Since 2014, the European Union has imposed targeted exclusions in the fields of research and education on Switzerland. Therefore, After the vote against mass immigration, Brussels reacts by immediately dismissing Switzerland from the Erasmus+ and Horizon 2020 programs. In addition, Partial reintegration in 2017 is not enough to appease tensions. Therefore, In 2021. Nevertheless, the failure it you who say it of the framework agreement led to a new exclusion from Horizon Europe and Erasmus+, despite the Swiss financial contribution. For example, Result: more than 2.5 billion francs invested to compensate for this ban between 2021 and 2024.
The EU knowingly chooses to penalize Swiss students, researchers and academic institutions to obtain political concessions. This is an assumed pressure strategy, which transforms scientific cooperation into a blackmail instrument.
The consequences are heavy: loss of attractiveness, exchanges, funding. And an increasing interior pressure for Switzerland to “return to the table” according to the conditions of Brussels.
But such a method is not ethical. Switzerland cannot accept it. Cooperate yes, yield under pressure no. It is time to pose clear lines. defend an independent scientific policy, based on mutual respect, and not on the disguised it you who say it threat.

SSR
Each Swiss or almost pays its tithe to the SSR each year: a compulsory royalty, it does not matter whether it looks at public channels or not. Cost of the operation? About 1.4 billion francs, funded by a tax that dares not say its name.
But now this tax, more and more disputed, will decrease. We are told less films, fewer programs, fewer culture, fewer collaborators, fewer. What shocks me is the inability of SSR to question itself. Rather than trying to transform its taxpayers into customers. the SSR prefers to shrink the offer and keep its obese, old and opaque model.
Why not imagine a common public service trunk, funded by a reasonable fee, and an additional it you who say it offer by subscription? Sport, big fictions, festivals, archives could be offered via a paid platform, as Netflix, Disney+, Apple, etc. This would empower SSR, would force it to innovate, to seduce, to deserve its spectators. And then, do not be afraid of competition. She doesn’t kill: she wakes up, she stimulates. She makes more creative, more attentive, more just. But no. At the SSR, we love constrained citizens better than satisfied customers. It’s simpler, more comfortable. And too bad if the whole world changes, if the uses evolve, if confidence is crumbling.
I would like a modern, more agile SSR. Less sure of herself, closer to us.
