anti-immigration proposal

Swiss voters rejected a right-wing proposal to cap the country’s population at 10 million, with early projections showing 55% opposition. The initiative faced warnings of economic and EU relations damage, and its rejection was met with relief.

Initial projections after polls closed in Switzerland indicated around 55% opposition to a divisive anti-immigration proposal, leading to its rejection.

Swiss voters will decide on a divisive anti-immigration proposal to cap the country's population and a referendum on restricting access to conscientious objection to military service. The right-wing party supports the population cap vote.
