SUMMARY:Unconditional basic income: position of the Confederation and the cantons
DESCRIPTION:Together with Anne-Claude Demierre\, Vice-President of the Conference of Cantonal Directors of Social Affairs\, Alain Berset presents to the press the position of the Confederation and the cantons on the popular initiative “For an unconditional basic income”. The initiators proposed 2\,500 francs per month per adult. \nThe Federal Council shares the aim of a dignified existence for all\, already enshrined in the Constitution. It considers that such an income would weaken the economy and the social security system. On 5 June 2016\, the people and all the cantons reject the initiative. \nSources \n\nFederal Council\, press release of 08.04.2016\nFederal Chancellery\, results of 05.06.2016

SUMMARY:Culture and Economy Forum: crowdfunding
DESCRIPTION:At the Culture and Economy Forum\, Alain Berset presents the first study on crowdfunding in the cultural sector in Switzerland\, carried out by the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. In 2014\, nearly 4.5 million francs were raised in this way for cultural projects. \nHe recalls that the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty was paid for in 1885 by more than 120\,000 donors\, in response to an appeal by Joseph Pulitzer. Crowdfunding\, he says\, brings creators closer to their audience and complements public support without replacing it. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nForum Culture et économie : le financement participatif\, une chance pour l’économie créative (in German\, French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFederal Council\, press release of 17.03.2016
