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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
All AHV pensions, not just those of married couples, must be increased. This is the only way to fulfill the Federal Constitution's mandate to guarantee everyone a decent standard of living in retirement. This is why I support the popular initiative for a 13th AHV pension.
Toutes les rentes AVS, et pas seulement des couples mariés, doivent être augmentées. C'est la seule manière de réaliser le mandat de la Constitution fédérale visant à garantir à tou-te-s un niveau de vie décent à la retraite. C'est pourquoi je soutiens l'initiative populaire pour une 13e rente AVS.
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
Pension fund annuities are already too low, especially for women, part-time workers and people on modest incomes. I therefore oppose the BVG reform and support the referendum.
Les rentes des caisses de pension, en particulier celles des femmes, des personnes travaillant à temps partiel et au revenu modeste, sont déjà trop basses aujourd'hui. Je m'oppose donc à la réforme de la LPP et soutiens le référendum.
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
The GREENS are calling for equal paid parental leave of at least 18 weeks each and want to introduce three weeks' prenatal maternity leave.
Les VERTS demandent un congé parental payé paritaire d'au moins 18 semaines chacun-e et veulent instaurer un congé maternité prénatal de trois semaines.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
There are many ways of reducing the sugar content of industrial foods and beverages. It would make sense to set limit values imposed on manufacturers. Consumers wouldn't notice, but the impact on health would be significant.
On peut réduire la teneur en sucre des boissons et aliments industriels de différentes manières. Il serait judicieux de fixer des valeurs limites imposées aux fabricants. Le consommateur et la consommatrice ne le verraient pas, mais l'impact sur la santé serait important.
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
Compared to the rest of Europe, the Swiss population already contributes significantly to costs.
En comparaison européenne, la population suisse participe déjà fortement aux coûts.
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
We need to strike a balance between economic restrictions and health protection, ensuring that economic interests are not placed above those of health. Parliament and the public must be more closely involved, and fundamental rights must be better protected by law.
Il faut trouver un équilibre entre restrictions économiques et protection de la santé, en veillant que les intérêts de l'économie ne soient pas placés au-dessus de ceux de la santé. Il s’agit d’impliquer davantage le Parlement et la population et de mieux protéger juridiquement les droits fondamentaux.
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
Hospital planning requires a more inter-cantonal and national perspective, or compulsory collaboration, without making the Confederation solely responsible in this area.
La planification hospitalière requiert une perspective davantage intercantonale et nationale ou une collaboration obligatoire, sans rendre la Confédération seule compétente en la matière.
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
However, we need to provide the necessary resources to ensure that all students benefit positively from this integration. Schools can only become inclusive if they have sufficient resources (teaching and socio-educational staff).
Mais attention, il faut y mettre les moyens nécessaires pour que toutes et tous les élèves bénéficient de cette intégration de manière positive. L'école ne peut devenir intégrative qu'avec des ressources suffisantes (personnel enseignant et socio-pédagogique).
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 Gymnasium Matura is to be adapted to cross-cutting themes, such as education for sustainable development, political education, digitalization and preparation for scientific thought and work, in line with the revision of the relevant regulations. In particular, the aim is to harmonize admission requirements, timing and duration, the only way to make Matura certificates comparable between cantons and avoid inequities.
Il convient d’adapter la maturité gymnasiale aux thèmes transversaux, tels que l'éducation au développement durable ou à la politique, la numérisation ainsi que la préparation à la réflexion et au travail scientifiques, conformément à la révision du règlement dédié. Il s’agit en particulier d’harmoniser les conditions d'admission, le moment du passage et la durée, seule manière de rendre les certificats de maturité comparables entre les cantons et d'éviter des injustices.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
We need to promote the means that enable successful integration, for the benefit of all. Political involvement and voting are civic acts that must be encouraged and valued.
Il faut favoriser les moyens qui permettent une intégration réussie, au bénéfice des toutes et tous. S'engager politiquement et voter sont des actes civiques qui doivent être encouragés et valorisés.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Sales and consumption must be strictly controlled; it is preferable to have controls to guarantee public health and protect minors.
La vente et la consommation doivent être strictement encadrées; il est préférable d'avoir un contrôle pour assurer des garanties de santé publique et protéger les mineurs.
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
Under very strict conditions, based on a supervised professional practice in which the patient's wishes are central.
A des conditions très strictes, autour d'une pratique professionnelle encadrée où la volonté du patient / de la patiente est au centre.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
I support the popular initiative for the introduction of individual taxation.
Je soutiens l'initiative populaire pour l'introduction de l'imposition individuelle.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The richest cantons are the ones that benefit most from the latest corporate tax decisions. This is why they need to contribute more to financial equalization, to prevent the gap between cantonal financial capacities from widening even further.
Les cantons les plus riches sont ceux qui profitent le plus des dernières décisions en matière d'imposition des entreprises. C'est pourquoi ils doivent contribuer davantage à la péréquation financière afin d'éviter que l’écart entre les capacités financières cantonales ne se creuse encore plus.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Guidelines are also needed to ensure that the financial sector invests in climate protection instead of the fossil fuel industry.
Il faut en outre des directives pour que le secteur financier investisse dans la protection du climat au lieu de l'industrie fossile.
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
No to total liberalization of the electricity market as it stands. First and foremost, we need to complete the energy turnaround, which means phasing out nuclear power with clear deadlines for old nuclear power plants, and introducing true costs (including climate costs) for electricity prices. Otherwise, dirty electricity is likely to enjoy a huge market advantage.
Non à la libéralisation totale du marché de l'électricité en l'état. Il y a lieu d'abord de réaliser le tournant énergétique et donc de sortir du nucléaire avec des délais clairs pour les anciennes centrales nucléaires et d’instaurer la vérité des coûts (y compris climatiques) pour les prix de l'électricité. Faute de quoi l'électricité sale risque de bénéficier d'un énorme avantage sur le marché.
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
The aim is not to relax protection rules, but to authorize higher coefficients of use in the case of highly ecological construction, for example climate-neutral and particularly respectful of resources (circular construction).
Il s’agit de ne pas assouplir les règles de protection et d’autoriser des coefficients d'utilisation plus élevés en cas de construction très écologique, par exemple climatiquement neutre et particulièrement respectueuse des ressources (construction circulaire).
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 |

Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Thermal vehicles must be phased out more quickly. The year 2035 corresponds to EU regulations.
Il faut cesser plus rapidement d’autoriser les véhicules thermiques. L'année 2035 correspond à la réglementation de l'UE.
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
We need a mix of effective, socially responsible, efficient and accepted measures. It's not "either/or", but "either/or".
Il faut un mélange de mesures efficaces, socialement responsables, efficientes et acceptées. Ce n'est pas "ou bien ou bien", mais "aussi bien l'une que l'autre".
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 need to simplify procedures without undermining protection, given the massive loss of biodiversity.
Il est nécessaire de simplifier les procédures sans porter atteinte à la protection en raison du recul massif de la biodiversité.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Large predators are an essential link in the balance of biodiversity.
Les grands prédateurs sont un maillon essentiel dans l'équilibre de la biodiversité.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
According to scientific recommendations, this share should even be 40%.
Selon les recommandations scientifiques en la matière, cette part devrait même être de 40%.
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
Above all, it's important to reduce disposable packaging and replace it with reusable alternatives.
Il est surtout important de réduire les emballages jetables et de les remplacer par des moyens réutilisables.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
VERT-E-S want to invest in expanding the fiber-optic network to make data transport efficient and low-radiation. The expansion of the cell phone network must be well thought-out and not rushed: strategic planning reduces exposure to radiation, in line with the precautionary principle. Internet access must be fast, regardless of where you are in Switzerland.
Les VERT-E-S veulent investir pour développer le réseau de fibres optiques afin de rendre le transport des données efficace et à faible rayonnement. Il s’agit d’étendre le réseau de téléphonie mobile de manière réfléchie sans précipitation : une planification stratégique réduit l’exposition aux rayonnements, conformément au principe de précaution. L'accès à Internet doit être rapide, indépendamment de l'endroit où l'on se trouve en Suisse.
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
Binding guidelines and standards ensure improved cyber security and system interoperability.
Des directives et des normes contraignantes garantissent une meilleure cybersécurité et l'interopérabilité des systèmes.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Strong, independent media are essential to a healthy democracy.

Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending
Should it be possible to hold a referendum on federal spending above a certain amount (optional financial referendum)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Parliament has final responsibility for the budgetary process, and must assume it. The same applies to any supplementary credits required during the course of the year. The instrument of the debt brake means that the Confederation must always keep its spending within a narrow framework. A referendum would block the execution of tasks for months - even for multi-year financial commitments.
Le Parlement a la responsabilité finale du processus budgétaire et doit l'assumer. Il en va de même pour les crédits supplémentaires qui s'avèrent nécessaires en cours d'année. L'instrument du frein à l'endettement a pour effet que la Confédération doit toujours maintenir ses dépenses dans un cadre étroit. Un référendum bloquerait l'exécution des tâches pendant des mois - même pour des engagements financiers pluriannuels.
Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers
Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Cooperation with NATO is a delicate matter, as it would potentially call into question Switzerland's military neutrality. However, it cannot be ruled out that such cooperation would be necessary in the event of an attack on European territory. In such a case, Switzerland would have to coordinate its action with NATO.
Une coopération avec l'OTAN est délicate, car elle remettrait potentiellement en question la neutralité militaire suisse. Il n'est cependant pas exclu qu'une telle coopération s'impose dans l'hypothèse où le territoire européen venait à être attaqué. Cas échéant, il apparait que la Suisse devrait coordonner son action avec l'OTAN.
Re-export of Swiss weapons
Should the Federal Council be allowed to authorize other states to re-export Swiss weapons in cases of a war of aggression in violation of international law (e.g., the attack on Ukraine)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A large majority at the Delegates' Meeting on 28.1.23 voted against the re-export of Swiss weapons to third countries. The law on weapons of war prohibits such re-exports. The VERT-E-S had campaigned for a tightening of the law.
Une large majorité de l'assemblée des délégué-e-s du 28.1.23 s'est prononcée contre la réexportation d'armes suisses vers des pays tiers. La loi sur les armes de guerre interdit une telle réexportation. Les VERT-E-S s'étaient engagé-e-s en faveur d'un durcissement de la loi.

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
However, the GREENS are highly critical of various aspects of the Schengen/Dublin agreements, notably the arming of the EU's external borders to combat refugees.
Les VERT-E-S se montrent toutefois très critiques à l'égard de différents aspects des accords de Schengen/Dublin, notamment l'armement aux frontières extérieures de l'UE pour lutter contre les réfugié-e-s.
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?

Notamment pour ce qui concerne la protection de l'environnement, les transports, les collaborations universitaires et scientifiques.
Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Swiss neutrality is military, but not political: Switzerland must take a stand in favor of international law and sanctions in the event of violation.
La neutralité suisse est militaire, mais pas politique : la Suisse doit prendre position en faveur du droit international ainsi que des sanctions en cas de violation.

Criminal law punishes. Then, solutions must be found to reintegrate these people where possible. Reintegration is an opportunity not only for the person concerned, but also for his or her family and society in general. Remaining in prison is very costly, and brings no added value when the person concerned no longer represents a risk to society.
Le droit pénal punit. Puis, il faut trouver des solutions pour réintégrer ces personnes lorsque c'est possible.

The question is framed too broadly. The GREENS are opposed to the development of a police state, but not to an increase in the number of police officers, for example. The answer also depends on what is meant by "public safety" (is domestic violence included?).
La question est formulée de manière trop générale. Les VERT-E-S s'opposent au développement d'un État policier, mais pas à une augmentation des effectifs, par exemple. La réponse est également liée à ce que l’on entend par "sécurité publique” (la violence domestique en fait-elle partie?)
