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
But above all, the state must ensure that healthcare consumption is reduced. It's one thing to allow everyone to pay their premiums, but it's far more effective and sustainable to reduce them. To do this, we need to invest more in prevention and information, and distance ourselves from the lobbies in the healthcare sector (Pharma, insurance in particular).
Mais l'Etat doit surtout faire en sorte que la consommation de soins diminue. Permettre à chacun de payer ses primes est une chose, mais faire en sorte de diminuer les primes en est une autre bien plus efficace et durable. Pour se faire, il faudrait mettre davantage de moyens dans la prévention et l'information et se distancier des lobbys du domaine de la santé (Pharma, assurance notamment).
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
This ceiling creates inequality of treatment between married and unmarried couples.
Ce plafond engendre une inégalité de traitement entre les couples mariés et les couples non mariés.
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
The conversion rate is set according to the life expectancy of pensioners, and the technical rate is linked to the expected financial return on pension fund investments. There is therefore a certain logic in lowering the conversion rate. However, to ensure that pensions do not fall, it is essential to provide for adjustments, which the bill does not do, despite the promises made during the vote on raising the retirement age for women!
Le taux de conversion est fixé selon l'espérance de vie des rentiers et le taux technique en lien avec le rendement financier attendu des investissements pratiqués par les caisses de pension. Il y a donc une certaine logique à ce que le taux de conversion baisse. Cependant, afin que les rentes ne baissent pas, il est essentiel de prévoir des adaptations, ce que le projet de loi ne fait pas malgré les promesses faites lors de la votation sur l'augmentation de l'âge de la retraite des femmes!
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
I think that flexibility according to the needs of the family should be proposed, with free allocation between parents.
Je pense qu'une flexibilité selon les besoins de la famille devrait être proposée, avec une répartition libre entre parents.
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
They currently represent only 5% of the housing market. This type of housing (cooperative) puts quality of life and sustainability at the heart of its considerations, promoting health and social cohesion. They also promote access to quality housing and help stabilize the market. The way cooperatives operate also enables the development of social and civic skills of interest to society as a whole.
Ils ne représentent actuellement que 5% du marché du logement. Ce type de logement (coopérative) met au centre des réflexions la qualité de vie et la durabilité favorisant la santé et le lien social. Ils favorisent également l'accès à un logement de qualité et participent à la stabilisation du marché. Le fonctionnement des coopératives permet également le développement de compétences sociales et civiques intéressantes pour l'ensemble de la société.
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
I don't see any valid reason to change the current rules.
Je ne vois pas, aujourd'hui, de justes motifs pour modifier les règles actuelles.
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
In Switzerland, excessive sugar consumption is a real public health problem, adversely affecting health and quality of life (obesity, diabetes, tooth decay, cardiovascular disease), and leading to additional costs associated with the care associated with this over-consumption of sugar. Several countries have introduced this type of tax, but the Swiss parliament is currently rejecting it... Health must come before the profits of agri-food multinationals.
En Suisse, la consommation excessive de sucre est un véritable problème de santé publique qui péjore la santé et la qualité de vie (obésité, diabète, carie, maladie cardiovasculaire) et qui occasionne des surcoûts en lien avec les soins associés à cette surconsommation de sucre. Plusieurs pays ont introduit ce type de taxe mais actuellement le Parlement suisse la refuse... La santé doit passer avant le profit des multinationales agro-alimentaires.
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
A Band-Aid on a wooden leg. To solve the problem of rising premiums, we need to reduce healthcare costs, and the first lever is to reduce healthcare consumption, as well as implementing the roadmap "For sustainable Swiss healthcare systems within planetary limits". Increasing deductibles is an additional risk of precariousness, as there are already too many people refusing care for economic reasons!
Pansement sur une jambe de bois. Pour résoudre l'augmentation des primes, il faut réduire les coûts de la santé et le premier levier est la baisse de la consommation des soins mais aussi la mise en place de feuilles de route "Pour des systèmes de santé Suisse durables dans les limites planétaires". L'augmentation des franchises est un risque de précarité supplémentaire, il y a déjà trop de personnes qui renoncent à des soins pour des raisons économiques!
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 is best placed to take the most objective view possible of the issues involved in a pandemic.
Le Conseil Fédéral est le mieux placé pour avoir une vue d'ensemble la plus objective possible des enjeux traversés lors d'une pandémie.
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
This planning is worth questioning, as it would undoubtedly reduce healthcare costs (by avoiding duplication, spreading out over the territory, and reducing the need for heavy technical equipment, which encourages over-prescription of tests). On the other hand, it would undoubtedly result in a loss of proximity. There is also a risk of inequality of healthcare provision between cantons.
Cette planification mérite d'être questionnée, elle permettrait sans doute de diminuer les coûts de la santé (éviter les doublons, répartition sur le territoire, diminution des équipements techniques lourds qui incitent à la prescription abusive d'examen). A contrario, elle aurait sans doute comme conséquence une perte de proximité. Il y a également un risque d'inégalité d'offres de soins entre les cantons.
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
Experiences in my children's classes have been very positive in terms of learning to "live together" and developing the skills of listening, tolerance and adaptation. I'm in favor of it, provided that the support given to teachers is adequate.
Les expériences vécues dans les classes de mes enfants ont été très positives d'un point de vue de l'apprentissage du "vivre ensemble" et du développement de compétences d'écoute, de tolérance et d'adaptation. J'y suis favorable à condition que le soutien apporté aux enseignants soit adéquat.
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
I don't see the point today. The level is similar to that of neighboring countries, and it might be preferable to place more emphasis on promoting apprenticeships and existing bridges.
Je n'en vois pas l'intérêt aujourd'hui. Le niveau est similaire aux pays voisins et il est peut-être préférable de mettre davantage l'accent sur la valorisation des filières d'apprentissage et les passerelles existantes.
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
Equality of opportunity is one of the 17 sustainable development goals. While we must ensure equal opportunities for all, this does not mean taking everyone to the maturité gymnasiale. Everyone needs to acquire the foundations they need to flourish in their chosen social and professional life.
L'égalité des chances est un des 17 objectifs de développement durable. S'il faut s'assurer de l'égalité des chances pour toutes et tous, il ne s'agit pas pour autant d'amener tout le monde à la maturité gymnasiale. Chacun doit acquérir les bases permettant de s'épanouir dans la vie sociale et professionnelle qu'il aura choisi.
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
This is a difficult question to answer, as Switzerland must first and foremost be able to train the people it needs, and not plunder the resources of neighboring countries, particularly in the healthcare professions.
Difficile de répondre à cette question car la Suisse doit d'abord être en mesure de former les personnes dont elle a besoin, elle ne doit pas piller les ressources des pays voisins, je pense notamment aux professions de la santé.
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
Foreigners represent nearly 25% of the Swiss population! How can we do without their opinions when it comes to pursuing policies that are in line with the concerns of the population as a whole? The political involvement of people from a migrant background is also a source of diversity and richness for our democracy.
Les personnes étrangères représentent près de 25% de la population Suisse! Comment se passer de leur avis pour mener une politique en adéquation avec les enjeux de l'ensemble de la population? L'engagement politique des personnes issues de la migration est également une diversité et une richesse pour notre démocratie.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Legalizing cannabis would be detrimental to the development and psychological health of teenagers, and would not be effective in combating delinquency/crime linked to trafficking in the substance.
Une légalisation du cannabis serait délétère au développement et à la santé psychique des adolescents et ne permettra pas de lutter efficacement contre la délinquance/criminalité en lien avec le trafic de substance.
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
The current opportunities for care at the end of life seem to me to be appropriate and sufficient.
Les opportunités de soins actuelles face à la fin de vie me semblent opportunes et suffisantes.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I think it's right that there should be equality between different couples, but perhaps I'm not entirely in agreement with all the rights granted to heterosexual couples.
Je trouve juste qu'il y ai une égalité entre les différents couples mais je ne suis peut-être pas tout à fait en accord avec tous les droits accordés aux couples hétérosexuels.
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
The climatic and social challenges we face call for a strong state, capable of investing and supporting. For example: everyone found satisfaction in the support given to companies during the COVID period. Without a strong State, this would not have been possible. You can't call for support when the going gets tough and tax cuts at the same time.
Les défis climatiques et sociaux auxquels nous sommes confrontés demandent un Etat fort, capable d'investir et de soutenir. Pour exemple : Tout le monde a pu trouvé satisfaction dans le soutien apporté aux entreprises durant la période COVID. Sans un Etat fort cela n'aurait pas été possible. On ne peut pas à la fois réclamer du soutien quand la situation se complique et des baisses d'impôts.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, I think this way of doing things would be more in tune with today's lifestyles and would bring simplification and clarification.
Oui je pense que cette manière de faire serait plus en accord avec les modes de vies actuelles et apporterait de la simplification et clarification.
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]

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 |

Solidarity between cantons is essential.

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
Anyone working 100% should be entitled to a minimum wage of 4,000 francs. However, in practice, such a constraint could accentuate a form of precariousness (part-time work=> lower pensions) and companies could also forego pay rises. I'd prefer pressure to be brought to bear on improving and concluding new CLAs, with the emphasis on dialogue. It's important to consider the specific features of each branch.
Toute personne travaillant à 100% devrait pouvoir prétendre à un salaire minimum de 4'000 francs. Cependant, dans les faits, une telle contrainte pourrait accentuer une forme de précarité (temps partiel=> baisse des retraites) et les entreprises pourraient aussi renoncer à des augmentations de salaire. Je préfère qu'une pression soit mise sur l'amélioration et la conclusion de nouvelles CCT, le dialogue est à privilégier. Il est important de considérer les spécificités de chaque branche.
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 not sure I understand the question, but what is certain is that the Swiss financial center emits 15 to 20 times more CO2 than national emissions. This sector needs to seriously question itself on many levels: divestment from fossil fuels, sustainable investments, climate objectives, governance, risk management, controls...
Je ne suis pas certaine de comprendre la question mais ce qui est sûr c'est que la place financière suisse émet 15 à 20 fois plus de CO2 que les émissions nationales. Ce secteur doit sérieusement se remettre en question à bien des niveaux : désinvestissements dans les énergies fossiles, investissements durables, objectifs climatiques, gouvernance, gestion des risques, contrôles...
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
Liberalization of the electricity sector is out of the question. Liberalization rarely benefits the consumer, and when it comes to a commodity as essential and precious as electricity, it's in our interest to keep it in public hands for better control.
La libéralisation du secteur de l'électricité est à exclure. La libéralisation se fait rarement au profit du consommateur et quand il s'agit d'un bien aussi essentiel et précieux que l'électricité il est d'intérêt que ce bien reste en mains publiques pour une meilleure maitrise.
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 quality of our homes has a direct impact on our quality of life and health (noise, air quality, safety, well-being...), but also on our pocketbooks (insulation, energy).
La qualité de l'habitat influence directement notre qualité de vie et notre santé (bruit, qualité de l'air, sécurité, bien-être...) mais aussi notre porte-monnaie (isolation, énergie).
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
For equal skills and experience, there is no fair reason to justify a difference in pay between men and women.
A compétence et expérience égales il n'y a aucun juste motif justifiant une différence de salaire entre femme et homme.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Studies show that every new road or road widening generates an additional flow of cars. Transport accounts for 33% of CO2 emissions, over 70% of which are attributable to passenger cars. To meet today's challenges, the share of individual motorized mobility must be reduced in favor of multimodal mobility, using the right means of transport at the right time.
Les études montrent que toute nouvelle route ou élargissement de route entraine un flux d'automobiles supplémentaire. Le transport représente 33% des émissions de CO2 dont plus de 70% sont imputables aux voitures de tourisme. Pour répondre aux enjeux d'aujourd'hui, la part de mobilité motorisée individuelle doit diminuer au profit d'une mobilité multimodale qui utilise le bon moyen de transport au bon moment.
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
Electric cars alone do not solve the problem of mobility-related CO2 emissions. Above all, Switzerland needs to focus on efficient public transport that enables a shift from individual motorized mobility to public transport, and facilitates multimodal mobility.
La voiture électrique ne résous pas, à elle seule, le problème des émissions de CO2 en lien avec la mobilité. La Suisse doit surtout mettre l'accent sur des transports publics efficaces qui permettent un transfert de la mobilité motorisée individuelle vers les transports publics et facilité une mobilité multimodale.
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
It's the right balance between incentives and bans that will enable us to achieve our climate objectives. Bans must be directly linked to the preservation of health and the rational use of resources. Bans can buy time when behavioral change is too slow but necessary. Incentives provide the impetus for change and greater acceptance.
C'est un bon équilibre entre incitations et interdictions qui nous permettra d'atteindre les objectifs climatiques. Les interdictions doivent être en lien direct avec la préservation de la santé et une utilisation raisonnée des ressources. L'interdiction permet de gagner du temps lorsque l'évolution des comportements se fait trop lente mais qu'elle est pour autant nécessaire. Les incitations permettent de donner l'impulsion au changement et une meilleure acceptation.
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
No, because before relaxing these rules for the benefit of additional energy production, we need to focus on possible energy savings and the fight against waste (as any good manager would do) on the one hand, and on the development of photovoltaics on existing infrastructures on the other. This is not only for the sake of our landscapes and biodiversity, but also to save resources for private individuals.
Non car avant d'assouplir ces règles au bénéfice d'une production supplémentaire d'énergie, il convient de mettre l'accent sur les économies d'énergie possible et la lutte contre le gaspillage (comme le ferait n'importe quel bon gestionnaire) d'une part et sur le développement du photovoltaïque sur les infrastructures existantes d'autre part. Et ce, à la fois pour nos paysages et la biodiversité mais aussi pour des raisons d'économie de ressources au profit des particuliers.
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 potential for photovoltaic development on existing infrastructures in Switzerland is greater than total annual electricity consumption. We also have the capacity to further develop wind power, which is fully complementary to solar power, not to mention the advantages of hydroelectric power. Nuclear power poses safety problems in terms of waste storage and the use of limited resources such as uranium, not to mention the risk of accidents. Nuclear power is not the solution.
Le potentiel de développement du photovoltaïque sur les infrastructures existantes en suisse est supérieur à la consommation totale annuelle d'électricité. Nous avons aussi la capacité de développer davantage l'éolien, pleinement complémentaire au solaire, sans compter les atouts de l'hydraulique. Le nucléaire pose des problèmes de sécurité de stockage des déchets et d'utilisation des ressources limitées telle que l'uranium, sans compter le risque d'accident. Le nucléaire n'est pas la solution.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
An imprecise question, depending on what is meant by "a complete public service offering"...
Question imprécise, tout dépend de ce que l'on entend par "une offre de service public complète"...
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
One might be tempted to say yes. After all, those who consume more should pay the higher price, that's their freedom, and those who consume less will get a preferential price! This way of looking at electricity rates puts the focus on cost. But the problem with electricity goes beyond cost. What resources are used to produce the electricity we consume? Can we consume more and waste more than our neighbor simply because we can afford to, rather than because we really need to?
On pourrait être tenté de dire oui. Après tout celui qui consomme plus, qu'il paye le prix fort, c'est sa liberté, et ceux qui consomment peu auront un prix préférentiel ! Cette manière d'envisager les tarifs d'électricité met le focus sur son coût. Or, la problématique de l'électricité se pose au-delà du coût. Avec quelle ressource l'électricité consommée est-elle produite? Peut-on consommer plus et gaspiller plus que son voisin simplement parce qu'on en a les moyens et non le réel besoin?
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
I'm aware of the problems posed by the development of certain large predators. However, the relaxation currently envisaged at federal level will solve nothing. Shooting wolves when they are not being attacked has no educational value for the predator. It would undoubtedly be more appropriate to give shepherds the means to act simultaneously with attacks, without killing but making the wolf understand that it must retreat into hunting territories.
Je suis consciente des problématiques posées par le développement de certains grands prédateurs. Cependant, l'assouplissement actuellement envisagé au niveau fédéral ne résoudra rien. Tirer des loups à contre-temps en dehors des attaques n'a aucune vertu éducationnelle pour le prédateur. Il serait sans doute plus opportun de donner les moyens aux bergers d'agir simultanément aux attaques, sans tuer mais en faisant comprendre au loup qu'il doit se retrancher dans les territoires de chasse.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Farms undergo training to qualify for direct payments. If training is also provided to enable other structures to benefit from direct payments, I have no objection. Contribution to the cultivated landscape, biodiversity, efficient use of resources, security of supply... Services essential to the preservation of life in all its dimensions.
Les exploitations agricoles suivent une formation pour pouvoir prétendre aux paiements directs. Si une formation est également mise en place pour que d'autres structures puissent bénéficier des paiements directs je ne m'y oppose pas. Contribution au paysage cultivé, biodiversité, utilisation efficiente des ressources, sécurité de l'approvisionnement... Prestations essentielles à la préservation de la vie dans toutes ses dimensions.
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 the Swiss Academy of Sciences: "In Switzerland, the quality, quantity and interconnection of many environments are currently insufficient to safeguard biodiversity and ecosystem services in the long term." So, yes, moving to 30% would double the country's current surface area dedicated to safeguarding biodiversity, and would be in line with current international negotiations.
Selon d'académie suisse des sciences : "En Suisse, la qualité, la quantité et l’interconnexion de nombreux milieux sont aujourd’hui insuffisantes pour sauvegarder à long terme la biodiversité et les services écosystémiques." Donc, oui, passer à 30% doublerait la surface actuelle du pays consacrée à la sauvegarde de la biodiversité et serait en adéquation avec les actuelles négociations internationales.
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
But we have to be careful about the substitutes we use, as there are sometimes false evidence or false good ideas (falsely biodegradable plastics), and this ban must include a few exceptions, particularly in the care sector (even if the quantity of disposable material used in care can be drastically reduced).
Mais il faut faire attention aux substituts utilisés, il y a parfois de fausses évidences ou de fausses bonnes idées (plastiques faussement biodégradables), d'autre part cette interdiction doit comporter quelques exceptions, notamment dans le domaine des soins (même si la quantité de matériel jetable dans les soins peut être drastiquement diminuée).
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
With the necessary precautions. I don't think the problem is 5G per se, but the cocktail of waves to which we are subjected (wifi, telephony, computers, printers, televisions, Bluetooth...) and for which there are no studies to assess the effects on health. Prevention and advice are insufficient to make us aware of our responsibilities in this area.
Avec les précautions qui s'imposent. Je pense que le problème n'ai pas la 5G en soit mais le cocktail d'ondes auxquels nous sommes soumis (wifi, téléphonie, ordinateurs, imprimantes, téléviseurs, Bluetooth...) et pour lequel il n'existe aucune étude pour évaluer les effets sur la santé. La prévention et les conseils sont insuffisants pour nous responsabiliser dans nos pratiques à ce sujet.
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
Digital security is one of today's most pressing issues, and one in which numerous loopholes have been identified. If the Confederation imposes constraints on the cantons, it must also support them financially.
La sécurité numérique est un enjeu actuel pour lequel il est constaté de nombreuses failles. Si la Confédération impose des contraintes aux cantons, elle doit également les soutenir financièrement.
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)?

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
Budgeting is a complex exercise, requiring time to analyze the issues and respect the balances. What means would be given to voters to take into account the ins and outs of a change in resources in this or that area? The Confederation's budgetary analysis is entrusted to the federal chambers, which receive a great deal of information and have the opportunity to ask precise questions, which will not be the case for the citizen.
L'exercice budgétaire est complexe et nécessite du temps pour en analyser les enjeux et en respecter les équilibres. Quels moyens seraient donnés aux électeurs pour tenir compte des tenants et des aboutissants d'une modification de moyens dans tel ou tel domaine? L'analyse budgétaire de la Confédération est confiée aux chambres fédérales qui reçoivent passablement d'informations et ont la possibilité de poser des questions précises, ce qui ne sera pas le cas du citoyen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I think the budget priorities lie elsewhere: greater support for energy-efficient renovation of buildings and public transport, more support for prevention and health promotion, more support for agro-ecology. That's what's at stake, not our military security.
Je pense que les priorités budgétaires sont ailleurs : soutien plus large à la rénovation énergétique des bâtiments et aux transports publics, plus de soutien à la prévention et à la promotion de la santé, plus de soutien à l'agro-écologie.

Comment
There are professions where raising the retirement age is not an option, and at the same time, the age pyramid and the job market will encourage us to work longer. I'm in favor of making the retirement age more flexible, according to each person's possibilities and desires, within a defined range.
Il est des professions où augmenter l'âge de la retraite n'est pas envisageable et en même temps, la pyramide des âges et le marché de l'emploi vont nous inciter à travailler plus longtemps. Je suis pour une flexibilisation de l'âge de la retraite selon les possibilités et les désirs de chacun.e dans une fourchette définie.
