Smart State
The common consensus among the Swiss population is that the federal government and its organisations, including state-owned companies, are fundamentally inefficient bureaucracies.
For us at Volt this is unacceptable; we want more from our state. The federal government, the cantons and also the municipalities should primarily benefit us as citizens. Across Europe, we are working towards a transparent, efficient and connected administration that minimises bureaucracy and guarantees Europeans the basis for shared prosperity.

The 5+1 challenges
Volt has defined 5+1 fundamental challenges that need to be addressed in every European country and in Europe as a whole.
Why 5 + 1 challenges?
The 5 challenges are essentially the same for each country, but their implementation can be adapted at the national level to take into account local circumstances.
Challenge No. +1 - our proposal to reform and strengthen the EU - is identical in all our national programs. Here in Switzerland, our relations with the EU are the focus.
