The cantons of Bern and Geneva decide on longer parental leave.

The canton of Bern is voting on a parental leave of 24 weeks. According to the SP initiative, parental leave should be granted in addition to national maternity and paternity leave. In addition, the debt brake in the canton should be relaxed.

There is also a 24-week parental leave in the Canton of Geneva, where a total of six proposals will be voted on. It also involves a temporary tax increase for millionaires and the creation of a thousand jobs per year by the public sector, among others.

In the canton of Jura, executive members of the canton and municipalities, as well as members of the judicial authorities, could be removed from office in the future. The Maudet affair in Geneva was the impetus for the amendment of the law.

Longer store opening hours in Tessin?

In the tourist canton of Ticino, a vote is being taken on a moderate extension of shop opening hours. In addition, the premiums for health insurance must also be tax deductible in the future.

An independent ombudsman for the population is being established in the canton of Aargau. In addition, the train service in the lower Fricktal is being expanded. An initiative for climate protection hardly gets any chance.

In the canton of Lucerne, the historic core of Beromünster is relieved of freight traffic. A loan of 70 million for a ring road is being negotiated.

help for hospitals

In the canton of St. Gallen, the regional hospitals receive financial support. The Grabs Hospital can be expanded for CHF 100 million.

In the canton of Thurgau, the ceiling of the energy fund will be lifted to free up more money for energy subsidies. There will also be a vote on the use of the funds from the partial privatization of the Cantonal Bank.

In the canton of Solothurn, the so-called “twin initiatives” are up for vote. This is intended on the one hand to prevent the tax deduction from being reduced or on the other hand to prevent the value of real estate from being increased until 2032.

In the canton of Schaffhausen, there will be a permanent care offer for terminally ill people. The definitive introduction of three palliative care services is planned for this purpose.

In the canton of Vaud, it is an initiative of the Greens, which aims to enshrine the protection of the climate and biodiversity in the constitution.

The canton of Fribourg is voting on a loan of CHF 65.5 million for the relocation of the Natural History Museum.

Zurich and Winterthur vote on minimum wage

There are also voices in many communities. For example, the cities of Zurich and Winterthur are voting on a municipal minimum wage, which would be a novelty if adopted.

The city of Biel revolves around bilingualism: if the completely revised municipal advertising regulations are adopted, advertising in the city of Biel must in future be written in the two official languages, German and French. (SDA)
