Welfare state & family

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Extend parental leave
Should paid parental leave be increased beyond today's 14 weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of paternity leave? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Further encourage the construction of social housing
Should the federal government provide more financial support for public housing construction? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The basic recommendations of the Swiss vaccination plan should be made compulsory, as they are essential to individual and public health. The basic vaccination plan has been drawn up according to a rigorous analytical framework and in agreement with numerous specialists.
Les recommandations de bases du plan de vaccination suisse devraient devenir obligatoires car elles sont indispensables à la santé individuelle et publique. Le plan de vaccination de base est rédigé selon un cadre analytique rigoureux et en accord avec de nombreux.ses spécialistes.
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
Imposing a tax on sugary products may seem like a measure to reduce excessive sugar consumption and promote healthier eating. However, this proposal would harm the most vulnerable by increasing the cost of living. It would be wiser to focus the proposal on prevention, emphasizing nutritional education and facilitating access to healthier alternatives.
Imposer une taxe sur les produits sucrés peut sembler être une mesure visant à réduire la consommation excessive de sucre et à promouvoir une alimentation plus saine. Cependant, cette proposition nuirait aux personnes les plus précaires en augmentant le coût de la vie. Il serait plus judicieux d'axer la propositions sur la prévention en mettant l'accent sur l'éducation nutritionnelle et en facilitant l'accès à des alternatives plus saines.
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
According to the FOPH, in 2020, 28% of the Swiss population will be in receipt of a health insurance subsidy. It would therefore be inadvisable to increase healthcare costs, as this would worsen the already precarious financial situation of a large proportion of the population.
Selon l'OFSP, en 2020, 28% de la population suisse était au bénéfice d'un subside d'assurance maladie. Il serait donc déconseillé d'augmenter les coûts de la santé, étant donné que cela aggraverait la situation financière déjà précaire d'une grande partie de la population.
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 a health crisis, it's crucial to have the flexibility to take swift, appropriate action to protect public health. Restricting the government's powers too much could hamper its ability to act effectively and jeopardize public safety. However, it is essential to maintain a balance between security measures and individual rights.
En situation de crise sanitaire, il est crucial de disposer d'une flexibilité pour prendre des mesures rapides et adaptées afin de protéger la santé publique. En restreignant trop les pouvoirs du gouvernement, cela pourrait entraver sa capacité à agir efficacement et mettre en danger la sécurité de la population. Toutefois, il est essentiel de maintenir un équilibre entre les mesures de sécurité et les droits individuels.
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
Excessive centralization would lead to red tape and delays, both of which are important when it comes to healthcare. National hospital planning would make local medicine less human. However, I believe it is essential to promote a collaborative approach between cantons for individual cases.
La centralisation excessive entraînerait des lourdeurs administratives et des délais, deux critères non négligeables lorsqu'il s'agit de santé. Une planification hospitalière nationale ferait perdre son humanité à la médecine de proximité. Il me paraît cependant essentiel de promouvoir une approche collaborative entre les cantons pour les cas particuliers.
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 would enable better inclusion of children with difficulties by promoting diversity and offering better learning opportunities. It therefore seems to me to be a good idea to propose an integrative school when the individual profile of the child in difficulty is compatible with it.
Cela permettrait une meilleur inclusion des enfants en difficultés en favorisant la diversité et en proposant des meilleures opportunités d'apprentissage. Il me semble donc être une bonne idée de proposer une école intégrative lorsque le profil individuel de l'enfant en difficulté est compatible avec.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Equal opportunities in education
Should the state be more committed to equal educational opportunities (e.g., through subsidized remedial courses for students from low-income families)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Immigration & integration
Make naturalization requirements more flexible
Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| 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
Yes, but this must go hand in hand with the development of accompanying measures to prevent employers from using the increase in the quota to exert pressure on wages and working conditions.
Oui, mais cela doit aller de pair avec un développement des mesures d'accompagnement afin d'éviter que le patronat n'instrumentalise l'augmentation du contingent pour exercer une pression sur les salaires et les conditions de travail.
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
Or even after a year. After all, people work here, pay taxes here and are part of a social environment. The impossibility of voting on the organization of communal life here is therefore profoundly unfair.
Ou même après un an. Après tout, les gens travaillent ici, paient des impôts ici et font partie d'un environnement social. L'impossibilité de voter sur l'organisation de la vie en commun ici est donc profondément injuste.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
This is a good transitional measure, reflecting a reality experienced by many people in Switzerland who are currently invisible because of gender binarity. Ultimately, however, the aim must be to abolish the mention of gender in civil status records.
Cela constitue une bonne mesure transitoire, servant à refléter une réalité vécue par de nombreuses personnes en Suisse et invisibilisées aujourd'hui par la binarité des genres. À terme, l'objectif doit cependant être l'abolition de la mention de genre à 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
whatever their sexuality, they are couples
peu importe leur sexualité, ce sont des couples
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
Direct federal taxation is one of the most solidarity-based taxes. The rich and corporations pay more because of the progressive tax scales. Reducing direct federal taxation would only make the rich richer and weaken public services. An increase in capital tax at cantonal and communal level could bring relief to the population and employees.
L'impôt fédéral direct est l'un des impôts les plus solidaires. Les riches et les entreprises paient plus en raison des barèmes progressifs. Une réduction de l'impôt fédéral direct ne ferait qu'enrichir davantage les riches et affaiblir le service public. Une augmentation de l'impôt sur le capital au niveau cantonal et communal pourrait soulager la population et les salarié·es.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
It's not building regulations but land ownership that's responsible for high rents and housing shortages, and that's where the real problem lies. On the other hand, we need to ensure that existing housing is affordable, and that new housing isn't simply built all the time.
Ce ne sont pas les règles de construction mais la propriété foncière qui est responsable des loyers élevés et de la pénurie de logement, et c'est là qu'est le véritable problème. Par ailleurs, il faut veiller à ce que les logements existants soient abordables et à ce que l'on n'en construise pas simplement toujours de nouveaux.

Il serait plus judicieux de développer les transports en commun et les autres alternatives à la voiture.

Achieve climate targets through incentives
To achieve climate targets, should incentives and target agreements be relied on exclusively, rather than bans and restrictions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The climate emergency is real, and we need a strong regulatory policy in this area.
L'urgence climatique est réelle, il nous faut une politique forte en matière de réglementation à ce sujet.
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?

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Current protective measures include culling when the number is too great. This is sufficient.
Les dispositions de protections actuelles incluent l'abattage lorsque le nombre est trop grand. C'est suffisant.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
direct payments should be granted in increasing proportion to the degree of ecological performance.
les paiements directs devraient être octroyés de manière croissante en fonctions du degré de prestation écologique

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
More sustainable use of electronic devices
Are you in favour of government measures to make the use of electronic devices more sustainable (e.g., right to repair, extension of warranty period, minimum guaranteed period for software updates)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

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
Only for the most disadvantaged, as the TV licence fee is still used to finance public broadcasting.
Uniquement pour les plus précaires, la redevance TV servant tout de même à financer l'audiovisuel public.

In theory, yes, but in practice we realize that in a heterosexual couple, it's all too often the woman who occupies this position, which serves to reinforce patriarchy.

If by safety we mean the police, the answer is "significantly reduce", because the police are notably very repressive, but if by public safety we mean, for example, that preventive measures are taken against sexual violence, then we would have to invest much more.
Si par sécurité on entend la police, la réponse est "diminuer nettement", car la police est notamment très répressive, mais si par sécurité publique on entend par exemple que des mesures préventives soient prises contre les violences sexuelles, alors il faudrait investir beaucoup plus.

We need higher pensions for everyone, and compensation for inflation. It's a good idea to cap the maximum pension (this is already being done), but marital status must not affect the amount of the pension.
Il faut des rentes plus élevées pour toutes et tous, et une compensation du renchérissement. C’est une bonne idée de plafonner la rente maximale (ça se fait d’ailleurs déjà), mais l’état civil ne doit pas impacter le montant de la rente.
