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
Not necessary if a single fund is set up. A single health insurer will have lower operating costs, greater risk predictability and no need to build up reserves to survive. As with pension funds, private health insurance reserves are also melting like snow in the face of inflation.
Pas nécessaire si une caisse unique est constituée. Une caisse maladie unique aura un coût de fonctionnement moindre, une prévisibilité des risques accrue et n'a pas besoin de constituer des réserves pour survivre. Comme pour les caisses de pension, les réserves des caisses maladie privées fondent elles-aussi comme neige au soleil face à l'inflation.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 deterioration in pension levels is caused by the capitalization system, which has not worked in any country: here in Switzerland, it's the 2nd pillar. In 2010, pensions represented 60% of final salary. By 2040, experts predict that pensions will represent just 40% of final salary. The deterioration is mainly due to inflation, which is melting fund reserves like snow in the sun. We must therefore abolish the second pillar and extend the AVS.
La déterioration du montant des rentes est causée par le système de capitalisation qui n'a fonctionné dans aucun pays: chez nous en Suisse, il s'agit du 2e pilier. En 2010, les rentes représentaient 60% du dernier salaire. En 2040, les experts prévoient que les rentes ne représenteront que 40% du dernier salaire. La déterioration est surtout due à l'inflation qui fait fondre comme neige au soleil les réserves des caisses. Par conséquent il faut abolir le deuxième pilier et étendre l'AVS.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Public housing does not necessarily target the most disadvantaged people, even though they are more numerous. On the other hand, the expansive monetary policy of the last 30 years has resulted in excessive concreting of land. Building again?
Les logements d'utilité publique ne visent pas forcément les personnes les plus défavorisées, ces dernières sont pourtant plus nombreuses. D'autre part, la politique monétaire expansive de ces 30 dernières années a eu pour conséquence un bétonnage excessif des sols. Encore construire ?
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
Yes, as long as vaccines do not contain excessive amounts of aliminum salts, which can have very negative side-effects such as muscle and joint pain, chronic exhaustion, sleep disorders and neuro-cognitive problems.
Oui, à condition que les vaccins ne comportent pas ou pas en quantité excessive de sels d'aliminum qui peuvent avoir des effets secondaires très négatifs comme douleurs musculaires et articulaires, épuisement chronique, troubles du sommeil et troubles neuro-cognitifs.
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
Excessive use should simply be prohibited.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A single fund must be set up.
Il faut instituer une caisse unique.
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
No, but the Federal Council must not pass on the cost to citizens and companies, even partially.
Non, mais le Conseil fédéral ne doit pas en faire supporter le coût aux citoyens et aux entreprises, même partiellement.
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 pandemic has shown that national coordination may be necessary.
La pandémie a révélé qu'une coordination nationale peut s'avérer nécessaire.
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
Inclusion is to be encouraged, even if it means a greater degree of acceptance on the part of students and teachers.
L'inclusion doit être encouragée, même si elle implique un degré d'acceptation plus important des élèves et des enseignants.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The increasing complexity of society demands it.
La complexification de la société l'exige.
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
This is part of the Citizen Pact program.
Cela figure dans le programme du Pacte citoyen.
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
We need to reduce residence times, which are still too long.
Il faut réduire les délais de résidence qui restent trop longs.
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
The quota must be adapted to the needs of the economy.
Le contingent doit être adapté aux besoins de l'économie.
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
The best immigration policy is to anticipate potential conflicts. Mass immigration is always the consequence of conflicts provoked by the West, including in Ukraine.
La meilleure politique d'immigration consiste à anticiper les conflits éventuels. L'immigration massive est toujours la conséquence des conflits provoqués par l'Occident, y compris dans le cas de l'Ukraine.
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
This is a legitimate right and strengthens integration.
C'est un droit légitime et cela renforce l'intégration.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Cannabis users need to be supervised, but consumption must not be liberalized.
Les consommateurs de cannabis doivent être encadrés, mais pour autant sa consommation ne doit pas être libéralisée.
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
In exceptional cases, this can be justified. Of course, a strict legal framework is required.
Dans des cas exceptionnels, cela peut se justifier. Il faut évidemment un encadrement légal strict.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This divides society even further.
Cela divise encore plus la société.
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
The notion of marriage should be reserved for heterosexuals, and the adoption of children is problematic.
La notion de mariage doit être réservé aux hétérosexuels et l'adoption d'enfants pose problème.
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 |

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
However, the amount must be set by the cantons.
Le montant doit toutefois être fixé par les cantons.
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
The banking system needs to be regulated, especially in the area of decarbonization.
Il faut une régulation du système bancaire surtout dans le domaine de la décarbonation.
Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità

Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
First of all, we need to institute a genuine public transport policy, because at present it's too expensive to travel by train, and everything is done to favor automobile transport.
Il faut d'abord une instituer une véritable politique des transports publics car actuellement il est trop onéreux de se déplacer en train et tout est fait pour favoriser le transport automobile.
Ban new registrations of combustion engine vehicles from 2035
Should Switzerland ban the registration of new passenger cars with internal combustion engines starting in 2035?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Electric and hydrogen-powered cars are not alternatives for the moment, as they themselves are polluting.
La voiture électrique et à hydrogène ne sont pas des alternatives pour l'instant, car elles sont elles-même polluantes.
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
Incentives will never be enough to achieve climate targets, and time is running out to reverse the trend, according to climatologists.
Les incitations ne suffiront jamais à atteindre les objectifs climatiques et il ne reste plus de temps pour inverser la tendance d'après les climatologues.
Make the rules for renewable energy less strict

Les sites doivent être trouvés de manière appropriés sans que cela impacte l'environnement ou le paysage.
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
We don't need new power plants, but we do need to continue research in this field.
Il ne faut pas de nouvelles centrales, mais il faut poursuivre la recherche dans le domaine.
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
We need to institute a real public transport policy, because at present, public transport is expensive and everything is done to favor automobile transport.
Il faut instituer une véritable politique des transports publics car actuellement le prix des transports public est onéreux et tout est fait pour favoriser le transport automobile.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Protecting mountain livestock is simply a question of resources. We need to put them on the table.
La protection de l'élevage en montagne n'est qu'une question de moyens. Il faut les mettre sur la table.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Farmers are entitled to a decent income. Organic farming saves us 7 billion euros, which will be used to increase the 1.5 billion euros per year in direct payments to farmers.
L’agriculteur a droit à un revenu décent. Une agriculture biologique nous permet d’économiser 7 milliards qui serviront à augmenter les 1,5 milliards par an de paiements directs aux agriculteurs.
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
Intensive livestock farming increases the risk of pandemics and the massive use of antibiotics, which in turn increases antibiotic resistance. Consumption of low-grade meat poses high health risks, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. The beneficiaries of the current system are not the farmers, but the supermarkets. The Citizens' Pact calls for direct payments to farmers to be doubled.
L’élevage intensif accroit le risque de pandémies et recourt à un usage massif d’antibiotiques ce qui augmente la résistance aux antibiotiques. La consommation de viande bas de gamme présente un risque élevé pour la santé, notamment des maladies cardio-vasculaires, du diabète et de l’obésité. Les bénéficiaires du système actuel ne sont pas les éleveurs, mais la grande distribution. Le Pacte Citoyen prévoit le doublement des paiements directs aux agriculteurs.
National territory available for biodiversity conservation

| 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
Switzerland does not apply the precautionary principle and is content to monitor possible effects on health and the environment. So : - maximum transparency must be demanded, - further independent studies must be ordered, - and, if necessary, a moratorium should be considered.
la Suisse n’applique pas le principe de précaution et se contente de monitorer les effets possibles sur la santé et sur l’environnement. Alors : - la plus grande transparence doit être exigée, - des études complémentaires et indépendantes doivent être ordonnées, - et au besoin un moratoire doit pouvoir être envisagé.
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
With the aim of rationalizing and saving resources, of course.
Dans un but de rationalisation et d'économie de moyens, évidemment.
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
Freedom of expression must be guaranteed, even if it is not absolute. In this respect, greater transparency on algorithms, greater responsibility for content and the fight against misinformation are rather good measures. But when a political system is unable to offer sufficient social or human rights protection, hatred and protest can spread, and greater regulation will not be the effective remedy.
La liberté d'expression doit être garantie même si elle n'est pas absolue. En cela, une plus grande transparence sur les algorithmes, une responsabilité accrue pour les contenus et la lutte contre la désinformations sont plutôt de bonnes mesures. Mais, lorsqu'un système politique n'est pas capable d'offrir suffisamment de protection sociale ou de protection des droits humains, la haine et la contestation peut se propager et une plus grande régulation ne sera pas le remède efficace.
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
The public information service must not be jeopardized.
Le service public de l'information ne doit pas être mis en danger.

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 |

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
The probability of climate collapse is just as high as that of armed conflict. Security must also encompass this kind of threat. We need to reassess our security and military requirements in terms of conventional, biological, chemical and nuclear conflict, as well as other threats, such as climate change.
La probabilité d'un effondrement climatique est tout aussi élevée que celle d'un conflit armé. La sécurité doit aussi englober ce genre de menace. Il est nécessaire de réévaluer les besoins de la sécurité et de l’armée dans l’optique d’un conflit classique, biologique, chimique et nucléaire et dans l'optique d'autres menaces, comme celle climatique par exemple.
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
You can't build safety for some at the expense of safety for others. NATO's expansion into Eastern Europe in recent decades is the root cause of the current conflict in Ukraine. Russia has been calling for a security solution in Europe since at least 1997. NATO is not the expected protection, but the source of conflict.
On ne construit pas la sécurité des uns au détriment de la sécurité des autres. L'extension de l'OTAN à l'Est de l'Europe ces dernières décennies est la cause profonde du conflit actuel en Ukraine. La Russie demande une solution sécuritaire en Europe depuis au moins 1997. L'OTAN n'est pas la protection attendue, mais la source des conflits.
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
In this conflict, talking about peace is taboo. The debate revolves solely around the types of weapons to be sent to counter Russia, as if it were a sordid video war game. Switzerland must respect its neutrality to the letter and offer its good offices for peace talks.
Dans ce conflit, il est tabou de parler de paix. Le débat tourne seulement autour des types d'armements à envoyer pour contrer la Russie, comme s'il s'agissait d'un sordide video war game. La Suisse doit respecter à la lettre sa neutralité et offrir ses bons offices pour des pourparlers de paix.
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?

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
The European Union is a complete failure. We need to preserve our independence, even if it means negotiating sector by sector - that's the price we have to pay to retain our freedom.
L'Union européenne est un échec complet. Il est nécessaire de préserver son indépendance, quitte à négocier secteur par secteur, c'est le prix à payer pour conserver notre liberté.
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

La programme politique du Pacte citoyen en matière agricole est compatible avec un accord de libre-échange avec les Etats-Unis.
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?

Comment
This is an ethical and moral requirement.

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
The Hague Treaty of 1907 stipulates the duty of impartiality and non-intervention in conflicts. There is no possible interpretation of neutrality.
Le traité de la Haye de 1907 stipule le devoir d’impartialité et de non-intervention au conflit. Il n'y a pas d'interprétation possible de la neutralité.

In 1989, the Berlin Wall came down, signifying the end of "communism". In 2023, the Secretary General announces the era of climate collapse and points out that half of humanity lives in countries that are obliged to spend more on servicing their debts than on health and education. These two legacies of ultra-financialized capitalism are an existential threat to humanity.
En 1989 nous avons vécu la chute du mur de Berlin, qui signifiait la fin du "communisme". En 2023, le Secrétaire général annonce l'ère de l'effondrement climatique et indique que la moitié de l'humanité vit dans des pays qui sont obligés de dépenser plus pour le service de leur dette que pour la santé et l'éducation.

Healthy, organic farming costs less than today's agriculture: 14 billion can be saved by lifting customs barriers and renouncing agrochemicals, enough to provide a decent living for farmers by doubling direct payments from 1.5 to 3 billion.
Une agriculture saine et bio coûte moins chère que l'agriculture actuelle : 14 milliards peuvent être économisées en levant les barrières douanières et en renonçant à l'agrochimie, de quoi faire vivre décemment les agriculteurs en doublant les paiements directs, de 1,5 à 3 milliards.

The deterioration in pension levels is caused by the capitalization system, which has not worked in any country: here in Switzerland, it's the 2nd pillar. In 2010, pensions represented 60% of final salary. By 2040, experts predict that pensions will represent just 40% of final salary. The deterioration is mainly due to inflation, which is melting fund reserves like snow in the sun. We must therefore abolish the second pillar and extend the AVS.
La déterioration du montant des rentes est causée par le système de capitalisation qui n'a fonctionné dans aucun pays: chez nous en Suisse, il s'agit du 2e pilier. En 2010, les rentes représentaient 60% du dernier salaire. En 2040, les experts prévoient que les rentes ne représenteront que 40% du dernier salaire. La déterioration est surtout due à l'inflation qui fait fondre comme neige au soleil les réserves des caisses. Par conséquent il faut abolir le deuxième pilier et étendre l'AVS.
