Enough of paying to be formatted. For too long, the television licence fee has been presented as an inevitability, an untouchable tax that is beyond democratic debate. Yet behind this compulsory levy lies a costly, ideological system that is out of touch with the people and has gradually replaced information with opinion-forming. On 8 March 2026, the Swiss have a rare opportunity to take back control and send a clear message: public money is not a blank cheque.
Before the licence fee, the Swiss media existed, informing and investigating. And it worked very well. Journalism made a living from its credibility, not from a compulsory levy.
Today, the media subsidised - written press, radio, RTS - massively convey a unique narrative that of the federal bureaucracy, its ideological priorities and its dogmas. This is no longer information, it's opinion engineering. Shaping, guiding, framing. Controlling the narrative means controlling power.
The Swiss are not fooled. They are disengaging. Subscriptions are falling. Newspapers are disappearing - and that's normal. When a product is no longer good, we don't subsidise it. We improve it... or let it die.
And why should taxpayers fund entertainment ? Anyone who wants to be entertained pays. It is not the role of publicly-funded media to produce entertainment, empty talk shows or televised debates. at daisy level as Infrared.
On 8 March 2026, the people will have to vote on a reduction in the licence fee to CHF 200.00. In truth, this fee has no legitimacy. It should be deleted. In many countries, it was introduced by globalised elites precisely to control information. It's a social engineering programme. The prisoner who pays his own way.
This fee finances a caste of self-righteous, The same profiles, the same platforms, the same inner circle. Euro-fanatics, conformists, with no real added value. They live off the system and defend it.
«Whoever pays for the orchestra gets to choose the music.»
Conclusion
Subsidised media have become a caste living off public money. This has to stop. On 8 March, reducing the licence fee is a minimum requirement. Removing it is an act of sovereignty.
Inform, yes. To indoctrinate no. Pay to be formatted: ever.
On 8 March 2026, vote YES Because the current licence fee is unfairly levied on households and businesses, capping it at 200 francs is the lesser evil and above all a clear political signal - the fact that this deduction can no longer be automatic, unlimited or open to question.
