- Swiss wait to hear result of ballot on capping population at 10 million
A national ballot in Switzerland on a far-right proposal to cap the population at 10 million by 2050 concludes this weekend. The proposal would require the government to implement restrictions on family reunification, residency permits, and asylum if the population reaches 9.5 million before 2050. Warnings highlight potential devastating economic consequences if the initiative passes.
