Let’s Talk: pension reform debate
A revamp of Switzerland’s pension system is set for a popular vote on September 25. SWI swissinfo.ch organised a special debate on the issue with supporter Andri Silberschmidt and opponent Barbara Gysi.
The reform plans encompass two separate proposals to be decided by voters on September 25: the retirement age for women is to be hiked from 64 to 65, while value-added tax in Switzerland is to rise by 0.4%.
