  1. Typical French. These people drive down Swiss salaries, “live like kings” in France and can’t even save up any money if they fall on hard times. And they still don’t get enough…

  2. Same with the Italian cross-borders. Pay low tax, live like kings in their country, leverage public health so no krankencasse for them and still cry …

    Why don’t they live here if they want all the benefits?

  3. If they pay the insurance they should get the same conditions. So chose either this or then don’t let them participate and don’t deduct the insurance from their salaries.

  4. Yet, we rely on people from outside for healthcare, agriculture, construction.

    Perhaps for the right-wing voter here, contemplate what your “bosses” from the SVP are actually doing. They only care about the “growth of the GDP”, like all mainstream political parties. They don’t give a shit about you.

  5. If I could I would. Honestly we critize them but in the end it’s all so logical. I don’t care about any “pride” for a country. It’s not fair for us living here? So what, human is not fair. It’s logical. Money drives us. What are we expecting instead of treating our own internal problems that housing is insane and a lobby and pointing finger, we do it towards people doing jobs no swiss want to do ? I want to still have nurses , thanks (and good ones, trained not homeopaths). We have no choice we’re small. Dependant on other countries for many reasons.

  6. Oh bo-fucking-oh, you live lavishly in your country and barely pay anything and cry when a country finally does something for their own citizens. Typically “pourri-gâtés”

  7. This comment section will surely remain civil and constructive, right ?

  8. > She and her husband, also a cross-border worker, are consulting the association “to see if, in the end, it might be better to live in Switzerland

    People who criticize the frontaliers really don’t understand that.

    If today you tell the 60 000 Geneva frontaliers *“You need to live in Switzerland to work in Switzerland”*, then tomorrow you will have 60 000 frontaliers moving to Switzerland + their partners + their kids + their cars.

    That would be 200 000 people moving to Geneva.

    Obviously nobody here wants that.

  9. Damn, some of you here really don’t like the french.
