Since 2023, the major survey“How are you, Switzerland?”, launched by the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SBC), Swissinfo's parent company, has been examining the fears and aspirations of the people living in Switzerland and the Swiss Abroad. This year, for the first time, an entire section of the poll was devoted to Switzerland's position in the world.
