When the Fed manipulates reality: the hijacked debate
What the Federation of French-speaking Businesses presents as an economic given is, above all, a manufactured and biased narrative. Under the guise of stability and market access, it sugarcoats the real mechanisms and brandishes alarmist scenarios to shut down debate. This is no longer analysis; it is influence. Before deciding, it is time […]
Free movement: an economic illusion? Reiner Eichenberger sounds the alarm
Contrary to the dominant discourse of lobbies and the Federal Council, Reiner Eichenberger breaks a taboo: free movement of people is not an engine of prosperity, but a system whose costs are largely obscured. Behind the flattering figures and promises of openness, his analysis highlights a more nuanced reality — […]
Disinformation or caricature? When Alexandre de Senarclens constructs a biased trial against the Swiss people
What if the real disinformation wasn't where it's being decried? By attacking the 10-million-inhabitant initiative, Alexandre de Senarclens claims to set the facts straight – but his argument relies on a series of shortcuts, approximations, and carefully cultivated fears. Behind the slogans, one reality emerges: the debate deserves [...]
Peter Sloterdijk: When a German philosopher reminds Europe what true democracy is
What if Switzerland isn't an anomaly... but a model that Europe fears? When a leading German philosopher dismantles, with cold lucidity, the democratic illusions of the European Union to better celebrate Swiss vitality, the observation becomes impossible to ignore. Swimming against the tide of official discourse, Peter Sloterdijk recalls a disturbing truth: [...]
Swiss-EU Agreements: When Beat Jans Confuses Political Discourse and Economic Reality
While the Federal Council presents the Swiss-EU agreements as an undeniable success, a careful analysis of the facts, figures... and even its own studies tells a very different story. Behind Beat Jans' reassuring statements, an unguided migration system is emerging, with concentrated benefits and costs largely borne by the [...]
Mass immigration: when the economic elites fabricate a false debate
For years, a section of the economic elite has been trying to impose a simple idea: without mass immigration, Switzerland would collapse. In his recent article, Ivan Slatkine, President of the Fédération des Entreprises Romandes, takes up this alarmist line, describing a Switzerland paralysed, emptied of its workers and condemned to decline. But behind these [...]
Immigration and political calculation: the Swiss taboo
What if Switzerland's rapid demographic transformation was not just an economic consequence, but also a political choice? In the space of twenty years, our country's population has grown from around 7 million to over 9 million, with visible effects on wages, housing and public finances. In the run-up to the vote on 14 [...]
Free movement and mass immigration: the hidden bill crushing the Swiss middle class
What if mass immigration also had a hidden tax bill? For twenty years, the debate on free movement has focused almost exclusively on the needs of the economy. But there is a much more concrete reality that directly affects the middle class: the faster the population grows, the more the state has to spend - and the more the [...]
Migros wants us to eat laboratory food: has the cooperative lost touch with reality?
Migros now wants to produce steaks... without cows. In Kemptthal (ZH), the famous cooperative is supporting a project to grow meat from bovine cells in a laboratory, in partnership with Israeli start-up Aleph Farms and flavour giant Givaudan. Presented as a major food innovation, this initiative is nonetheless raising [...]
Monetary inflation and hidden taxes: the silent mechanism that enriches the State
What if some of our taxes were to rise... without a vote, without tax reform and almost without public debate? Behind the spectacular rise in property, shares and certain assets lies a mechanism that is rarely mentioned: monetary policy can mechanically inflate the tax base. When money is diluted, prices rise - [...].
