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
C'est ce que demande Le Centre avec son initiative "Des rentes équitables".
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
Sur le principe non. Mais comme des mesures compensatoires sont prévues pour les classes d'âge en transition, j'accepterai cette réforme.
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
Le congé parental flexible et moderne est un des cheval de bataille des jeunes du Centre.
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
L'encouragement de la construction de logements d'utilité publique est une tâche des cantons et des communes. La Confédération a déjà alloué à cet effet un crédit-cadre de 250 millions de francs en 2020 dans le cadre du "Fonds de roulement".
Health
Introduce compulsory vaccination for children
Should compulsory vaccination of children be introduced based on the Swiss vaccination plan?

|---|---|---|---|
Introduce a tax on sugary foods

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Aujourd'hui, les grands groupes alimentaires se sont mis ensemble pour réduire les formulations et taux de sucre dans leurs recettes. Je préfère cette solution qui amène des résultats plutôt qu'une taxation répercutée sur le portemonnaie des familles.

Should insured persons contribute more to health care costs (e.g., increase the minimum deductible)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Non. Il est important en temps de crise d'agir vite, que cela soit juste ou non. Par contre, suite à ces périodes, le Parlement doit pouvoir exercer son rôle de haute surveillance en corrigeant, critiquant et/ou adaptant le dispositif si nécessaire.
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
Les soins de santé relèvent de la compétence des cantons. Il convient toutefois de promouvoir davantage la collaboration supracantonale dans ce domaine, par exemple en matière de planification hospitalière. Ce n'est qu'ainsi que nous pourrons continuer à réduire les coûts de la santé sans perdre en qualité.
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
Ayant un frère enseignant spécialisé, je discute souvent de ce sujet avec ces avantages sur le papier, mais aussi ces difficultés de mise en oeuvre. Une école intégrative est en principe à saluer. La pratique de ces dernières années montre que la mise en œuvre pose de grandes difficultés.
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
Si cela convient à définir une maturité en 4 ans, je serai contre. le Jura a une maturité en 3 ans avec des taux de réussite des étudiants très bons dans les universités.

Sous conditions très strictes
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
L'introduction d'un troisième sexe est liée à de nombreuses conséquences de droit civil dans divers domaines de la société. En voici quelques exemples : Prévoyance, assurances, droit du travail, service militaire obligatoire, etc. A l'heure actuelle, il convient donc d'analyser les conséquences de l'introduction d'un troisième sexe.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
C'est au niveau cantonal qu'il faut agir avant le niveau fédéral. A l'heure actuelle, le Centre renonce à des baisses d'impôts, car la Confédération est confrontée à de nombreuses dépenses supplémentaires, par exemple dans les domaines de l'armée, de la garde des enfants, etc.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

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
Le Jura applique le modèle d'un salaire minimum qui fonctionne. Lors que des contrats type et CCT existent, elles doivent être respectées et être prioritaires sur le salaire minimum.
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
Il faut tirer les leçons de l'échec du Credit Suisse. Il faut une réorientation fondamentale de la législation bancaire et de la surveillance. Celle-ci doit notamment viser la grande banque d'importance systémique internationale nouvellement créée, selon le principe suivant : plus une banque est grande, plus elle est réglementée.
Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità
Should private households be free to choose their electricity supplier (complete liberalization of the electricity market)?

Achieve climate targets through incentives
To achieve climate targets, should incentives and target agreements be relied on exclusively, rather than bans and restrictions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
L'échec de la loi CO2 en 2021 a montré que la population ne voulait pas de taxe, ni restriction. La loi sur la protection du climat, qui a été clairement adoptée le 18 juin 2023, y compris par la base du parti du Centre, prévoit des incitations et des conventions d'objectifs. D'autres mesures peuvent être possibles, mais celles-ci ne doivent être nécessaires que si les objectifs climatiques ne sont pas atteints.
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?

Are you in favor of further relaxing the protection regulations for large predators (lynx, wolf, bear)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Concernant le loup, l'espèce est en croissance exponentielle et n'est donc plus une espèce menacée. Le maintien d'une agriculture pastorale dépend de la régulation. C'est un choix de société!
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
C'est déjà le cas! Cette question est absurde

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
La position de la Suisse est hypocrite dans le domaine. Elle se pose des milliers de questions sur le thème de l'Ukraine. Pourtant elle sait parfaitement que des armes en provenance de Suisse sont exportées ou se retrouvent sur les champs de batailles ailleurs dans le monde.

L'économie de marché et la concurrence doivent être notre guide. Cependant, l'Etat a le rôle, la responsabilité et le devoir de prendre les mesures pour corriger ses impacts négatifs et dysfonctionnement (monopole, environnement..). De plus, des tâches étatiques ne peuvent parfois pas être laissées à l'économie de marché.

aujourd'hui, parfois, c'est déjà le manque de protection de l'environnement qui limite notre croissance. Cependant, il faut avoir en tête que de nombreuses mesures de protection de l'environnement permettent de créer de nouvelles activités économiques et emplois. J'ai toujours beaucoup de mal avec l'opposition des deux sujets.

Oui pour la Confédération, non pour les cantons comme le Jura. Aujourd'hui, les cantons doivent mettre autant de moyens que la Confédération pour la réduction individuelle des primes. Cela correspond également au contre-projet à l'initiative du PS sur la réduction des primes, que Le Centre soutient. Toutefois, l'objectif prioritaire est de s'attaquer à la racine du problème de l'augmentation des coûts de la santé. Pour cela, l'initiative du Centre pour un frein aux coûts est nécessaire.
