The recent discussions in Bern have intensified around the conclusion of negotiations between Switzerland and the EU, alongside the Parliamentary Investigation Committee's report on the Credit Suisse emergency merger. Party leaders expressed contrasting views, with SVP's Martullo-Blocher criticizing the government's approach, while SP's Meyer and FDP's Burkart welcomed the negotiation outcomes, emphasizing the importance of wage protection and the continuation of bilateral agreements. The debate highlights ongoing concerns about sovereignty and immigration control amid evolving relations with the EU.
The Federal Supreme Court will decide on December 12 whether the vote to raise the women's retirement age should be repeated due to a significant miscalculation in AHV forecasts that misled voters.

The court's ruling will also address whether the linked increase in VAT should be reconsidered, complicating the situation further.
