Voters Protect Cash But Reject Media Fee.

Results from the national referendums held earlier this month show a clear divide in public priorities. Voters chose to enshrine the availability of cash and the Swiss franc in the Constitution, ensuring that physical money remains a protected payment option. A high-profile proposal to slash the annual radio and TV license fee (from 335 CHF to 200 CHF) was rejected. This means funding for the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation remains secure for now. Voters also weighed in on removing the marriage penalty for taxation and a new climate fund initiative, reflecting a broad national focus on economic fairness and long-term sustainability.
