Welfare state & family
Raise the retirement age to 67
Do you support an increase in the retirement age (e.g., to 67)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Pensions for married couples
For married couples, the pension is currently limited to 150% of the maximum individual AHV pension (capping). Should this limit be eliminated?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Des plafonds devraient être mis en place pour les salaires, pas pour l'AVS qui ne permet pas de vivre dignement à elle seule. En effet, comment justifier décemment qu'un grand patron gagne des centaines de fois plus que l'employé le moins payé de son entreprise ? Cela ne devrait pas dépasser 3x, par ex. minimum de 4'000.- et maximum de 16'000.-.
Reduce LPP pensions
As part of the reform of the BVG (occupational pension plan), pensions are to be reduced (lowering the minimum conversion rate from 6.8% to 6%). Are you in favor of this measure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Extend parental leave
Should paid parental leave be increased beyond today's 14 weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of paternity leave? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Oui, mais cette mesure doit être accompagnée d'une politique de rénovation massive des bâtiments pour limiter la pression sur les limites planétaires, ainsi que de l'expropriation des grands promoteurs immobiliers (cf. la tentative berlinoise). A terme, je souhaite l'abolition de la propriété (ici foncière) exclusivement lucrative.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
L'impôt sur le sucre est un impôt sur la consommation. De tels impôts frappent les personnes à faible revenu de manière disproportionnée et sont par conséquent antisociaux. La réduction de la teneur en sucre des aliments peut être encouragée par d'autres mesures.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Il faudra néanmoins davantage considérer la santé mentale de la population, en particulier celle des jeunes.
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
L'approvisionnement de la population en services de santé est une responsabilité de la Confédération. La composition actuelle du Parlement a pour conséquence que les partis de droite imposent des coupes budgétaires dans ce domaine également. Malheureusement, la plupart des cantons mènent également une politique de santé néolibérale. Une planification à l'échelle fédérale est une bonne idée, mais il faut plus de ressources (et éventuellement des possibilités pour les cantons de financer des resso
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Equal opportunities in education
Should the state be more committed to equal educational opportunities (e.g., through subsidized remedial courses for students from low-income families)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Immigration & integration
Make naturalization requirements more flexible
Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Toutes les personnes domiciliées en Suisse devraient obtenir automatiquement la nationalité́ suisse après 5 ans.
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
Oui, mais cela ne doit pas être instrumentalisé par le patronat pour exercer une pression sur les salaires et les conditions de travail.
Asylum procedures outside Europe
Do you support efforts to house asylum seekers in centers outside Europe during the asylum procedure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Voting rights for foreigners
Should foreign nationals who have lived in Switzerland for at least ten years be granted the right to vote and stand for election at the municipal level?

Ou même après un an.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Ou l'abolition de la mention de genre à l'état civil.
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
Baisser l'impôt fédéral direct, qui est progressif, ne ferait qu'enrichir les riches et affaiblir le service public. Je suis au contraire favorable à une hausse massive d'impôts sur les revenus du capital (dividendes, loyers perçus, etc.), aujourd'hui moins taxés que les revenus du travail (salaires).
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Oui, avec un taux très progressif.

|---|---|---|---|
Economy & labour
Introduce a national minimum wage of CHF 4,000
Are you in favor of introducing a minimum wage of CHF 4,000 for all full-time employees?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Regulate the financial sector more strictly
Do you support stricter regulations for the financial sector (e.g., stricter capital requirements for banks, ban on bonuses)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Il faut par ailleurs interdire tout investissement qui va clairement à l'encontre des besoins humains et des limites planétaires.
Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità
Should private households be free to choose their electricity supplier (complete liberalization of the electricity market)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Ce ne sont pas les règles de construction mais la propriété foncière qui est responsable des loyers élevés et de la pénurie de logement. Par ailleurs, il faut veiller à ce que les logements existants soient abordables (abolition de la propriété foncière lucrative pour une propriété d'usage) et à ce que l'on n'en construise pas simplement toujours de nouveaux (rénovation).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Le trafic automobile doit au contraire être drastiquement réduit si l'on veut décemment lutter contre le dérèglement climatique. Il faut notamment repenser le travail pour que chaque personne puisse exercer une activité qui fasse sens pour elle et qui soit proche de son lieu de vie. Par ailleurs, une baisse drastique du temps de travail (25h/semaine) permettrait de diminuer les déplacements.
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
Cela est même nécessaire d'ici 2030 ! Parallèlement, un développement massif des transports public est nécessaire, en garantissant que ceux-ci soient abordables, afin de permettre un transfert modal socialement juste.
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
Ne pas avoir le courage d'interdire les activités économiques qui exercent une pression sandaleuse sur les limites planétaires (déjà largement dépassées), c'est se priver définitivement d'un avenir sûr dans lequel nous pouvons continuer à mener nos existences librement.
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
La politique énergétique (et climatique) doit avant tout viser la décroissance économique pour ne pas dégrader davantage l'environnement.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Introduce progressive electricity tariffs

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Oui, mais il faut que des moyens financiers conséquents ainsi qu'une période de transition suffisante soient mis à disposition des exploitations agricoles afin de leur permettre de réaliser leur transitions.
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
Je suis également pour une baisse drastique de la production de viande. Cela commence par subventionner davantage la vente de produits végétaux que celle de produits issus de l'élevage, contrairement à aujourd'hui (cf. alliance climatique).
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
Cela doit être une considération centrale sur l'ensemble du territoire.
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
Le développement des low-techs (= technologies utiles, accessibles et durables) est urgent.
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
Je ne suis pas convaincu de l'utilité.
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
Je suis pour un démantèlement des GAFAM et autres méga plateformes au profit d'un service public numérique. Cela pourrait être un projet développé au niveau européen compte tenu de l'ampleur de la tâche.
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
Je suis absolument contre cette initiative car elle s'attaque aux médias publics ainsi qu'à l'ensemble de l'offre culturelle et sportive suisse, qui sont pour moi garants d'une certaine cohésion sociale (cf. les médias français dominés par l'extrême droite). Toutefois, il serait bien de repenser le système de redevance TV et radio, car celui-ci est aujourd'hui socialement injuste.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending
Should it be possible to hold a referendum on federal spending above a certain amount (optional financial referendum)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Oui, malgré le risque que la droite l'utilise pour s'attaquer à l'Etat social et aux mesures pour le climat.
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?

|---|---|---|---|
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics

Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Certains secteurs comme le numérique ou les réserves de ressources naturelles doivent être organisés à un niveau supranational à mon sens. Je suis néanmoins contre une adhésion à l'UE néolibérale telle qu'elle existe aujourd'hui.
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
Je suis contre tout accord de libre-échange intercontinental pour des raisons écologique et décoloniales.

|---|---|---|---|
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
A ce sujet, la totalité des avoirs d'oligarques russes en Suisse doit être expropriée. Cet argent pourra être utilisé pour réduire l'augmentation des coûts de l'énergie pour les ménages, pour financer des politiques climatiques ou pour la reconstruction de l'Ukraine, comme le revendique le GSsA.

Ma réponse est valable si par sécurité on entent la police, qui est une institution qui perpétue les inégalités et les discriminations. Si par sécurité publique on entend par exemple que des mesures préventives soient prises contre les violences sexuelles, alors il faudrait investir beaucoup plus. Par ailleurs, la sécurité est avant tout sociale : avoir un toit sur la tête, manger à sa faim, recevoir des soins, etc.

Je suis pour la retraite à 60 ans pour toutes et tous. Et je préciserais que les personnes qui passent à la retraite ne sont pas soudainement improductives, bien au contraire : l'économie capitaliste s'effondrerait sans la masse de travail effectué de façon non-rémunérée et largement pris en charge par les personnes âgées (garde, associatif, etc.).
