According to political scientist Urs Bieri from the gfs.bern research institute, the "no" vote on the pension fund reform will be "very clear". The Yes vote will be between 30 and 40 percent, certainly not more.
Bieri spoke on Swiss radio SRF of a "hard defeat for the authorities". There had been criticism and mistrust as to whether the problems with the financing of the second pillar were really real. "There was no common awareness of the problem." Lukas Golder, also a political scientist at gfs.bern, spoke on Swiss television SRF of a "slap in the face" and a "slap in the face".
The proposal for the reform of the second pillar was highly controversial during the referendum campaign. Those in favor spoke of a "good compromise", while opponents described the reform as "miserable and terrible". Among other things, the focus was on the complexity of the bill. The incorrect AHV figures published by the federal government were obviously also grist to the opponents' mill.
