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
Of course, we will support measures to reduce the health insurance premium bill for households. But it's the way the system works that needs to change. We'd like to see the creation of a single, public health insurance fund that operates on the AVS model.
Bien sûr, nous soutiendrons des mesures permettant d'alléger la facture des primes d'assurance maladie pour les ménages. Cependant c'est le fonctionnement du système qu'il faut changer. Nous souhaitons la création d'une caisse unique, publique et qui fonctionne sur le modèle de l'AVS.
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
It's an aberration that no longer needs to be. What's more, AHV pensions are currently far too low to live in dignity, which is their very purpose. It would be possible to massively increase AHV pensions if we stopped with the unfair and unequal 2nd pillar system. By integrating the 2nd pillar into the AVS, we could granatir proper pensions for all.
C'est une aberration qui n'a plus lieu d'être. Par ailleurs la rente AVS est actuellement beaucoup trop basse pour vivre dignement, ce qui est pourtant son but. Il serait possible d'augmenter massivement les rentes AVS si nous arrêtions avec le système du 2ème pilier, injustes et inégalitaires. En intégrant le 2ème pilier à l'AVS, nous pourrions granatir des rentes correctes pour toutes et tous.
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
We will defend the maintenance of pensions, because lower wages and pensions are not an option. On the other hand, we want to put an end to the unjust and dangerously volatile 2nd pillar. Integrating 2nd pillar assets and AHV contributions would enable us to finance pensions of between 4,000 and 8,000 francs per person without any problems.
Nous défendrons le maintien des rentes car la baisse des salaires et des rentes n'est pas une option. Par contre nous souhaitons mettre fin au 2ème pilier qui est injuste et dangereusement volatile. Intégrer la fortune du 2ème pilier et les cotisations à l'AVS nous permettrait de financer sans problème des rentes entre 4000 et 8000 frs par personne.
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
There is clear evidence that long, compulsory leave for both parents reduces inequalities in childcare and household chores. What's more, the crèche system in Switzerland is currently so deficient that parents need more leeway to manage their child's first year of life. We support the idea of 38 weeks' leave for both parents, but feel that such leave should cover a full year.
Il est clairement démontré qu'un congé long et obligatoire pour les deux parents permet de réduire les inégalités de prises en charge des enfants et des tâches ménagères. De plus, le système de crèche est actuellement tellement déficiant en Suisse que les parents ont besoins de plus de marge de manoeuvre pour gérer la première année de vie de leur enfant. Nous soutenons le projet de 38 semaines pour les deux parents, mais nous estimons qu'un tel congé devrait couvrir une année entière.
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
Above all, it must combat the speculation that has been putting pressure on rents for years. In Switzerland, and particularly in certain regions, there is a crying shortage of affordable housing. A policy of land acquisition and housing construction by public authorities is therefore needed to control rents. The Confederation must legislate on rent control to limit investors' appetites and lower household bills.
Elle doit surtout lutter contre la spéculation qui met la pression sur les loyers depuis des années. En Suisse et plus particulièrement dans certaines régions, la pénurie de logement abordable est criant. Il faut donc une politique d'acquisition de terrain et de construction de logements par les collectivités publiques afin de contrôler les loyers. La Confédération doit légiférer sur un contrôle des loyers afin de limiter les appétits des investisseurs et de baisser la factures des ménages.
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
Although I'm in favor of vaccination and information campaigns on the subject, it seems to me that compulsory vaccination would tend to be counterproductive.
Bien que favorable à la vaccination et à des campagnes d'information sur le sujet, il me semble que l'obligation vaccinale aurait tendance à être contreproductive.
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
Yes, because sugar is a scourge. Above all, however, we need stricter rules to control the production of the food industry. A ban on products that are too harmful to health should also be considered.
Oui car le sucre est un fléau. Cependant , il faut surtout des règles plus stricts pour encadrer la production de l'industrie agro-alimentaire. L'interdiction des produits trop néfastes pour la santé doit également être envisagée.
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
Once again, it's not up to the insured to foot the bill for a dysfunctional system. Employers are one of the players who are totally unaffected by the need to contribute to healthcare costs. Yet we spend most of our lives working, sometimes to the detriment of our health. We therefore propose a single health insurance fund, like the AVS, with equal contributions.
Là encore ce n'est pas aux assuré.e.s de payer la facture d'un système qui dysfonctionne. Un des acteurs qui échappe totalement à une participation aux frais de santé sont les employeurs. Pourtant, nous passons l'essentiel de notre vie à travailler, parfois au détriment de notre santé. Nous proposons donc une caisse unique foctionneant comme l'AVS, avec des cotisations paritaires.
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
Above all, the Federal Council needs to protect the people of Switzerland, not just the companies. Employees, the self-employed, undeclared workers, etc. have been the big losers in the crisis, while the big companies have grown richer.
Il faut surtout que le Conseil fédéral protège les habitant.e.s de Suisse et non pas seulement les entreprises. Les salarié.e.s, les indépendant.e.s, les travailleur-euses au noir etc ont été les grands perdants de la crise alors que les grandes entrperises se sont enrichies.
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
The COVID crisis demonstrated the weakness of hosiptal planning and its decentralized nature. In addition to coordination problems, it is also a question of being able to monitor public policies (no statistics).
La crise COVID a montré la faiblesse de la planification hosiptalière et de son caractère décentralisé. Outre les problèmes de coordination, il en va aussi de pouvoir assurer des suivis des politiques publiques (statistiques absentes).
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
But to achieve this, we need to give ourselves the means. It's not possible to do this with 24 pupils per class. So we need to increase the resources for education to make this a reality.
Mais pour réaliser cela, il faut s'en donner les moyens. Ce n'est pas possible de faire cela avec 24 élèves par classe. Il faut donc augmenter les moyens pour l'éducation afin de rendre cette possibilité effective.
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
This is taking the problem in the wrong direction. We welcome the fact that more young people are able to train, but above all we need to create additional places in higher education. What's more, we need to adapt the Maturité curriculum to bring it into line with today's world.
C'est prendre le problème dans le mauvais sens. Il faut saluer que plus de jeunes puissent se former, mais surtout il faut créer des places supplémentaires dans les hautes-écoles. De plus, il faut adapter le programme de la maturité pour qu'il soit en phase avec le monde actuel.
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
Of course, it is necessary to fight against inequalities at school. First and foremost, this means developing high-quality pre-school care accessible to all children. If it is of good quality, it will considerably reduce inequalities when children start school. Increasing resources to reduce class sizes is also a priority, and will help to improve individual pupil monitoring.
Bien entendu il est nécessaire de lutter contre les inégalités à l'école. Ceci passe en premier lieu par un développement d'un accueil pré-scolaire de qualité accessible à tous les enfants. Celui-ci, s'il est de bonne qualité, réduit consiédrablement les inégalités lors de l'entrée à l'école. L'augmentation des moyens afin d'avoir moins d'élèves par classe est aussi une priorité qui permettra d'améliorer le suivi individuel des élèves.
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
yes, drastically. We also need to do away with the conditions attached to C permits, which are deeply unfair and prevent some people from becoming naturalized. People would simply have to prove a certain number of years' residence. At the same time, we need to introduce droit du sol.
oui drastiquement. Il faut aussi supprimer les conditions liées au permis C qui sont profondément injustes et qui emêcghent certaines personnes de se naturaliser . Les gens devrait simplement justifier d' un nombre d'années de séjour. Parallèlement, il faut aussi introduire le droit du sol.
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
But also unskilled workers. In concrete terms, we should negotiate freedom of movement and establishment with as many countries as possible, and even generalize it.
Mais aussi non-qualifiées. Concrètement, nous devrions négocier une liberté de circulation et d'établissement avec le plus de pays possible, voire la généraliser.
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
Asylum is a right, and people should be able to come to Switzerland and lodge their applications there. Generally speaking, we are opposed to the construction of a Fortress Europe that no longer wishes to welcome people. Moreover, the delegation of these tasks to countries that do not respect human rights is particularly shocking.
L'asile est un droit et les gens doivent pouvoir venir jusqu'en Suisse et déposer leur demande en Suisse. De manière générale, nous sommes opposés à la construction d'une Europe Forteresse qui ne souhaite accueillir plus personnes. De plus la délégation de ces tâches à des pays qui ne respectent pas les droits humains est particulièrement choquante.
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
and cantonal. Moreover, 8 years is sufficient, as the Geneva experience has shown.
et cantonal. Par ailleurs 8 ans suiffisent comme l'a montré l'expérience genevoise.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Legalization and decriminalization not only make it possible to decriminalize addicts, but also to manage the quality of products in circulation and combat drug trafficking.
La légalisation et la dépénalisation permettent non seulement de décriminaliser les personnes dépendantes, mais aussi de gérer la qualité des produits qui circulent et de lutter contre le trafic de drogue.
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
Yes, everyone must be free to leave in dignity and legally.
Oui, chacun doit être libre de pouvoir partir dans la dignité et légalement.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, there needs to be an option for people who don't fit into either of these two categories.
oui il faut une possibilité pour les personnes qui ne se reconnaissent ni dans l'un ni dans l'autre.
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
Obviously, this is a fundamental principle of equality.
Evidemment, il s'agit d'un principe d'égalité fondamental.
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
While lower taxes for the most vulnerable are desirable, taxes on the wealthiest must be increased. Companies, shareholders and the very wealthy contribute too little to the effort to provide services to the population. We therefore need to raise taxes for these categories to achieve a better redistribution of wealth.
Si une baisse d'impôt pour les personnes les plus vulnérables est souhaitable, il faut apr contre augmenter les impôts des plus fortunées. Les entreprises, les actionnaires et les grosses fortunes participent trop peu à l'effort pour assurer les prestations à la population. Il faut donc augmenter les impôts pour ces catégories afin d'avoir une meilleure redistribution des richesses.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The notion of married couples is an outdated one. Many couples live together for years without being married.
La notion de couples mariés est une notion dépassée. De très nombreux couples vivent ensemble des années sans être mariés.
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
Inheritance is an important vector in the reproduction of social inequalities. A tax would correct this.
La succession est un vecteur important de la reproduction des inégalités sociales. Un impôt permettrait de corriger cela.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes to the Geneva model. This is a genuine measure to combat poverty and wage dumping. Everyone should be able to make a decent living from 100% work. In fact, we launched the first initiative on this subject.
Oui sur le modèle genevois. Cette mesure est une véritable mesure de lutte contre la pauvreté et contre le dumping salarial. Chacun.e devrait pouvoir vivre dignement d'un travail à 100%. nous avons d'ailleurs lancer la première initiative sur ce sujet.
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
This means increasing public and democratic control over the financial sector. In other words, we should nationalize the financial system.
Cela passe notamment par un accroissement du contrôle publique et démocratique sur le secteur financier. En d'autres termes, nous devrions nationaliser le système financier.
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
We fought the first wave of electricity market liberalization with a referendum. Electricity is a basic necessity that must be state-controlled, and its price must be socially fair.
Nous avons combattu la première vague de libéralisation du marché de l'électricité en lançant le référendum. L'électricité est un bien de première nécessité qui doit être sous contrôle étatique et son prix doit être socialement juste.
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 problem is that housing construction is essentially entrusted to the private sector, which is only interested in making a profit. This shortage shows that the state must intervene, build and control rents and prices to protect the population.
Le problème est que la construction de logement est essentiellement confiée au secteur privé qui ne cherche qu'à faire du profit. Cette pénurie montre que l'état doit intevenir, construire et contôler les loyers et les prix afin de protéger la population.
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
We need systematic wage controls and much more serious sanctions. To this end, companies should provide (anaonymously and transparently) their payroll records.
Il faut un contrôle systématique des salaires et des sanctions beaucoup plus sérieuses. Pour cela, les entreprises devraient fournir (de manière anaonyme et transparente) le registre de leurs salaires.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We must do everything we can to reduce the use of individual motorized vehicles, in particular by improving public transport services and making them free of charge.
Nous ne devons plus développer la route, ce qui fait augmenter le trafic motorisé, mais tout faire pour diminuer l'utilisation des véhicules individuels motorisés, notamment en améliorant l'offre de transports publics et en la rendant gratuite.
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
As a general rule, we need to move away from fossil fuels.
De manière générale il faut renoncer aux énergies fossiles.
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 greater democratic control of these issues. We need a public service to combat global warming, ambitious renovation policies, bans on short plane journeys and the development of free public transport. In short, we need a genuine policy backed by a major financial effort.
Il faut miser sur un plus grand contrôle démocratique de ces questions. Conrètement il faut un service public de lutte contre le réchauffement climatique, des politiques de rénovations ambitieuses, des interdictions des petits trajets en avion, le développement de transports publics gratuits. Bref, il faut une véritable politique soutenue par un effort financier important.
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
There are many ways to promote renewable energies without weakening environmental protection. What we need is an overall reflection on the quantity of energy we need, to do what? to produce what?
Il existe de nombreux moyens de favoriser les énergies renouvelables sans avoir à affaiblir la protection de l'environnement. Il faudrait uen réflexion d'ensemble sur la quantité d'énergie dont nous avons besoin , pour faire quoi? pour produire quoi?
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
Absolutely not. It's dangerous and harmful. We need to develop alternatives and ration energy.
Aboslument pas. C'est dangereux et nocifs. Nous devons élaborer des alternatives et aussi rationner l'énergie.
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 goes without saying that access to benefits must be possible throughout the country.
Evidemment, l'accès aux prestations doit être possible sur tout le territoire.
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
But on condition that a minimum free share is also provided. Minimum consumption should be free, and excessive use punished by progressive pricing.
Mais à condition aussi de grantir une part minimale gratuite. La consommation minimale devrait être gratuite et l'usage excessif sanctionné par une progressivité des prix.
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 protection of species, but more generally of biodiversity, must be strengthened
la protection des espèces, mais plus généralement de la biodiversité doivent être renforcées
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Above all, we need to ensure that farmers are able to provide extensive ecological services and still survive. Simply making direct payments conditional is not enough, and could have deleterious effects on farms.
Il faut surtout s'assurer que les agriculteur-trice-s soient en mesure de fournir des prestations écologiques étendues tout en pouvant survivre. Le seul fait de conditionner les paiements directs n'est pas suffisant et pourraient avoir des effets délétères sur les exploitations.
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 |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
we need to get away from this hyper-consumption society and try to produce to cover real needs as efficiently as possible.

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 |

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
it is necessary to legislate on these issues and on data management.
il est nécessaire de légiférer sur ces questions et sur la gestion des données.
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
Public service television and radio should be financed through taxation, which is much fairer than a licence fee (proportional to income). What's more, there's no reason to exempt the companies that also benefit from this public service.
Le service public de la télévision et de la rado devrait être financer à travers l'impôt qui est beaucoup plus juste qu'une redevance (proportionnel au revenu). De plus, il n'y a aucun raison d'exonérer les entreprises qui bénéficient aussi de ce service public.
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 are in favor of a maximum extension of democratic rights for young people and foreigners alike. All Swiss citizens should have a say in how we organize this country.
Nous sommes en faveur d'une extension maximum des droits démocratiques qu'il s'agisse des jeunes ou des étranger-ères. L'ensemble des habitant.e.s de la Suisse devraient pouvoir se prononcer sur la manière dont nous organisons ce pays.
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)?

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 are in favor of abolishing the army and reinforcing civilian service, which would save several billion euros a year.
Nous sommes pour la suppression de l'armée et le renforcement du service civil ce qui économiserait plusieurs milliards de dépenses par année.
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
Not only must we abolish the army, we must not align ourselves with NATO's warmongering policy, which protects US imperialist interests.
Non seulement nous devons supprimer l'armée, mais nous ne devons pas nous aligner sur la politique belliciste de l'OTAN qui protège les intérêts impérialistes des USA.
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

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
Schengen-related freedom of movement has been a major improvement. In particular, it has led to better protection for employees, notably by putting an end to the particularly terrible status of seasonal workers. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of human rights, and we should stop participating in the Dublin agreement.
La libre circulation liée à Schengen a été une amélioration importante. Ceci a notamment permis de mieux protéger les salarié.e.s notamment en mettant fin au statut de saisonnier particulièrement terrible. Pourtant, il a y des améliorations à apporter e matière de droit des personnes et nous devrions par contre arrêter de participer à l'accord de Dublin.
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
However, it's a question of clearly defining which relationships. We are in favor of working together to better protect employees, to better redistribute wealth and to better combat global warming. We don't want a neoliberal Europe that undermines social protection, privatizes public services and has authoritarian tendencies.
Cependant, il s'agit de bien définir quelles relations. Nous sommes pour une collaboration pour mieux protéger les salarié.e.s, pour mieux redistribuer les richesses, pour mieux lutter contre le réchauffement climatique. Nous ne voulons pas d'une Europe néolibérale qui casse la protection sociale, qui privatise les sercies publics et qui connait des dérives autoritaires.
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
As a general rule, these agreements only serve to increase profits and circumvent the law, and in no way benefit the people of Switzerland.
Ces accords, en règle genérale, ne servent que l'augmentation des profits, le contournement des lois et en aucun cas la prospérité des habitant.e.s de Suisse.
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
We supported the initiative for responsible multinationals. As a reminder, some companies enrich themselves on the back of the exploitation of individuals, adults or children, on the war trade, on the theft and expropriation of peasants, and so on.
Nous avons soutenus l'initiative pour des multinationales responsables. Pour rappel, certaines entreprises s'enrichissent sur le dos de l'exploitation des individus, adultes ou enfants, sur le commerce de la guerre, sur le vol et l'expropriation des paysan.ne.s, etc
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
No. Freedom of movement is the main advantage of these agreements, because it allows a whole series of employees to escape from precariousness and exploitation.
Non. La liberté de circulation est le principal avantage de ces accords parce qu'il permet de sortir de la précarité et de l'exploitation toute une série de salairé.e.s.

Comment
It depends on what the alternative is. If it's to entrust them to poor-quality childcare, then the answer is yes. But if we're developing good-quality pre-school care, then I think the answer is no.
Cela dépend de quelle est l'alternaive. Si c'est pour les confier à un accueil de mauvaise qualité alors la réponse est oui. Mais si nous développons un accueil préscolaire de bonne qualité alors je pense que c'est non.

Comment
We fought against this increase by taking part in the referenda (PV2020 and AVS21) in which we were heavily involved. What's needed instead is a reduction in working hours and a lowering of the retirement age.
Nous avons combattu cette augmentation en participant aux des référendums (PV2020 et AVS21) dans lesquels nous nous sommes beaucoup investis. Il faudrait au contraire une diminution du temps de travail et un abaissement de l'âge de la retraite.
