In the November 2024 Swiss referendums, the government faced significant setbacks, including the rejection of motorway expansion plans and changes to tenancy laws. A growing distrust in authorities, exacerbated by recent failures, has shifted voter sentiment, with left-wing parties gaining traction despite a defeat in healthcare financing reforms.
In a recent vote, Swiss citizens rejected a CHF5 billion motorway expansion plan, with 52.7% opposing the government-backed initiative, while approving healthcare reforms expected to save CHF440 million annually. Voter turnout was around 45%, reflecting growing distrust in institutions, as three out of four parliamentary decisions were rejected. Additionally, proposals to ease eviction rules and tighten subletting conditions were also turned down, highlighting the challenges in the rental market where 60% of the population are renters.
On November 24, Swiss voters will decide on four federal bills, including proposed motorway expansions and amendments to tenancy law that favor landlords. The referendum follows significant public debate, with a notable opposition to the motorway projects and concerns over tenant rights. Voter turnout is expected to be around 50%, with approximately 5.5 million eligible voters participating.
In Switzerland, an estimated ten tonnes of gold, worth around CHF 750 million, is believed to be buried in gardens, reflecting a deep-seated distrust in banks. A study reveals that 22% of Swiss respondents own gold, with many opting for home storage over bank deposits, driven by concerns over inflation and economic stability.
Swiss voters will decide on November 24 whether to accept a significant revision to healthcare financing, aimed at standardizing costs and promoting outpatient care. Supporters argue it will improve treatment quality and reduce insurance premiums, while unions warn it may empower insurance companies and compromise patient care. The changes, accepted by parliament, are set to begin implementation in 2028, with potential annual savings of up to CHF440 million.
Swiss voters will decide on November 24 whether to approve amendments to tenancy laws that grant landlords more power to terminate leases and restrict subletting. Opponents, including tenant associations, argue these changes will worsen rental conditions and favor property owners, while supporters claim they clarify existing laws and address subletting abuses.
