Bilaterals: twenty-five years of CFC downgrading
Long presented as an intangible pillar of Swiss prosperity, the Federal Certificate of Competence is now undergoing a silent crisis that few dare to name. Behind the reassuring rhetoric about the «value of apprenticeships» lies a starker reality: for a growing proportion of young people, the educational effort is no longer a guarantee of a future in the labour market.
Mass immigration: the lobbies' model against the Swiss
Two million more inhabitants in twenty years. Pensions still under pressure. Skyrocketing rents. Saturated infrastructures. And yet we are still being told that more and more immigration is the solution to all our problems. The FER's argument about a «Switzerland of 10 million» deserves to be taken apart point [...].
Audiovisual licence fee: taking back power or continuing to pay for our own formatting?
Enough of paying to be formatted. For too long, the television licence fee has been presented as an inevitability, an untouchable tax that is beyond democratic debate. Yet behind this compulsory levy lies a costly, ideological system that is out of touch with the people and has gradually replaced information with opinion-forming. On 8 March 2026, the Swiss [...]
Fire safety: when Switzerland abandons excellence for a lower standard
This opinion piece by Souveraineté Suisse is based on detailed information provided by sources inside the process of revising the fire regulations, acting as whistleblowers and with direct knowledge of the work in progress. Switzerland has long been the best in the world when it comes to fire protection. A recognised model, based on [...]
2026: Switzerland is not afraid to grow - it refuses to dissolve
When the same voices that make a living out of ’openness« tell the people that they are afraid of growing up, you have to start by checking who is speaking - and for whom. Under the guise of »anti-fragility’, Raymond Loretan recycles a well-oiled rhetoric: making direct democracy feel guilty, making transfers of sovereignty sacrosanct, and passing the buck [...].
Crans-Montana: a law comes into force 90 minutes before the tragedy - and there are still many grey areas
A tragedy of this magnitude does not tolerate grey areas or approximate accounts. When a tragedy claims dozens of lives, every minute, every word and every previous decision become political and judicial facts in their own right. But in the case of Crans-Montana, a series of factual coincidences - a law that came into force 90 years ago, the [...]
fiat currency: history's most effective weapon of mass destruction
You are repeatedly told that inflation is “temporary”. That debt “is not a problem”. That money creation “supports the economy”. But this is not true. For a century, fiat money has caused more collapses, more silent plunder and more social injustice than all the wars put together. It produces no real wealth, but redistributes poverty [...].
Vaud 2026: continuing social patronage... or regaining control
On 8 March 2026, the canton of Vaud will not be voting for a man. It will be voting for a system. A system that for years has been piling up spending, buying social peace on credit and turning the State into a machine for redistributing... other people's money. Behind the reassuring veneer of rhetoric about “social justice”, a [...]
Crans-Montana: the litmus test for justice
What is happening in Crans-Montana is much more than a local tragedy. When a human disaster of this magnitude occurs, it is not only the truth of the facts that is expected, but the absolute clarity of justice. Yet from the outset, procedural decisions, institutional blunders and lack of action have raised questions. Not out of suspicion [...]
Crans-Montana: victims kept at a distance
Forty dead. Dozens seriously injured. In a tragedy of this magnitude, justice has no right to be approximate. But what is taking shape today in Crans-Montana is deeply troubling: victims excluded from the hearings, procedural choices challenged, an investigation under stress. When the families feel that they are being kept at a distance [...]
