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
State funding of insurance premiums is not a viable solution, as it does not prevent healthcare costs from rising. There are other ways of reducing these costs, such as investing heavily in natural prevention through healthy eating, stress reduction, physical activity, culture, etc. In the meantime, it is important to support low and middle-income earners in the face of this considerable expense.
Le financement des primes d'assurance par l’État n'est pas une solution viable vu qu'elle n'empêche pas l'augmentation des couts de la santé. Des voies sont à explorer pour réduire ces couts, par exemple un investissement fort dans la prévention naturelle par l'alimentation saine, la réduction du stress, l'activité physique, la culture... En attendant, il est important de soutenir les petits et moyens revenus face à une dépense considérable.
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
To be on an equal footing with cohabiting couples, but also to improve financial conditions for married couples, given that women's pensions are often low.
Pour être à égalité avec les couples concubins, mais aussi améliorer les conditions financières des couples mariés, sachant que la rente des femmes est souvent faible.
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
Not all retired people have comfortable incomes. Reducing pensions would make them even more vulnerable.
Les personnes à la retraite n'ont pas toutes des revenus confortables. Une réduction des rentes les vulnérabiliserait davantage cette population.
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
All parents should have more days off work to accompany, welcome and recover from childbirth, this last point being of prime importance for mothers whose bodies are called upon in the beautiful act of giving life. Society as a whole must contribute to financing this leave, since the children brought into the world are ultimately society's children. It needs them to renew itself. It is therefore responsible for them.
Tous les parents devraient avoir davantage de jours de congé pour accompagner, accueillir et se remettre d'une naissance, ce dernier point étant primordial pour les mères dont le corps est mis à contribution dans le bel acte de donner la vie. La société toute entière doit contribuer à financer ce congé puisque les enfants mis au monde sont les enfants de la société in fine. Elle en a besoin pour se renouveler. Elle en est donc responsable.
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
Absolutely. Housing is a fundamental right, and it is the duty of the State to ensure access to decent housing. The work of cooperatives, among others, in this area is particularly valuable. This work must be encouraged, supported, accompanied and enhanced.
Absolument. Le logement est un droit fondamental, et le devoir d'un État est d'assurer l'accès à un logement digne. Le travail des coopératives, entre autres, dans ce domaine est particulièrement appréciable. Ce travail doit être encouragé, soutenu, accompagné, valorisé.
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 has produced good results in the fight against pandemics. It is therefore an important tool, but not the only one. On the other hand, a society cannot resort to compulsory vaccination in the knowledge that this act entails risks for individuals. Other means of disease prevention need to be explored and developed, so that citizens can take back control of their health, in conjunction with their environment. It's the health of an entire ecosystem that we must aim for.
La vaccination a produit de bons résultats dans la lutte contre les pandémies. C'est donc un instrument important, mais pas le seul. Par ailleurs, une société ne saurait recourir à la vaccination obligatoire sachant que cet acte comporte des risques pour les personnes. D'autres moyens de prévention des maladies doivent être explorés, développés pour que les citoyen-nes se réapproprient leur santé, en lien avec leur environnement. C'est la santé de tout un écosystème qu'il faut viser.
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
Why not? A policy aimed at reducing sugar in the diet may initially involve taxes, but this cannot be the only way of combating unhealthy eating. Here too, the key word is reappropriation. Re-appropriating our food allows us to make informed decisions about the content of our meals, and not to depend on industrialized products over which we have no control.
Pourquoi pas. Une politique visant la réduction du sucre dans l'alimentation peut passer par des taxes dans un premier temps, mais cela ne peut constituer le seul moyen de lutter contre la mauvaise alimentation. Ici aussi le maitre-mot doit être réappropriation. Se réapproprier son alimentation permet de décider du contenu de nos plats en connaissance de cause, et de ne pas dépendre des produits industrialisés que nous ne maitrisons pas.
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
Access to healthcare must be guaranteed for everyone. Increasing the deductible would prevent some people from accessing healthcare.
L'accès aux soins doit être garanti pour toutes et tous. En augmentatnt la franchise, on empêcherait certaines personnes d'accéder aux soins
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
The Federal Council must work with the Federal Parliament, and in a transparent manner. Decisions made by our representatives, chosen in a democratic, participatory and inclusive way, are decisions I gladly accept to follow when they are made with the collective in mind. I gladly participate in the effort required of the community with this same concern.
Le Conseil fédéral doit travailler avec le Parlement fédéral, et de manière transparente. Les décisions émanant de nos représentant-es, choisi-es de manière démocratique, participative et inclusive, sont des décisions que j'accepte volontiers de suivre quand elles sont prises dans le souci du collectif. Je participe volontiers à l'effort demandé à la collectivité dans ce même souci.
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
We need a national health policy, which should not prevent cantonal management. The Confederation must play an important role in defining a national health policy and its means.
Nous avons besoin d'une politique de santé nationale, ce qui ne devrait pas empêcher des gestions cantonales. La Confédération doit tenir un rôle important dans la définition d'une politique nationale de la santé et ses moyens.
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
At school and in society as a whole, we need to learn to live together. That said, special measures must be taken to support people with special needs, in the interests of fairness.
A l'école comme dans la société nous devons apprendre à vivre ensemble. Cela dit, des mesures particulières doivent être prises pour accompagner les personnes ayant des besoins particuliers, par souci d'équité.
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
All right, if it also provides the means to meet these requirements.
D'accord, si elle met aussi les moyens à disposition permettant de répondre à ces exigences.
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
Equity makes equality possible.
L'équité rend l'égalité possible.
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
Everyone who wants to become Swiss should have easy access to naturalization, and everyone should be able to count on citizenship education.
Toutes les personnes qui souhaitent devenir suisses doivent pouvoir accéder facilement à la naturalisation, et tout le monde devrait compter sur une éducation à la citoyenneté.
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
Absolutely. Switzerland must treat all countries equally, and put an end to the hierarchy of origins that reinforces a division of the world into North-South categories, the West and the others, the rich and the poor, etc., with an ever-increasing preference for the dominant categories. A more balanced welcome enables better exchange with all parts of the world, which is beneficial overall.
Absolument. La Suisse doit traiter tous les pays de manière égale et en finir avec la hiérarchisation des provenances qui contribue à renforcer une division du monde en catégories Nord-Sud, l'Occident et les autres, les riches et les pauvres, etc., avec une préférence toujours marquée pour les catégories dominantes. Un accueil plus équilibré permet un meilleur échange avec toutes parties du monde, ce qui est globalement bénéfique.
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
It's here that we have the means to offer the best welcome, it's here that we must welcome. We welcome people to give them a new lease of life, on a new land, not to put them in centers. Switzerland also needs others to meet its own demographic challenges. We have better time to work on welcoming people than to relocate them.
C'est ici qu'il y a les moyens d'offrir le meilleur accueil, c'est ici qu'il faut accueillir. On accueille les personnes pour leur donner un nouvel élan de vie, sur une nouvelle terre, et non pour les mettre dans des centres. La Suisse a aussi besoin des autres pour répondre ses propres défis démographiques. On a meilleur temps de travailler à cet accueil plutôt que de le délocaliser.
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
But 10 years is too long. People often want to participate after a few years of local life. Foreigners must be encouraged to take part in political life as soon as they arrive, and supported in exercising their political citizenship as soon as they wish to do so.
Mais 10 ans c'est trop long. Bien souvent on a envie de participer après quelques années de vie locale. Les personnes étrangères doivent être encouragées à participer à la vie politique dès leur arrivée, et être accompagnées dans l'exercice de la citoyenneté politique dès qu'elles le souhaitent.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Inform, sensitize, empower rather than prohibit.
Informer, sensibiliser, responsabiliser plutôt qu'interdire.
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
Absolutely. It's a useful step for all those who don't fit into the two current gender categories, but also a step towards abandoning gender assignment.
Absolument. C'est un pas utile pour toutes les personnes qui ne se retrouvent pas dans les deux catégories de genre actuelles, mais également pour avancer vers un abandon de l'assignation au genre.
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
The Constitution stipulates equality. So how can we justify giving some people more rights than others?
La Constitution stipule l'égalité. Dès lors, comment justifier que certaines personnes aient plus de droits ?
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is important to establish a tax system that is perceived as fair and equitable by all citizens.
Il est important d'établir une imposition ressentie comme juste et équitable par toutes les citoyennes et tous les citoyens.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
However, the minimum wage is not a panacea. Income must be sufficient to live in dignity. Depending on the situation, 4,000 francs may still not be enough. Other measures should follow if necessary.
Le salaire minimum n'est pas la panacée pour autant. Les revenus doivent permettre de vivre dignement. Il se peut, selon les situations, que 4000 frs ne soient pas suffisants, malgré tout. D'autres mesures doivent suivre le cas échéant.
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
I'm more in favor of a transition to sustainability. The strict regulations shown here as an example will not suffice, as long as the profit system persists. What we need is sustainable finance that is environmentally, socially and economically responsible.
Je suis plutôt favorable à une transition vers la durabilité. Les règlementations strictes indiquées ici en exemple ne suffiront pas, tant que le système de profit perdure. Ce dont nous avons besoin c'est de finance durable, responsable sur les plans environnemental, social, économique.
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
To encourage the use of renewable energies, the choice of electricity supplier should be geared towards these energies.
Dans un souci d'encouragement des énergies renouvelables, le choix du fournisseur d'électricité doit être orienté vers ces énergies.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Clearly, the law is not enough to achieve equal pay. Monitoring can help, especially if it is followed by sanctions. However, equal pay is only one aspect of the commitment to equality. It should be deployed alongside other means of combating discrimination in an intersectional perspective, reinforced by the institution of quotas and the promotion of diversity, for as long as necessary, for a genuine policy of equity and equality.
La loi ne suffit clairement pas pour atteindre l'égalité salariale. Le contrôle peut aider, surtout s'il est suivi de sanction. Cependant, l'égalité salariale n'est qu'un aspect de l'engagement en faveur de l'égalité. Elle devrait se déployer avec d'autres moyens de lutte contre les discriminations dans une perspective intersectionnelle, renforcée de l'institution de quotas, de la promotion de la diversité, aussi longtemps que nécessaire, pour une véritable politique d'équité et d'égalité
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Instead, we need to offer relevant alternatives to people who think they need individual cars. This can be achieved by developing high-quality, accessible public transport. Soft mobility only makes sense if people can find everything they need close to home, which means developing cities on a human scale. We can also encourage access to telecommuting and part-time work, and above all slow down and reduce our lifestyle...
Il faut plutôt offrir des alternatives pertinentes aux personnes qui pensent avoir besoin de voitures individuelles. Cela peut se faire en développant des transports en commun de qualité et accessibles. La mobilité douce ne prend tout son sens que si les personnes trouvent tout ce dont elles ont besoin près de chez elles, ce qui implique de développer des villes à taille humaine. On peut aussi favoriser l'accès au télétravail, au temps partiel, et surtout ralentir, réduire le train de vie...
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's an ambitious goal that calls for swift action to develop renewable energies, reduce reliance on individual vehicles, develop public transport and promote low-pollution forms of mobility.
C'est un objectif ambitieux qui pousse à l'action rapide pour développer les énergies renouvelables, diminuer l'engouement pour les véhicules individuels, développer les transports en communs, favoriser les formes de mobilité peu polluantes.
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
As required. A combination of both approaches may be useful.
Selon les besoins. Une composition des deux approches peut s'avérer utile.
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
We must act according to real needs. Laws should serve society, not the other way around.
Il faut agir selon les besoins réels. Les lois sont au service de la société et non l'inverse.
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 disadvantages of nuclear power are still not under control. Instead, we need to invest in renewable energies, which are still underdeveloped.
Les inconvénients du nucléaire ne sont toujours pas maitrisés. Il faut plutôt investir dans les énergies renouvelables encore trop peu développées.
Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?

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
With the aim of reducing energy consumption, increasing tariffs can encourage lower electricity consumption.
Dans la visée d'une sobriété énergétique, la pratique de tarifs croissants peut inciter à la diminution de la consommation d'électricité.

Security measures taken by the state
What is your position the following statement: "Someone who is not guilty, has nothing to fear from state security measures."
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This declaration threatens citizens' freedom, fundamental rights and right to privacy, all in the name of security. In a democracy, this is unacceptable. The state is not neutral; it must itself be monitored in the way it uses the power entrusted to it.
Cette déclaration menace la liberté des citoyen-nes, leurs droits fondamentaux, le droit à la vie privée, tout cela au nom de la sécurité. Dans une démocratie, cela n'est pas acceptable. L'Etat n'est pas neutre, il doit lui-même être surveillé dans sa manière d'utiliser le pouvoir qui lui est confié.

The market doesn't know how to organize living together, redistribution and care for the environment. We need a collective political decision to define the kind of society we want to live in, and the role of the economy in it.

Comment
Children need their parents to be present, but they also need to take on roles other than those of parents. The participation of other family or community members is therefore essential, as is the provision of childcare facilities.
L'enfant a besoin de la présence de ses parents, mais ceux-ci ont aussi besoin d'investir d'autres rôles que celui de parents. Aussi la participation des autres membres de la famille ou de la communauté est nécessaire, autant que la mise à disposition de lieux d'accueil pour les enfants.

Punish criminals
What is your position the following statement: "Punishing criminals is more important than reintegrating them into society."
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
What about building a society that doesn't produce criminals? It's also said that every society only has the criminals it deserves. This means that it bears responsibility for the production of crime. On the other hand, other forms of justice are increasingly sought after, such as restorative justice, which is gaining in importance. Victims often want to be recognized for what they have experienced, and to be compensated. Punishment cannot provide this.
Quid de construire une société qui ne produise pas de criminel-le-s ? On dit aussi que toute société n'a que les criminel-le-s qu'elle mérite. Cela signifie qu'elle porte une responsabilité dans la production de la criminalité. Par ailleurs, d'autres formes de justice sont de plus en plus recherchées, comme la justice restauratrice qui prend de l'importance. Suvent les victimes souhaitent d'abord être reconnues dans ce qu'elles ont vécues, et réparation. La punition ne peut donner cela.
Stronger environmental protection
What is your position the following statement: "Stronger environmental protection is necessary, even if its application limits economic growth."
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Protecting the environment necessarily implies limiting economic growth, particularly in countries that have already developed good living conditions. The latter would need less growth in this area and more growth in other areas, such as transition. Developing countries, on the other hand, would still need to achieve a certain material affluence, for which growth is useful, but above all a just world economic order.
La protection de l'environnement implique nécessairement de limiter la croissance économique, particulièrement dans les pays ayant déjà développé de bonnes conditions de vie. Ces derniers auraient plutôt besoin de décroissance dans ce domaine et de croissance dans d'autres, en l'occurrence celui de la transition. Les pays en développement eux auraient encore besoin d'atteindre une certaine aisance matérielle pour laquelle la croissance est utile, mais surtout un ordre économique mondial juste.

Comment
The true wealth of a society is the well-being of its members, the health of individuals and the environment. Ensuring decent living conditions for all is the mission of a developed society. In Switzerland, many people are still living in precarious conditions. This is unacceptable.
La véritable richesse d'une société c'est le bien-être de ses membres, la santé des personnes et de l'environnement. Veiller à assurer des conditions de vie dignes pour tous et toutes est la mission d'une société développée. En Suisse beaucoup de personnes sont encore dans la précarité. Ce n'est pas acceptable.

Comment
With the ecological emergency looming, training is more than necessary to develop new professions that meet the needs of the transition. Skills are lacking in all areas of the transition. Substantial investment in training and research in this field is simply urgent, while ensuring that training is accessible to the entire population without discrimination.
Avec l'urgence écologique, la formation est plus que nécessaire pour développer de nouveaux métiers répondant aux besoins de la transition.

Comment
The choice for food sovereignty, but also access to healthy food, requires investment in agriculture, so that farmers and peasants can make the transition to an agriculture that respects living organisms. What's more, food is an important aspect of health, and access to healthy food helps reduce disease. To ensure this access, we need to invest upstream in the production of healthy food.
Le choix pour la souveraineté alimentaire, mais également l'accès à une alimentation saine, exige un investissement dans l'agriculture, afin que les agriculteurs et agricultrices, paysannes et paysans puissent opérer la transition vers une agriculture respectueuse du vivant. De plus, l'alimentation est un aspect important de la santé, l'accès à une alimentation saine contribue à la réduction des maladies.

Given the contribution of transport to pollution in Switzerland, investment in public transport is essential if we are to achieve the carbon neutrality we so desire.

Just what's needed to maintain the existing network while transforming part of the roads into green spaces for the population.
Juste ce qu'il faut pour entretenir le réseau existant tout en transformant une partie des routes en espaces verts rendus à la population.

We need to redefine public safety and invest in the means to preserve it. A society that develops gender justice, social justice and environmental justice thus ensures a good part of its public safety. Yes, if the investment is aimed at developing the living conditions that generate security, the living together that creates security. No, if the aim is to reinforce the police, prisons, etc., without changing the social contract.
Il faudrait redéfinir la sécurité publique pour investir dans les moyens de la préserver. Une société qui développe la justice de genre, la justice sociale, la justice environnementale assure ainsi une bonne partie de sa sécurité publique. Oui, si l'investissement vise à développer les conditions de vie qui génèrent la sécurité, le vivre ensemble qui crée la sécurité. Non, s'il s'agit de renforcer la police, les prisons, etc., sans rien changer au contrat social.

Not as it is practiced today. Given the urgency of climate change, development cooperation needs to be redefined in terms of global justice. The best way for Switzerland to participate in this process is through - its consumption of the world's resources, which must become responsible - its participation in international bodies where it can support a just economic order, responsible multinationals, environmental justice and peace diplomacy.
Telle qu'elle se pratique aujourd'hui, non. Vu l'urgence climatique, il convient de redéfinir la coopération au développement en termes de justice globale. La meilleure participation pour la Suisse se joue alors aux niveaux - de sa consommation des ressources du monde qui doit devenir responsable - de sa participation dans les instances internationales où elle peut soutenir un ordre économique juste, des multinationales responsables, la justice environnementale, la diplomatie de la paix.

Workers are not on an equal footing when it comes to current working conditions. In some professions, retiring at 65 is already very difficult, but 2 years more is simply inhuman. In a system of general reduction of working hours and employment for all, it's possible to extend the retirement age, but we're not there yet.
Les travailleuses et travailleurs ne sont pas à égalité face aux conditions de travail actuelles. Dans certaines professions, aller à la retraite à 65 ans c'est déjà très difficile, 2 ans de plus c'est simplement inhumain. Dans un système de réduction générale du temps de travail et d'emploi pour toutes et tous, il est possible de prolonger l'âge de la retraite, mais nous n'y sommes pas.
