The FDP wants to second-strongest force in Switzerland

At the delegate Assembly in Flawil SG party President Petra Gössi has agreed to the FDP based on the coming election campaign. The party must take the lead in the Central problems of Switzerland's responsibility, she demanded.

the election campaign objective of the FDP was to be the second strongest force in Switzerland, said Gössi, in her opening speech. the options , it gains by politically more readable and for his values stand. Responsibility is one Element that is anchored in the values of the FDP. Responsibility in the policy hot that you have to look for solutions.

one of the Central challenges of Switzerland Gössi the relationship with the EU, and the demographic development, the problems with the pension plan and for rising health care costs. Further, the use of natural resources, as well as the increasing fear of the digitization.

In relation to the EU, the FDP prefer the bilateral approach. Switzerland will benefit from the regulated relations. "This means nothing else than that we want a framework agreement," she said.

reforms in the pension savings

The demographic development, the increase in life expectancy and low interest rates made the pension a big challenge. You should finally do stop, as if there were no problems. The older generations have a responsibility to the younger Generation, here are solutions to.

If the necessary reforms failed, would have to be stuffed in the holes in financing. Then there were cuts in pensions, education, security and infrastructure. Whether to wait is not an Option.

More transparency in health care

In the healthcare sector, there is "the lack of incentives and Indifferenzen". No one dare to ask, for example, the question of how many hospitals need it in Switzerland. Currently, 70 investment in little Switzerland, projects with a total volume of 14 billion Swiss francs on the Run.

One could not remain indifferent when it get to do the farming year, with the effects of climate change such as drought, cold waves and Floods.

You can mitigate the Fears of the population before the digitization, if you show her the opportunities opened by the new technology. Although there is a need for limits. This should, however, allow for developments, without that the connection would be missed.

in Order to achieve their goals in the election campaign, had to close the FDP their ranks. The free sense could not profiling, "when he splits into left - and right-liberal in economic and environmentally liberal, Socially and somewhat liberal," said the party President. Liberal policies mean that "we share the principle of responsibility to each other".
