According to the results of the survey, which was conducted on September 4 and 5, 59% rejected the occupational pension reform (BVG). 37% agreed with it, which corresponds to an increase of four percentage points compared to the last survey. The reform is intended to stabilize the second pillar and help people with low incomes to receive a higher pension.
The approval rate for the biodiversity initiative is 42%, which represents a decrease of 9 percentage points compared to the last survey. In the same period, the "no" vote rose by 14 percentage points to 56%. The initiative calls for more money and more protected areas for biodiversity.
