Diese Ausgaben müssen nachhaltig sein, z.b. Investitionen in staatliche Gesundheitssysteme von anderen Staaten und nicht in private Projekte investiert werden. Hier geht es auch darum Reparationen zu zahlen, um Schäden die die Schweiz im Zuge von fremdenfeindlicher Politik in der Vergangenheit angerichtet hat zu beheben.
