Rising rents: Carlo Sommaruga's denial of reality
When the housing debate descends into denial, it becomes urgent to re-establish the facts. Behind reassuring rhetoric and easy scapegoats, one reality stands out: demographic pressure, a scarcity of supply, and structural blockages shape the market far more than slogans. To refuse to see this is to perpetuate the [...]
A single object, a single decision: when Bern tramples on the uniqueness of the matter
This is not a legal detail. It is a democratic fault line. When one attempts to impose indivisible packages on the people, mixing unrelated subjects, one is not simplifying – one is coercing. Behind the technical veneer, a fundamental principle is faltering: the one that guarantees that each citizen votes freely, with a clear conscience, on […]
Immigration and saturation: the facts Philippe Miauton refuses to see
Beneath the guise of an irrefutable demonstration, some lines of reasoning are more akin to a conjuring trick than serious analysis. When words serve to obscure causes rather than illuminate them, it becomes necessary to put facts back at the centre of the debate. Because behind the rather hasty «QEDs», a simple question remains: [...]
Demographic pressures: refusing a hasty retreat and regaining control of our future
Raymond Loretan is deliberately confusing two things: the reality of a demographic challenge... and the manipulation of this challenge to justify any policy. A country that is ageing does not need a permanent demographic leap forward. It needs clarity, responsibility and consistency. Because replacing ageing with artificial demographic growth and [...]
Sloterdijk: Switzerland, living proof that a sovereign democracy works against the illusions of the EU
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. Against the grain of official discourse, Peter Sloterdijk recalls a disturbing truth: Switzerland is not a case to be corrected, but living proof that another way [...]
Deadly danger in Switzerland: economic lobbies try to emasculate institutions
They advance incognito, speaking of ’adaptation«, »legal certainty«, and »economic necessity«. In reality, a silent shift is being prepared: a transfer of sovereignty, automatic adoption of foreign law, and gradual bypassing of the people. Under the influence of powerful lobbies, our direct democracy is being hollowed out, not by a [...]
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: [...]
