As a Swiss - no, this is sadly still not really contested by any parties besides greens and socialists. Maybe some singular politicians from center and center-right, but our government made it very clear that they still intend to buy the jets.
It's like when bidden admin was in talks about ceasefire newsbite for solely PR reasons.

Classic, "notice us being logical/moral/emphatic/anti fascism" PR messaging while the deal's already been made or is certain, so that they can go "we tried" rhetoric later.
