SVP National Councillor Barbara Steinemann finds the Federal Court's decision on the appeal against the increase in the women's retirement age "very sensible". It would be questionable in terms of the rule of law if the vote had been repeated on the basis of forecasts, she told the Keystone-SDA news agency.

Many other referendums would therefore also have had to be repeated. For example, on the basis of immigration figures or the alleged increase in security through Schengen accession, the politician wrote on X.

If the vote on the women's retirement age had been repeated, the vote on the 13th AHV would also have had to be repeated, as the starting position would have been different if women only had to work until 64, according to Steinemann.
