Apprenticeships at risk: the bilateral agreements have downgraded the CFC
For decades, apprenticeship has been one of the Confederation's greatest success stories: an effective social lift, a guarantee of dignity through work and a pillar of economic prosperity. The Federal Certificate of Competence embodied this unique Swiss promise, based on competence, effort and local roots. But for over [...]
The euro is not under threat. It is already doomed. And some people are making a very good living out of this agony
We are repeatedly told that the euro is «solid», «irreversible» and «too important to fall». This is precisely what was said about all the great artificial currencies before they collapsed. Behind the reassuring rhetoric lies a brutal reality: a currency without a nation, without real political sovereignty and kept alive [...].
Le Matin Dimanche & Tristan Mendès France: when the subsidised press becomes the Ministry of Truth
When a Sunday newspaper turns itself into the Ministry of Truth, it is no longer news: it is propaganda. By offering a complacent platform to an «expert» paid to disqualify all critical thought, Le Matin Dimanche is no longer seeking to enlighten public debate, but to infantilise its readers. Behind the [...]
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.

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 [...]
