Swiss voters are preparing to decide on a proposal to limit the country’s population to 10 million residents. The initiative, spearheaded by the right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP), aims to curb immigration through stricter regulations. Proponents argue the cap is necessary to preserve Switzerland’s infrastructure and cultural identity. Opponents, including the government and business leaders, warn the measure could harm the economy and strain labor markets. The proposal could also jeopardize agreements with the European Union, particularly regarding the free movement of people. A ‘yes’ vote would necessitate constitutional changes and potentially lead to renegotiations with the EU. The outcome of the referendum is expected to be close and reflects growing concerns about immigration in Switzerland.
