Swiss voters have rejected a right-wing initiative aimed at limiting the country’s population to 10 million. The referendum, titled “No to a Switzerland of 10 million!”, was defeated by a majority of cantons and with 54.8% of voters opposing the proposal. The initiative sought to restrict immigration and limit population growth, arguing it would protect Switzerland’s resources and quality of life. Opponents argued the measure was anti-foreign and would harm the Swiss economy, which relies on skilled labor from abroad. The result indicates continued support for Switzerland’s current immigration policies and its ability to accommodate population growth. This decision allows Switzerland’s population, currently around 8.7 million, to potentially exceed 10 million in the future.
