The Geneva daily newspaper "Le Temps" comments online on the Yes vote on the 13th AHV pension as follows:
For "Le Temps", the authorities have not correctly assessed the extent of citizens' anger over public spending and the purchasing power crisis. The vote in favor of the 13th AHV pension shows that the first pillar has become a "safe haven" for the Swiss people: "Citizens were of the opinion that an increase in guaranteed pensions, despite the high cost of this measure, was better than waiting for micro-measures from pusillanimous authorities."
