Swiss voters have rejected a proposal to limit the country’s population to 10 million. The referendum, held on Sunday, saw approximately 45% of voters supporting the cap, while just under 55% opposed it. The proposal was initiated by the Swiss People’s Party, who argued that limiting population growth was crucial for preserving Switzerland’s infrastructure and cultural identity. Opponents countered that a population cap would harm the economy and create legal complications. The result indicates a rejection of the nationalist sentiment driving the proposal and a preference for maintaining Switzerland’s current demographic policies. Turnout for the vote was reported as relatively high, reflecting significant public interest in the issue.
