de fusionner le Ier et le IIème pilier dans un système par répartition. L'AVS est en effet un système beaucoup plus sûr, infiniment plus juste socialement que la LPP, et ne dépend pas des aléas des marchés financiers.
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
Switzerland lags far behind when it comes to social rights.

Further encourage the construction of social housing
Should the federal government provide more financial support for public housing construction? [BePart question]

Comment
Housing should be taken out of the market
Le logement devrait être soustrait au marché
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
Vaccination is indispensable. Diseases that used to kill on a massive scale are now a thing of the past in our country, thanks to vaccination. It's a public health imperative, not just a matter of individual choice. However, compulsory vaccination should only concern those vaccines that are truly recognized as essential.
La vaccination est indispensable. Des maladies qui tuaient massivement dans le passé appartiennent à l'histoire dans notre pays grâce à la vaccination. Il s'agit d'un impératif de santé publique, et pas uniquement d'un choix individuel. L'obligation ne devrait concerner toutefois que les vaccins vraiment reconnus comme indispensables.
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
Sugar is a public health problem - largely due to industrial food - and its consumption should be reduced. But introducing a new tax would be an anti-social measure, further attacking the purchasing power of the working classes, and not very effective. The solution is to require producers to lower the sugar content of their products. Prevention is also essential.
Le sucre est un problème de santé publique - dû largement à l'alimentation industrielle - et il faudrait en réduire la consommation. Mais introduire une nouvelle taxe serait une mesure antisociale, attaquant encore le pouvoir d'achat des classes populaires, et peu efficace. La solution est d'imposer aux producteurs de baisser la teneur en sucre de leur produit. La prévention est indispensable également.
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
The insurers would like us to pay them more and more expensive premiums every month, and never reimburse us for anything. No more of this! Health care must be accessible to all. Denial of healthcare for financial reasons is a dramatic reality in Switzerland, and a major public health problem.
Les assureurs voudraient qu'on leur paye des primes de plus en plus chères chaque mois, et ne jamais rien nous rembourser. Ça suffit! Les soins doivent être accessibles à toutes et tous. Le renoncement aux soins pour des raisons financière est une réalités dramatique en Suisse, et un problème majeur de santé publique.
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
People's health must come before economic freedom
La santé de la population doit passer avant la liberté économique
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
I'd be tempted to say "actually, it depends". In theory, why not? But if it's to close hospitals and further reduce access to care, no!
Je serais tenté de dire "en fait ça dépend". En théorie pourquoi pas. Mais si c'est pour fermer des hôpitaux et réduire encore l'accès aux soins, c'est non!
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
This is essential for the social integration of the children concerned, which is what a society that respects the equal and irreplaceable value of each and every individual (Switzerland today falls far short of this description) should do. But we need to provide the necessary resources
C'est essentiel pour l'intégration sociale des enfants concernés, ce qu'une société respectueuse de l'égale et irremplaçable valeur de chacune et chacun (la Suisse est aujourd'hui très loin de satisfaire à cette description) devrait faire. Mais il faut alors y mettre les moyens nécessaires
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 maturité gymnasiale are already particularly high in Switzerland. Raising them would only make the system more elitist, and favor children from the bourgeoisie even more.
les exigences pour la maturité gymnasiale sont d'ores et déjà particulièrement élevées en Suisse. Les élever ne ferait que rendre le système plus élitiste, et favoriserait encore plus les enfants issus de la bourgeoisie.
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
The current system, which claims to be egalitarian, in practice favors social reproduction. Additional measures are needed to correct these inequalities as far as possible.
Le système actuel, qui se veut égalitaire, favorise en pratique la reproduction sociale. Des mesures supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour corriger autant que possibles ces inégalités.
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
The conditions for naturalization have been unduly and unnecessarily tightened in recent years.
Les conditions de naturalisation ont été indûment et inutilement durcies ces dernières années.
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
Provided that workers' rights and working conditions are guaranteed.
A condition de garantir les droits et conditions de travail des travailleuses et travailleurs.
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 idea of certain European countries, such as the UK, which the SVP would like to see Switzerland adopt, is demagogic, despicable and contrary to international law. It makes our world look even more like a dystopia come true.
Cette idée de certains pays d'Europe, comme le Royaume Uni, et que l'UDC voudrait voir la Suisse reprendre, est démagogique, ignoble, et contraire au droit international. De quoi faire ressembler encore plus notre monde à une dystopie devenue réalité.
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
These people live here, work here, pay their taxes, contribute to society. They must have their say. That almost half of Geneva's resident population is deprived of political rights is a serious democratic problem. It's also a fundamental class issue: foreigners are over-represented in the working class, while the Swiss are over-represented in the bourgeoisie. Nor should this extension of political rights be limited to the communal level.
Ces personnes vivent ici, travaillent ici, payent leurs impôts, contribuent à la société. Elles doivent avoir leur mot à dire. Que près de la moitié de la population résidante à Genève soit privée de droits politiques est un grave problème démocratique. Une question de classe fondamentale aussi: les étrangers sont surreprésentés dans la classe ouvrière, les Suisses dans la bourgeoisie. Cette extension des droits politiques ne doit pas non plus se limiter au niveau communal.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Prohibition is hypocritical and doesn't work. Legalization would put an end to this situation, and drive organized crime out of the sector. But distribution must be controlled, by public structures, associated with prevention, from a public health perspective, reserved for people of legal age, and never left to the market.
La prohibition est hypocrite et ne fonctionne pas. La légalisation permettrait de mettre fin à cette situation, et évincerait le crime organisé de ce secteur. Mais la distribution doit se faire de façon contrôlée, par des structures publiques, associée à la prévention, dans une optique de santé publique, réservée aux personnes majeures; en aucun cas être laissée au marché.
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
But clear safeguards are needed to prevent abuse.

Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Eventually, it may be possible to dispense with gender registration in the civil register.
Il serait possible à terme de renoncer à l'inscription du genre dans le registre de l'état civil.
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
Today, equality should be self-evident. In practice, however, this is not yet the case.
L'égalité devrait aujourd'hui aller de soi. Ce n'est pas encore le cas en pratique.
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
Enough tax giveaways to the rich and big business! They have never concentrated so much wealth in their own hands.
Assez de cadeaux fiscaux aux plus riches et aux grandes entreprises! Ils n'ont jamais concentré autant de richesses entre leurs mains
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Inheritance is a means of concentrating ever more wealth in the hands of a minority, from generation to generation. At the very least, large inheritances should be taxed more heavily. But this concentration of wealth must come to an end in the future.
L'héritage est un moyen de concentrer toujours plus les richesses entres les mains d'une minorité, de génération en génération. Les gros héritages doivent a minima être plus taxés. Mais cette concentration des richesses doit à l'avenir prendre fin.
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
This is essential to correct the perverse effects of the OECD tax.

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
The minimum wage is social progress and an indispensable class struggle. The PST-POP is campaigning for a federal minimum wage of €4,500 per month, indexed to inflation.
Le salaire minimum est un progrès social et un combat de classe indispensable. Le PST-POP milite pour un salaire minimum fédéral de 4'500,- par mois, indexé à l'inflation
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
It is imperative that economic freedom be curtailed, especially in this sector. The Credit Suisse debacle is proof of this.
La liberté économique doit être impérativement réduite, surtout pour ce secteur. La débâcle de Crédit Suisse n'en atteste que trop.
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
On the contrary, we need to return to a fully regulated system, governed by public monopolies, to plan energy production for the common good. This is a necessary condition for a rapid ecological transition with social justice.
Au contraire, il faut revenir à un système entièrement régulé, régi par des monopoles publics, pour planifier la production énergétique en fonction du bien commun. C'est une condition nécessaire pour une transition écologique rapide dans la justice sociale.
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
Housing should not be built at the expense of quality of life, but through rational urban planning. To achieve this, we need to nationalize the sector, to free it from the interests of speculators, who run counter to the common good.
Ce n'est pas au détriment de la qualité de vie qu'il faut construire du logement, mais grâce à un urbanisme rationnel. Pour cela il faut nationaliser le secteur, pour le soustraire aux intérêts des spéculateurs, contraires au bien commun.
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 |

Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
All new road construction must be halted. Widening freeways in the midst of a climate emergency is a suicidal aberration.
Il faut arrêter toute nouvelle construction de routes. Elargir des autoroutes en pleine urgence climatique est une aberration suicidaire.
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
By 2030, even. Admittedly, this measure will not be easy for many people. But we also need to be aware that it falls short of what is needed to achieve a rapid and sufficient reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. We urgently need to move away from fossil fuels. Otherwise, in a few years' time, we'll have a situation so dramatic that it will make mobility problems seem like a pleasant joke.
En 2030 même. Certes, cette mesure ne sera pas facile pour beaucoup de gens. Mais il faut être conscient aussi qu'elle est en deçà de ce qu'il faudrait faire pour baisser rapidement et dans une proportions suffisante les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Il est urgent de sortir très rapidement des énergies fossiles. Autrement, nous aurons d'ici quelques années une situation tellement dramatique qu'elle fera passer les passer les problèmes de mobilité pour une aimable plaisanterie
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 don't work, and in practice allow almost nothing to change...until it's too late. On the contrary, strong coercive measures are needed to prevent a small elite at the head of big business from making the planet uninhabitable in the name of their immediate profits. Capitalism is necessarily ecocidal, and cannot fail to be so.
Les mesures incitatives ne fonctionnent pas et permettent en pratique de ne presque rien changer...jusqu'à ce qu'il soit trop tard. Des mesures coercitives fortes sont au contraires nécessaires pour empêcher une petite élite à la tête des grandes entreprises de rendre la planète inhabitable au nom de leurs profits immédiats. Le capitalisme est nécessairement écocides et ne peut pas ne pas l'être.
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?

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
Nuclear power remains a dangerous technology, and the problem of waste has not been resolved, not to mention the supply chain (disastrous conditions for uranium mining and dependence on just a few suppliers worldwide for nuclear fuel). What's more, the promoters of new nuclear power plants are well aware that this is politically unrealistic: it would take a minimum of 15 years to build a new plant, in the best-case scenario.
Le nucléaire reste une technologie dangereuse, le problème des déchets n'est pas résolu, sans parler des filières d'approvisionnement (conditions désastreuses pour l'extraction de l'uranium et dépendance à l'égard de quelques fournisseurs dans le monde seulement pour le combustible nucléaire). En outre, les promoteurs de nouvelles centrales nucléaires savent bien que c'est politiquement irréaliste: il faudrait au minimum 15 ans pour construire une nouvelle centrale, dans le meilleur des cas
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
By definition, public service must be universal.
Le service public se doit par définition d'être universel.
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
But we have to be careful that these progressive tariffs only affect the wasteful consumption of the wealthy classes, and don't further inflate the electricity bills of modest people. In return, it would be possible to offer free or lower rates for basic consumption.
Mais il faut faire attention à ce que ces tarifs progressifs ne touchent que le gaspillage des classes possédantes, et ne fassent pas gonfler encore la facture d'électricité des gens modestes. Il serait possible aussi en contrepartie de rendre gratuite ou baisser les tarifs pour une consommation de base.

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
The PST-POP campaigns for ecological and sustainable peasant farming. But beware of anti-farmer measures. The system of direct payments is extremely restrictive, and if many farms work as they do, it's because the state has forced them to do so through various constraints. Structural changes must be made with farmers, not against them, by giving them the means to achieve them.
Le PST-POP milite pour une agriculture paysanne écologique et durable. Mais attention aux mesures anti-paysans. Le sytème des payements directs est extrêmement contraignant, et si beaucoup d'exploitations agricoles travaillent comme elles le font, c'est bien parce que l'Etat les y a obligé par diverses contraintes. Des changements structurels doivent se faire avec les paysans, pas contre eux, en leur donnant les moyens d'y parvenir.
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)?

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
We need to get away from single-use plastics. The environment is already too polluted.
C'est une nécessité de sortir des plastiques à usage unique. L'environnement en est déjà trop pollué.
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
The current system is predatory, generating disgusting quantities of waste, and blind to the finiteness of natural resources. Programmed obsolescence is a criminal aberration engendered by capitalism. We urgently need to put an end to it.
Le système actuel est prédateur, générateur de déchets en quantités révoltantes, aveugle à la finitude des ressources naturelles. L'obsolescence programmée est une aberration criminelle engendrée par le capitalisme. Il est urgent d'y mettre fin.
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
Above all, 5G aims to multiply the number of connected objects, a monstrous waste of resources and energy that we can't afford. On the contrary, a certain digital sobriety is essential.
La 5G vise surtout à multiplier les objets connectés, gaspillage monstrueux de ressource et d'énergie qu'on ne peut pas se permettre. Une certaine sobriété numérique serait au contraire indispensable.
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
When you see what the Confederation is doing with it (cf. the scandal with the federal police and the data stolen as a result of its own negligence), it hardly inspires confidence.
Quant on voit ce que la Confédération en fait (cf. scandale avec la police fédérale et ces données volées suite à sa propre négligence) ça n'inspire guère confiance.
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
These large platforms currently have too much power. They should be public. In any case, they need to be better regulated, as they represent a real danger to democracy.
Ces grandes plateforme ont actuellement trop de pouvoir. Elles devraient être publiques. Il faut en tout cas plus les réguler, car elles représentent un vrai danger pour la démocratie.
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
A neoliberal initiative to dismantle a public service, and replace it with private trash or far-right propaganda channels. This does not prevent 1) RTS from falling far short of the criteria we would expect of a genuine public service, i.e. far from being a democratic TV/radio station; 2) it should be financed by progressive taxation, rather than by a licence fee that is too expensive for those of modest means.
Initiative néolibérale pour démanteler un service public, et le remplacer par des télés poubelles privées ou propagandistes d'extrême-droite. Ce qui n'empêche pas 1) que la RTS soit aujourd'hui très loin de satisfaire aux critères qu'on attendrait d'un véritable service public, soit très loin d'être une télé / radio démocratique ; 2) elle devrait être financée par l'impôt, qui est progressif, plutôt que par une redevance chère pour les gens modestes

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
NATO is an imperialist, warmongering bloc, under the thumb of the USA. We must cease all collaboration with this structure. The fight for peace and the freedom of peoples necessarily involves a fight against NATO.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Sophisticated approach: two questions in one. I'm opposed to a fortress Switzerland with closed borders. But this in no way implies approval of Fortress Europe, of Schengen and its centralized police database, of the Dublin agreement linked to it, of the criminal Frontex agency, of a murderous policy that is turning the Mediterranean into the world's biggest graveyard.
Procédé sophistique: deux questions en un. Je suis opposé à un Suisse-forteresse aux frontières fermées. Mais cela n'implique nullement une approbation de la forteresse-Europe, de Schengen et son fichier policier centralisé, à l'accord Dublin qui lui est lié, à la criminelle agence Frontex, à une politique meurtrière qui fait de la Méditerranée le plus grand cimetière du monde.
Foreign trade & foreign policy
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 EU is a fundamentally anti-democratic construction, an authoritarian technocracy whose aim is to impose "free and undistorted competition", neoliberalism and austerity on the people. Decoupling from the over-liberalized common market, with its demands for liberalization and privatization of everything that can be liberalized, and its logic of levelling social rights downwards, is a necessity if we are ever to be able to pursue a social and ecological policy in Switzerland.
L'UE est une construction fondamentalement anti-démocratique, une technocratie autoritaire dont le but est d'imposer la "concurrence libre et non faussée", le néolibéralisme et l'austérité aux peuples. Un découplage avec le marché commun libéralisé à outrance, ses exigences de libéralisation et de privatisation de tout ce qui peut l'être, sa logique de nivellement par le bas des droits sociaux, est une nécessité pour pouvoir conduire un jour une politique sociale et écologique en Suisse.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Again, two questions in one. The PST-POP is opposed to free-trade agreements and in favor of the principle of free movement (not the agreement that currently governs it). But the bilateral agreements as they stand are aimed at Switzerland's unilateral adoption of neo-liberal, anti-worker European law, which is incompatible with any policy other than neo-liberal.
De nouveau deux questions en un. Le PST-POP est opposé aux accords de libre-échange et favorable au principe de la libre circulation (pas à l'accord qui la régit actuellement). Mais les accords bilatéraux tels qu'ils existent visent à la reprise unilatérale par la Suisse d'un droit européen néolibéral et défavorable aux travailleuses et travailleurs, incompatible avec une politique autre que néolibérale.
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]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

We must not idealize official neutrality, nor forget the state lies and hypocrisy it has covered up and continues to cover up. But it's still better than the current alignment with the imperialist bloc that is NATO.
Il ne faut pas idéaliser la neutralité officielle, ni oublier les mensonges d'Etat et l'hypocrisie qu'elle a couvert et couvre encore. Mais c'est toujours mieux que l'alignement actuel sur le bloc impérialiste qu'est l'OTAN.

The free-market economy benefits a possessive minority to the detriment of the majority, and will no longer benefit anyone within a few decades, as it will have rendered the planet uninhabitable.
L'économie de libre marché profite à une minorité possédante au détriment du plus grand nombre, et ne profitera plus à personne d'ici quelques décennies, car elle aura rendu la planète inhabitable.

It's a stopgap measure, but for today's society, there shouldn't be such income differences to compensate for.

It's a mistake to want to digitize everything indiscriminately, without taking into account the social, ecological and cognitive consequences, and the very real risks... On the contrary, we need to adopt a certain digital sobriety, and not give in to a mode of so-called modernity, for the sole profit of digital multinationals and police states.
C'est une erreur de vouloir tout numériser à tort et à travers, sans se soucier des conséquences sociales, écologiques, cognitives, des risques bien réels...Il faudrait au contraire une certaine sobriété numérique, et non céder à un mode de prétendue modernité, pour le seul profit des multinationales du numérique et des Etats policiers.

It is economic growth, imposed by the accumulation of capital, that is destroying the environment. We have to get out of it

The Federal Police is above all a political police force whose vocation is to track down opponents of the system. The file scandal, like the political persecution of climate activists today, speaks volumes.

The PST-POP believes that it is unrealistic for Switzerland today to renounce an army, or else at the price of vassalization towards NATO. But current military spending is an unspeakable and unjustifiable waste.
Le PST-POP pense qu'il n'est pas réaliste aujourd'hui pour la Suisse de renoncer à une armée, ou alors au prix d'une vassalisation envers l'OTAN. Mais les dépenses militaires actuelles constituent un gaspillage innommable et injustifiable

The dismantling of pensions must stop. The alleged impossibility of maintaining AHV benefits is a self-serving lie from bourgeois circles. The PST-POP proposes the merger of the 1st and 2nd pillars, within the framework of a pay-as-you-go system, to finally put in place genuine popular pensions, guaranteeing a dignified life for all pensioners, with pensions of at least 4,000 per month indexed to inflation, and the lowering of the retirement age to 60.
Le démantèlement des retraites doit cesser. La prétendue impossibilité de maintenir les prestations de l'AVS est un mensonge intéressé des milieux bourgeois. Le PST-POP propose la fusion du Ier et du IIème pilier, dans le cadre d'un système par répartition, pour mettre en place enfin des véritables retraites populaires, garantissant une vie digne pour tous les retraité-e-s, avec des rentes de 4000,- par mois minimum indexés à l'inflation, et l'abaissement de l'âge de la retraite à 60 ans.
