“The EU is satisfied with the result”
Brussels correspondent Michael Rauchstein says that people in Brussels are satisfied with the outcome of the “limitation initiative”. “The economic commissioner Paolo Gentiloni has expressed himself in this direction through Twitter,” he says.
Andreas Schwab, responsible for EU-Swiss relations, also sent out a press release saying that he was taking note of the outcome with positive sentiments. The result shows that the Swiss population is interested in greater and closer cooperation with the EU, Schwab added.
“In Brussels, this initiative was expected to be rejected,” Rauchstein said. A yes would have had a huge impact on the EU-Switzerland bilateral relationship.

Burkart: “It’s about the future of the army”
As the thriller about the acquisition of fighter jets continues, the FDP Thierry Burkart Council of States believes that if there is a no, there will be a fundamental discussion about the military. neutrality continues, which can then no longer be guaranteed. It’s about the future of the military. How is this supposed to fulfill the constitutional mandate of armed neutrality in the future? That is more than questioned if there is a no. “SP National Councilor Priska Seiler-Graf does not see the vote as a fundamental discussion about the air force and the military. However, negative votes should trigger a discussion:” You have to take your opponents seriously and examine what led so many to vote against it. “
Simon Ammann “flies” past city hall
Ski jumper Simon Amman missed the Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann local council on the first vote. He had run as a non-partisan. In the city council elections, Simon Ammann reached the seventh place with 209 votes. The absolute majority was 603 votes and only one of the nine candidates achieved it. This means that there will be a second vote for the two still vacant seats on the city council.
Disappointment in the SVP field
The clear no to the “limitation initiative” makes the SVP hang its head.
Political scientist Golder sees a clear trend in hunting law
Political scientist Lukas Golder of gfs.bern assumes that the hunting law will be rejected: “In the end, I think it is enough. He justified it with the fact that the counts of several cantons and cities would still be missing, in which a large non-proportion is expected. “This is the urban pattern that triumphs over the rural one. But even in Graubünden and Valais, a relatively large number of negative votes were cast. “
The “Limitation Initiative” Definitely Failed
Now it is written in black and white: The initiative against the free movement of people is rejected. The request fails due to the number of stands.

Genevans say yes to minimum wage
The electorate of Geneva accepts an initiative that requires a minimum wage of CHF 23 per hour. 58.2 percent of the population said yes to the union initiative.
High voter turnout in “Super Sunday”
According to SRG’s extrapolation, the turnout is 58 percent. That would be the highest value since 2016. Lukas Golder from gfs.bern speaks of a “sensational turnout”. That would be the second highest turnout since 2010. Only the vote in February 2016, when the vote on the enforcement initiative and the Gotthard road tunnel, among other things, had a higher value.

City of Bern accepts disclosure of party funding
A clear result from the city of Bern: Bern is the first Swiss city to have regulations on party financing. Those who have the right to vote passed the so-called transparency bill with 88 percent of the vote in favor.
The parties represented in the city parliament and all candidates are required to disclose their funding every year. The voting and election committees are also responsible. The information is verified by the city. In the case of violations, fines of up to CHF 5,000 can be imposed.
Fighter Jet Procurement Officer: “We can’t just get back to work now”
Officers Society President Stefan Holenstein is surprised by the shaky game about new fighter jets. “This is completely unexpected, we would have expected a much clearer result,” says Holenstein. The arguments for the acquisition of fighter jets could not be presented to the population in the desired density, so Holenstein. “The six billion francs has obviously spilled out of the population.” Apparently many citizens would have found this to be too high in view of the crown crisis. But Holenstein is also confident: “I hope we can still turn it around.”
Children’s deductions: “He is not surprisingly clear”
SRF Editor Gaudenz Wacker’s Review: Tax changes often have a hard time voting, even today. The no to higher child deductions is surprisingly clear. SVP, FDP, CVP, BDP and EVP recommended a yes. Together, these parties have significantly more than 50 percent of the vote. Based on extrapolation, 65 percent now say no. Obviously, many commoners also voted against it, in a referendum held by the SP.
Parliament had made the bill vulnerable: It turned a $ 10 million bill for higher deductions in childcare costs into a $ 380 million bill for all families who pay federal taxes, with deductions for families as well. who take care of their children. This also led some commoners to the enemy camp. Even Finance Minister Ueli Maurer (SVP) made no secret of the fact that he did not like this kind of increase in tax deductions. A new edition of the previous Federal Council proposal can now win a majority in parliament – higher deductions only on costs of care.
Gaudenz Wacker is the editor of SRF Bundeshaus. He studied in Basel and before joining SRF he worked at the University of Basel and for local media.

Lucerne residents want more transparency in apartment rentals
In the canton of Lucerne, landlords must inform new tenants about the previous rental. A corresponding initiative of the tenants association was accepted very slightly with a 50.11 percent of votes in favor. The popular initiative has no direct impact because the mandatory form only has to be waived if, on average, less than 1.5 percent of the canton’s departments are vacant.
The Regula Rytz Fighter Plane Opponent: “A Sensation”
The result of the new fighter jets is a respectable success for opponents of the 6 billion franc acquisition. National Green Advisor Regula Rytz speaks of a “sensation.” Although the polls had predicted clear approval, the result is now very close.
“It is a great success for the Greens and the SP, and a great vote of no confidence for Federal Councilor Viola Amherd and the parties that had campaigned for the hiring.” The campaign showed that Switzerland’s security is not primarily dependent on fighter jets. “Switzerland wants you to invest where it is needed, especially in the fight against the climate crisis,” Rytz said.
Golder on the hunting law “That could tip”
Political scientist Lukas Golder explains the slight trend towards no in the Hunting Law as follows: “We are increasingly confident in urban patterns and the critical values of the canton of Bern are now among them. This is a very important canton. “There are a lot of non-stocks there. The decision is still on the razor’s edge, but the small trend towards does not point towards it:” That could tip.
Everything is still open about fighter jets and hunting law.
