Comment
The issue of minimum deductible arises particularly for those who receive large subsidies and thus risk deresponsibility in the consumption of health care benefits

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

More value should be placed on vocational training, dispelling the myth of higher studies for everyone. Today, moreover, there are numerous passerelle training
Occorre valorizzare di più la formazione professionale, sfatando il mito degli studi superiori per tutti. Oggi esistono, oltretutto, numerose formazioni passerella

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
It is necessary to counter the erosion of people's income, including with tax cuts. The excessive tax burden disincentivizes work and pushes the upper-middle class into part-time employment. With the result of decreasing revenue
E' necessario contrastare l'erosione del reddito dei cittadini, anche con sgravi fiscali. L'eccessiva pressione fiscale disincentiva il lavoro e spinge il ceto medio-alto verso l'occupazione a tempo parziale. Col risultato di far diminuire il gettito

Strengthen financial equalization between the cantons
Should the differences between cantons with high and low financial capacity be further reduced through fiscal equalization?

Comment
Current financial equalization involves limitations, Ticino is unduly penalized
L'attuale perequazione finanziaria comporta dei limiti, il Ticino risulta penalizzato indebitamente
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
Minimum wage pushes wages down. It may make sense if accompanied by the end of free movement of people. Otherwise it turns, at least in Ticino, into a gift to border crossers
Il salario minimo spinge le paghe al ribasso. Può avere un senso se accompagnato alla fine della libera circolazione delle persone. Altrimenti si trasforma, almeno in Ticino, in un regalo ai frontalieri
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
The financial center as such should be revitalized and not further crippled with new regulations. Another issue is bonuses to executives
La piazza finanziaria in quanto tale va rilanciata e non ulteriormente azzoppata con nuove norme. Altra questione sono i bonus ai dirigenti
Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità
Should private households be free to choose their electricity supplier (complete liberalization of the electricity market)?

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
A more realistic and reasonable climate policy is needed. The goal of "zero CO2 emissions in 2050" will not be achieved by any country. Switzerland produces less than one percent of global CO2. The ideological green turn is being paid for, at great cost, by citizens
Occorre una politica climatica più realistica e ragionevole. L'obiettivo "zero emissioni di CO2 nel 2050" non lo raggiungerà nessun paese. La Svizzera produce meno dell'uno per mille della CO2 globale. La svolta verde ideologica la pagano, a caro prezzo, i cittadini

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
I also submitted a parliamentary act to that effect. Nuclear power is part of the decarbonization strategy, the EU has also determined this. Solar, wind and hydro will never be able to provide Switzerland with the electricity it needs.
Ho presentato anche un atto parlamentare in tal senso. Il nucleare rientra nella strategia di decarbonizzazione, lo ha stabilito anche l'UE. Solare, eolico ed idroelettrico non saranno mai in grado di fornire alla Svizzera l'elettricità di cui necessita.

Ovviamente nel segno della proporzionalità.
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
This would result in the relocation of economic activities, and thus the loss of jobs in Switzerland
Ne conseguirebbe la delocalizzazione di attività economiche, e quindi la perdita di posti di lavoro in Svizzera
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
The exponentially multiplying wolf is incompatible with mountain agriculture. The excessive protection it currently enjoys is no longer justifiable
Il lupo, che si moltiplica in modo esponenziale, è incompatibile con l'agricoltura di montagna. La protezione eccessiva di cui gode attualmente non è più giustificabile
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland already has large areas of biodiversity; one-third of its territory consists of forests. In Ticino, more than half. If we add lakes, streams, riverbeds, cliffs, alpine meadows, etc., we come to 80 percent of our canton's territory. There are more than enough spaces for biodiversity
La Svizzera ha già ampie superfici di biodiversità, un terzo del suo territorio è composto da boschi. In Ticino più della metà. Se sommiamo laghi, corsi d’acqua, greti dei fiumi, pareti rocciose, praterie alpine, eccetera, arriviamo all’80% del territorio del nostro Cantone. Di spazi per la biodiversità ce ne sono più che a sufficienza

Questi risultati vanno raggiunti senza misure statali ossia senza generare ulteriore burocrazia

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?

La Confederazione ha già fin troppe competenze e poteri, a danno del federalismo
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)?

Queste regole si traducono poi in censura delle opinioni non allineate al mainstream
