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
Just as pensions need to be improved across the board.
Tout comme les rentes doivent être améliorées de façon générale.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This is a priority in our country, which is still in the Middle Ages when it comes to family policy.
C'est une priorité, dans notre pays qui demeure au Moyen-Âge en matière de politique familiale.
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 current situation seems satisfactory to me. The vaccination plan is recommended by pediatricians, but parents remain free to make their own choices (frequency of vaccinations, priorities, etc.). In the event of a pandemic threat, the regulations could be tightened up by a number of different measures before we come to a complete vaccination obligation.
La situation actuelle me paraît satisfaisante. Le plan vaccinal est recommandé par les pédiatres mais une liberté de choix demeure pour les parents (rythme des vaccins, priorités, etc.). Si des menaces pandémiques surviennent, la réglementation pourrait être durcie par différentes mesures avant d'en arriver à une obligation vaccinale complète.
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
Sugar is a scourge for public health and generates costs for the community. It's in nobody's interest to eat too much sugar, except for industry, which sees it as a juicy source of income.
Le sucre est un fléau pour la santé publique et engendre des coûts à charge de la collectivité. Personne n'a intérêt à une alimentation trop sucrée, sauf les industries qui y voient une source de juteux revenus.
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
People on low incomes are already hard hit by medical expenses. So much so, in fact, that Switzerland has a high rate of people foregoing medical care for financial reasons.
Les personnes à faible revenu sont déjà assez durement frappées par leurs frais médicaux. A tel point que la Suisse connaît un taux important de renonciation aux soins pour des motifs financiers.
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
Generally speaking, the pandemic has been handled rather well in Switzerland, with freedoms preserved to a greater extent than in most neighboring countries. In my view, the current legal situation (with the possibility of intervention in emergencies, well defined by various mechanisms that have been further strengthened by Parliament) represents a good balance.
De façon générale, la pandémie a été plutôt bien gérée en Suisse, avec une préservation des libertés plus importante que dans la plupart des pays environnants. La situation légale actuelle (possibilité d'intervention en cas d'urgence, bien cadrée par différents mécanismes encore renforcés par le Parlement) me paraît être un bon équilibre.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
I'm in favor of inclusive schools, but this presupposes that teachers are given sufficient resources to carry out their duties, because the presence of students with learning difficulties in a classroom can be a destabilizing factor.
Je suis favorable à l'école inclusive, mais cela suppose de donner assez de moyens aux enseignants pour conduire leurs missions, car la présence d'élèves à difficultés d'apprentissage dans une classe peut être un facteur déstabilisant.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A quarter of Switzerland's resident population pays taxes here, finances our social insurance schemes and has to wait 10 years before they can become Swiss. Switzerland has one of the most restrictive naturalization laws in Europe.
Un quart de la population résidente en Suisse y paye des impôts, finance nos assurances sociales et doit attendre 10 ans avant de pouvoir devenir suisse. La Suisse a l'un des droits de la naturalisation les plus restrictifs en Europe.
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
At local level, integration also involves exercising political rights, after a certain period of residence. Foreigners pay taxes here and need to make use of municipal services; their opinion counts!
A l'échelon local, l'intégration passe aussi par l'exercice des droits politiques, après un certain temps de résidence. Les personnes étrangères y payent des impôts et ont besoin de solliciter les services communaux; leur avis compte!
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland's current system of passive euthanasia, authorized under certain conditions, seems to me to strike a good balance between protecting patients' self-determination and preserving certain safeguards.
Le régime actuel en Suisse d'euthanasie passive autorisée sous certaines conditions me paraît être un bon équilibre pour protéger l'autodétermination des patients tout en conservant certains gardes-fous.
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
Yes, without hesitation. Marital status should have no impact on the tax burden.
Oui, sans hésiter. Le statut marital ne devrait pas avoir de conséquence sur la charge fiscale.
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 |

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
During the financial crisis of 2008, the dominant political forces promised that this would never happen again. Unfortunately, 2023 has shown that the world of finance has not learned from its mistakes, and that the profits of a few unscrupulous executives take precedence over the common good.
Lors de la crise financière de 2008, les forces politiques dominantes nous avaient promis que cela ne se reproduirait plus jamais. Cette année 2023 aura malheureusement montré que le monde de la finance n'a pas appris de ses erreurs et que les profits de quelques dirigeants sans scrupules passaient avant le bien commun.
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
In certain selected cases, I'm in favor of greater density so that housing can be built. But in general, I'm not in favor of weakening noise protection or standards designed to promote quality urban planning.
Dans certains cas choisis, je suis d'accord pour plus de densité de manière à pouvoir construire du logement. Mais de façon générale je ne suis pas favorable à affaiblir la protection contre le bruit ou les normes destinées à promouvoir un urbanisme de qualité.
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
It is unacceptable that the constitutional mandate of equality between men and women is still not being met, and that women earn less during their working lives and in retirement.
Il n'est pas acceptable que le mandat constitutionnel de l 'égalité entre les hommes et les femmes ne soit toujours pas atteint et que les femmes gagnent moins durant leur vie professionnelle et durant leur retraite.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Widening freeways has never been a solution, as traffic jams originate at junctions and exits. It also leads to increased nuisance for nature and neighbors, and is particularly costly at a time when we need to invest in other forms of mobility if we are to meet our climate targets.
Elargir les autoroutes n'a jamais été une solution, car les embouteillages proviennent des lieux de croisement et de sortie. Cela entraîne en outre une augmentation des nuisances pour la nature et le voisinage et coûte particulièrement cher alors qu'il faut investir dans d'autres formes de mobilité pour atteindre les objectifs climatiques.
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
The European Union is well on the way to doing so. We need to prepare for it, because the road to carbon neutrality will not be possible without drastically reducing fossil fuel consumption in the transport sector.
L'Union européenne est en passe de le faire. Il faut s'y préparer, car le chemin vers la neutralité carbone ne pourra pas se faire sans réduire fortement la consommation d'énergies fossiles dans le secteur des transports.
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 carrots and sticks, as in any good public policy.
Il faut un mélange de la carotte et du bâton, comme dans toute bonne politique publique.
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
Sometimes, for the development of renewable energies, we need to adapt certain regulations that are too rigid. But generally speaking, sacrificing nature to produce energy means robbing Paul to pay John... and that's not the way to solve the challenges of climate protection and biodiversity. Ecosystems play an important role in climate protection (CO2 capture, cooling, etc.).
Parfois, pour le développement des énergies renouvelables, il faut adapter certaines réglementations trop rigides. Mais de façon générale, sacrifier la nature pour produire de l'énergie, c'est déshabiller Paul pour rhabiller Jean... et ce n'est pas ainsi que l'on résoudra les défis en matière de protection du climat et de la biodiversité. Les écosystèmes jouent un rôle important dans la protection du climat (capture de CO2, refroidissement, etc.).
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
Nuclear power is not a renewable energy source, and poses the same geopolitical problems as fossil fuels: more than half of the nuclear fuel used in Switzerland comes from Russia. We must therefore favor indigenous (renewable) energy sources.
L'énergie nucléaire n'est pas une énergie renouvelable et pose les mêmes problèmes géopolitiques que l'énergie fossile: le combustible nucléaire utilisé en Suisse provient pour plus de la moitié de Russie. Il faut donc favoriser les sources d'énergie indigènes (renouvelables).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This is the causality principle (polluter pays), which can have a certain incentive effect on lower consumption. It is not fair that highly polluting industries should pay the same rate as a household that makes an effort to moderate its consumption. However, this principle should not be applied too rigidly, which could sometimes add real financial burdens for low-income households. Social compensations or mitigations are sometimes required.
C'est le principe de causalité (pollueur-payeur), qui peut avoir un certain effet incitatif sur la baisse de la consommation. Il n'est pas juste que les industries très polluantes payent le même tarif qu'un ménage qui fait des efforts pour modérer sa consommation. Il faut cependant éviter que ce principe ne soit appliqué de façon trop rigide, ce qui pourrait parfois ajouter de vrais fardeaux financiers pour les faibles revenus. Des compensations ou atténuations sociales sont parfois requises.
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 latest revision of the hunting law in December 2022 already makes it possible to shoot large predators in many circumstances. It is now essential to focus on herd protection measures, where there is still a lot to be done for livestock farmers, who are really often alone to face the challenge.
La dernière révision de la loi sur la chasse en décembre 2022 permet déjà de tirer des grands prédateurs dans de nombreuses circonstances. Il est maintenant indispensable de mettre l'accent sur les mesures de protection des troupeaux, où il reste encore beaucoup à faire pour les éleveurs qui sont vraiment souvent seuls pour affronter le défi.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We need to work towards direct payments that provide good incentives (pesticide reduction, action to promote biodiversity, etc.). But we can't abolish direct payments for everyone else overnight, because that would put agriculture in great difficulty.
Il faut oeuvrer pour des paiements directs qui donnent de bons incitatifs (réduction des pesticides, action en faveur de la biodiversité, etc.). Mais on ne peut pas, du jour au lendemain, supprimer les paiements directs pour tous les autres, car cela mettrait l'agriculture en grande difficulté.
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
This is a commitment made in international conventions, and Switzerland must work towards it. Protecting nature and biodiversity will be a huge challenge in the coming century, given the increasing damage to ecosystems everywhere.
C'est un engagement pris dans les conventions internationales et la Suisse doit oeuvrer dans ce sens. La protection de la nature et de la biodiversité sera un immense enjeu du siècle à venir, vu les atteintes aux écosystèmes qui se multiplient partout.
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
It would be an effective way of combating waste. It would be a win-win situation!
Ce serait un moyen pertinent de lutter contre le gaspillage. Tout le monde serait gagnant!
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 |

Comment
Programmed obsolescence is a scourge in which both consumers and the environment lose out.
L'obsolescence programmée est un fléau où les consommateurs et l'environnement sont perdants.
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
The development of 5G technology is necessary for certain specific cutting-edge applications, but complete coverage of the whole country is not desirable, for economic, health and environmental reasons (impact on the landscape, energy efficiency, etc.).
Un développement de la technologie 5G est nécessaire pour certaines applications bien spécifiques de pointe, mais la couverture entière de tout le territoire n'est pas souhaitable, tant pour des motifs économiques, sanitaires qu'écologiques (atteintes au paysage, sobriété énergétique, etc.)
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
The digitization of public services needs to be federally regulated, but certain powers must remain in the hands of the cantons for their own public services.
Il est nécessaire d'encadrer par des règles fédérales la numérisation des services publics, mais certaines compétences doivent demeurer en mains des cantons pour ce qui concerne leurs propres services publics.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Regulation is undoubtedly necessary, but it raises tricky questions, notably in relation to the risk of content control (who decides what content is to be banned from democratic debate, except in clear situations?
Un réglementation est assurément nécessaire, mais cela soulève des questions délicates notamment en lien avec le risque de contrôle des contenus (qui décide qu'un contenu du débat démocratique est à bannir, hormis les situations claires?), de protection des données, etc.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The instrument is well known in some cantons and poses no major difficulties, but at Confederation level, there is reason to fear frequent blockages on important (and urgent) Confederation policies. The people express themselves through the ordinary popular referendum and initiative on the tasks of the Confederation. There should be no need to add a financial referendum to this.
L'instrument est connu dans certains cantons et cela ne pose pas de difficultés majeures, mais à l'échelle de la Confédération, on peut redouter des blocages fréquents sur des politiques importantes (et urgentes) de la Confédération. Le peuple s'exprime par le référendum et l'initiative populaires ordinaires sur les tâches de la Confédération. Il ne devrait pas être nécessaire de doubler ceci d'un référendum financier.
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
This is incompatible with neutrality as Switzerland currently practises it.
C'est incompatible avec la neutralité telle que la Suisse la pratique actuellement.
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
This is a very delicate issue in the context of the discussion on support for Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression on its territory. It's a real dilemma. As it stands, however, authorizing the re-export of arms runs counter to international conventions on neutrality, and does not correspond to the spirit of our Constitution. If Switzerland really wants to take the plunge, it should first vote on the subject and denounce the rules of international law relating to neutrality.
Cette question est très délicate dans le cadre de la discussion sur le soutien à apporter à l'Ukraine face à l'agression russe sur son territoire. C'est un vrai dilemme. En l'état, autoriser la réexportation d'armes se heurte toutefois aux conventions internationales sur la neutralité et ne correspond pas à l'esprit de notre Constitution. Si la Suisse veut vraiment faire le pas, elle devrait d'abord voter sur le sujet et dénoncer les règles de droit international en lien avec la neutralité.

Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

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 |

Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Absolute free trade, especially in agriculture, encourages wage dumping and the production of environmentally damaging goods and services. It's better to promote our local products than to overly encourage the import of foodstuffs from the other side of the world. Our farmers cannot compete with farmers from other countries (wages, cost of living, etc.).
Le libre-échange absolu, notamment agricole, favorise le dumping salarial et la production de biens et services qui portent atteinte à l'environnement. Il vaut mieux valoriser nos produits locaux plutôt que de favoriser à outrance l'importation de biens alimentaires de l'autre bout du monde. Nos agriculteurs ne peuvent pas tenir la concurrence face aux agriculteurs d'autres pays (salaires, coût de la vie, etc.)
Comply with social and environmental standards
Should Swiss companies be obliged to ensure that their subsidiaries and suppliers operating abroad comply with social and environmental standards?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The European Union will very soon go even further than the initiative for responsible multinationals, which the people supported in 2020 (unfortunately rejected by a majority of cantons).
L'Union européenne va très vite aller même plus loin que l'initiative pour les multinationales responsables, que le peuple avait soutenu en 2020 (refusée malheureusement par une majorité des cantons)
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
Switzerland must be able to take a stand on the international stage when states violate human rights or international law. This does not mean, however, that it can go to war or take part in armed conflict (neutrality in the narrow sense).
La Suisse doit pouvoir se positionner sur la scène internationale lorsque des Etats violent les droits humains ou le droit international. Cela ne veut pas dire pour autant qu'elle peut entrer en guerre ou participer à un conflit armé (neutralité au sens étroit).

However, digitization also brings its own challenges and risks, which are all too often overlooked. The omnipresence of screens in our lives is a real risk for public health and children's education. Electricity consumption linked to digital technology is also a very serious risk for the planet.

When the KVG/LAMAl was introduced in the 1990s, health premiums represented less than 10% of income. Today, there are situations where the financial burden of premiums as a proportion of income has become unbearable, reaching almost 20%.
Lors de l'adoption de la LAMAl dans les années 1990, les primes maladies représentaient moins de 10% du revenu. Aujourd'hui, on trouve des situations où le poids financier des primes dans le revenu est devenu insupportable, allant jusqu'à près de 20%.
