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
The cantons should spend the same amount as the federal government.
Die Kantone sollten gleichviel aufwenden wie der Bund.
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
The ways of life have changed. It is no longer justified that the marriage certificate should result in such a blatant discrimination against unmarried couples.
Die Lebensformen haben sich verändert. Es ist nichtmehr gerechtfertigt, dass mit dem Trauschein eine derart krasse Benachteiligung gegenüber nicht verheirateten Paaren stattfindet.
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 reduction of the conversion rate is necessary to stop the redistribution from young to old.
Die Senkung des Umwandlungssatzes ist notwendig, damit die Umverteilung von Jung zu Alt gestoppt wird.
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
An expansion would require additional financing through employee and employer contributions. This would make the Swiss workplace even more expensive and is currently not appropriate.
Eine Erweiterung würde eine zusätzliche Finazierung über die Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitgeberbeiträge bedingen. Das verteuert den Arbeitsplatz Schweiz zusätzlich und ist aktuell nicht angebracht.
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
This is a classic task for the municipalities and cantons. They know best in which localities there is a need for action.
Das ist eine klassische Aufgabe für die Gemeinden und Kantone. Sie wissen am besten, in welchen Ortschaften Handlungsbedarf besteht.
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 responsibility lies with the parents.
Die Verantwortung liegt bei den Eltern.
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
Own responsibility is called for here. In addition, food producers have already voluntarily and successfully reduced sugar content. Further voluntary measures are being implemented.
Hier ist Eigentverantwortung gefragt. Zudem haben die Lebensmittelproduzenten bereits freiwillig und erfolgreich den Zuckergehalt gesenkt. Weitere freiwillige Massnahmen sind in der Umsetzung.
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
This is not bearable for low incomes.
Für tiefe Einkommen ist das nicht verkraftbar.
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 must have the authority to act when real emergencies exist. In this way, it protects the population.
Der Bundesrat muss die Handlungskompetenz haben, wenn echte Notlagen bestehen. Damit schützt er die Bevölkerung.
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
Health care is the responsibility of the cantons. However, the Confederation should act in a coordinating capacity through nationwide hospital planning and promote intercantonal cooperation.
Die Gesundheitsversorgung ist Sache der Kantone. Der Bund soll aber durch eine landesweite Spitalplanung koordinierd wirken und die interkantonale Zusammenarbeit fördern.
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
Whenever possible, integration is preferable to separation.
Wenn immer möglich ist Integration der Separation vorzuziehen.
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 requirements for the purely gymnasium-based path are to be kept high. The apprenticeship with vocational baccalaureate is an equal educational path.
Die Anforderungen für den rein gymnasiale Weg sind hoch zu halten. Die Lehre mit Berufsmatura ist ein ebenbürtiger Bildungsweg.
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
Genuine talent must not be excluded due to a lack of financial resources.
Echte Talente dürfen nicht aufgrund fehlender finanzieller Mittel ausgeschlossen werden.
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
There is no need for action.
Es gibt keinen Handlungsbedarf.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is important to ensure fast procedures here on site and then to implement the decisions consistently.
Es ist wichtig, hier vor Ort für schnelle Verfahren zu sorgen und dann eine konsequente Umsetzung der Entscheide vollziehen.
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
Voting and election rights are reserved for Swiss citizens.
Das Stimm- und Wahlrecht ist den Schweizer Bürgerinnen und Bürger vorbehalten.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Open communication and prevention are more useful than bans.
Offene Kommunikation und Prävention nützt mehr als Verbote.
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
If active euthanasia is permitted, it is hard to see why physicians, of all people, are excluded from it as specialists.
Wenn die aktive Sterbehilfe erlaubt ist, ist nicht einzusehen, warum ausgerechnet die Ärztinnen und Ärzte als Fachspezialisten davon ausgeschlossen sind.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
There are too many unanswered questions about what this would mean in terms of retirement planning, insurance, labor laws, conscription, etc.
Es sind zuviele Fragen offen, was das in Bezug auf Vorsorge, Versicherung, Arbeitsrecht, Wehrpflicht, etc. bedeuten würde.
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
With regard to the use of reproductive medicine, I do not see equality. Here, the welfare of the child is to be weighted higher than individual freedom.
In Bezug auf die Anwendung der Fortpflanzungsmedizin sehe ich keine Gleichberechtigung. Hier ist das Kindswohl höher zu gewichten, als die individuelle Freiheit.
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
First of all, the burdens of the Covid measures must be removed and the federal budget balanced. We cannot postpone this to the next generations.
Zuerst sind die Lasten der Covidmassnahmen abzubauen und den Bundeshaushalt auszugleichen. Wir können das nicht auf die nächsten Generationen hinausschieben.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The current marriage penalty can be eliminated much more easily. The cantons have been doing it for decades.
Die aktuelle Heiratsstrafe lässt sich viel einfacher beseitigen. Die Kantone machen es seit Jahrzehnten vor.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is not appropriate to introduce national tax harmonization in this area.
Es ist nicht angebracht, in diesem Bereich eine nationale Steuerharmonisierung einzuführen.
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 financial equalization system works. The law already provides for a regular review.
Der Finanzausgleich funktioniert. Das Gesetz sieht bereits eine regelmässige Überprüfung vor.
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
The state must not interfere so seriously in the economy.
Der Staat darf sich nicht derart gravierend in die Wirtschaft einmischen.
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
After the CS crisis, it is important to carefully examine which legal adjustments are necessary. The banking center is very important for Switzerland and must not be burdened with hurdles that are internationally harmful or can be easily circumvented.
Nach der CS-Krise gilt es sorgfälltig zu prüfen, welche gesetzlichen Anpassungen notwendig sind. Der Bankenplatz ist für die Schweiz sehr wichtig und darf nicht mit Hürden belastet werden, die international schädlich sind oder leicht umgangen werden können.
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
In the long term, the liberalization of the electricity market should be strived for. To achieve this, however, trade with the EU must be secured and there must be sufficient expansion of renewable energy.
Langfristig ist die Strommarktliberalisierung anzustreben. Dazu muss aber der gesicherte Handel mit der EU und ein genügender Zubau erneuerbarer Energie vorliegen.
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
Noise protection must be guaranteed. On the other hand, I welcome the possibility of a utilization bonus for buildings with exemplary energy efficiency.
Der Lärmschutz ist zu gewährleisten. Hingegen begrüsse ich die Möglichkeit für Ausnützungsbonus für energetisch vorbildliche Bebauungen.
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
The economy is required to pay equal wages for equal work.
Die Wirtschaft ist gefordert, für gleiche Arbeit, gleiche Löhne zu bezahlen.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The prerequisite for an expansion is that a bottleneck removal does not simply postpone the problem by a few kilometers.
Voraussetzung für einen Ausbau ist, dass eine Engpassbeseitigung das Problem nicht einfach um ein paar Kilometer verschiebt.
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
This is not necessary because the automobile manufacturers themselves describe this path. The Swiss market is not relevant for this.
Das ist nicht notwendig, weil die Automobilhersteller selber diesen Weg beschreiben. Der Schweizer Markt ist dafür nicht relevant.
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
That is our Swiss way. We have confirmed this with the Climate Protection Act.
Das ist unser Schweizer Weg. Wir haben das mit dem Klimaschutzgesetz so bestätigt.
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
It is simply necessary, but also honest. We cannot demand the conversion to renewable energies and then think that this can be done without interfering with the landscape and our building stock.
Es ist schlicht notwendig, aber auch ehrlich. Wir können nicht den Umbau auf erneuerbare Energien fordern und dann meinen, dass das ohne Eingriffe in der Landschaft und an unserem Gebäudepark geht.
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 much-vaunted new technology is still a long way from being ready for the market. It would also take a very long time for a new plant to be built. We have the gap now and have to build renewable capacity quickly.
Die viel beschworene neue Technologie ist noch lange nicht marktreif. Es würde zudem sehr lange dauern, bis ein neues Werk steht. Wir haben die Lücke jetzt und müssen dementsprechend schnell die erneuerbaren Zubauen.
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
It is important that basic services are provided throughout the country to prevent migration to cities.
Es ist wichtig, dass die Grunddienstleistungen im ganzen Land angeboten werden, um eine Abwanderung in die Städte zu verhindern.
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
The price would certainly steer. But I see problems for low-income people and our economy.
Der Preis würde sicher lenken. Ich sehe aber Probleme für die Menschen mit tiefem Einkommen und unsere Wirtschaft.
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 current amendment of the Hunting Act must now be implemented consistently. Switzerland has habitat for large carnivores. However, this is limited and regulation is imperative.
Die aktuelle Anpassung des Jagdgesetzes muss jetzt konsequent umgesetzt werden. Die Schweiz hat Lebensraum für Grossraubtiere. Dieser ist aber beschränkt und eine Regulierung ist zwingend notwendig.
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 the right balance between protection and benefit. For agriculture, this means balancing ecology and the production of food. With the lowering path for pesticides, agriculture is already strongly challenged.
Wir brauchen einen richtiges Mass an Schutz und Nutzen. Für die Landwirtschaft heisst das ein Abwägen zwischen Ökologie und der Produtkion von Lebensmittel. Mit dem Absenkpfad für Pestizide ist die Landwirtschaft schon stark gefordert.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The Swiss animal protection law is already very strict. It does not need any further tightening.
Das Schweizer Tierschutzgesetz ist bereits sehr streng. Es braucht keine weiteren Verschärfungen.
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
The greatest biodiversity deficit is in built-up areas, especially in urban areas. This must not simply be compensated for with even more designated agricultural land.
Das grösste Biodiversitätsdefizit besteht im überbauten, vor allem im städtischen Gebiet. Dies darf nicht einfach mit noch mehr ausgeschiedenen Landwirtschaftsflächen kompensiert werden.
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
With my postulate, which has been declared substantial, I am asking the Federal Council to clarify how and to what extent an advance recycling fee must be levied on these products so that a steering effect can be achieved.
Mit meinem erheblich erklärten Postulat verlange ich vom Bundesrat die Klärung, wie und und in welchem Umfang eine vorgezogene Recylinggebühr auf diesen Produkten erhoben werden muss, damit eine lenkende Wirkung erzielt werden kann.
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
Business and society want this technology - and the necessary infrastructure is needed accordingly.
Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft will diese Technik - entsprechend braucht es die Infrastrukturen dazu.
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 federal government should take the lead and develop the best solution in partnership with the cantons.
Der Bund soll die Führung übernehmen und in partnerschaftlicher Zusammenarbeit mit den Kantonen die beste Lösung entwickeln.
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
Supervision and well-founded criticism of the activities of state radio and television is important. Simply withdrawing money across the board is the wrong way to go.
Aufsicht und fundierte Kritik über das Wirken des staatlichen Radio und Fernsehen ist wichtig. Einfach pauschal Geld entziehen ist der falsche Weg.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We reach the age of majority at 18. There is no reason to separate the important right to vote and to be elected from this.
Wir erreichen die Volljährigkeit mit 18 Jahren. Es gibt keinen Grund, das wichtige Stimm- und Wahlrecht davon abzutrennen.
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
We already have extensive popular rights and have to contest many votes. Parliament has to bear the responsibility here.
Wir haben bereits ausgedehnte Volksrechte und müssen viele Abstimmungen bestreiten. Das Parlament hat hier die Verantwortung zu tragen.
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
We have reduced the army too much. In contrast, the population has increased.
Wir haben die Armee zu stark reduziert. Im Gegensatz hat die Bevölkerung zugenommen.
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 makes sense and is important. However, accession or accession-like linkages are not negotiable.
Die Zusammenarbeit macht Sinn und ist wichtig. Ein Beitritt oder beitrittsähnliche Verknüpfungen sind aber nicht verhandelbar.
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
We have a very strict arms export regime. Now, when states with our values defend themselves against a war of aggression, they should also be allowed to use and pass on the legitimately purchased weapons.
Wir haben ein sehr strenges Waffenausfuhrregime. Wenn nun Staaten mit unseren Werten sich gegen einen Angriffskrieg wehren, sollten sie die legitim gekauften Waffen auch verwenden und weitergeben dürfen.
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
We do not need a surveillance state.
Wir brauchen keinen Überwachungsstaat.
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
That would be a huge step backwards and would create considerable problems for us, especially in the area of migration.
Das wäre ein riesen Rückschritt und würde uns gerade im Migrationsbereich erhebliche Probleme schaffen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We urgently need clear, long-term regulations with the EU. Accession is definitely out of the question.
Wir brauchen dringend klare, langfristig gültige Regelungen mit der EU. Ein Beitritt kommt dabei auf keinen Fall in Frage.
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
This will be difficult for agriculture. On the other hand, it is very interesting for the machinery and pharmaceutical industries. As always, it is necessary to negotiate a clever agreement.
Für die Landwirtschaft wird das schwierig. Andererseits ist es für die Maschinen- und Pharmaindustrie sehr interessant. Wie immer, gilt es ein geschicktes Abkommen auszuhandeln.
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
Swiss companies should also assume their responsibilities abroad, insofar as the local possibilities allow.
Schweizer Firmen sollen auch im Ausland ihre Verantwortung wahrnehmen, soweit die vor Ort geltenen Möglichkeiten es zu lassen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We need tailor-made solutions and our social security systems cannot cope with the full free movement of persons.
Wir brauchen massgeschneiderte Lösungen und die volle Personenfreizügigkeit verkraften unsere Sozialwerke nicht.
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
Our understanding of neutrality must adapt to the changing condition, which we have always done. Moreover, neutrality must not be used to shirk responsibility for actions that are obviously unlawful.
Unser Neutralitätsverständnis muss sich den verändernden Bedingung anpassen, was wir schon immer gemacht haben. Zudem darf die Neutralität nicht benutzt werden, um sich vor der Verantwortung gegenüber offensichtlich rechtwidrigem Handeln zu drücken.
