Swiss citizens have voted against a proposal to limit the country’s population to 10 million, according to initial results from a national referendum. The initiative, put forward by the right-wing Swiss People’s Party (UDC), aimed to curb immigration by suspending Switzerland’s free movement agreements with the European Union. Opponents of the measure argued it would harm the Swiss economy and damage relations with key trading partners. Preliminary data indicates a clear majority voted against the proposal, maintaining the current system of relatively open borders. The UDC argued population growth was straining infrastructure and altering Swiss identity. The outcome suggests continued support for existing immigration policies despite concerns raised by the populist party. Final official results are expected later today.
