Swiss voters reject right-wing's bid to cap population at 10 million, early results show

Swiss voters rejected a right-wing initiative to cap the population at 10 million, with 55% opposing the proposal. The Swiss People's Party, which proposed the 'sustainability initiative,' argued that population growth strains infrastructure and resources, but the federal government and business groups opposed it. The measure, dubbed a 'Swiss Brexit,' could have affected Switzerland’s ties to the European Union.
