TOP5 4511 Suisse l initiative anti immigration se dirige vers un rejet

The first results of the referendum held in Switzerland indicate a likely rejection of the popular initiative "No Switzerland of 10 Million," put forward by the Swiss People's Party (SVP/UDC) to curb population growth linked to immigration. The initiative aimed, in particular, to limit the country's population to ten million inhabitants and to tighten immigration policy. According to the trends, a majority of voters preferred to follow the advice of the government and the business community, who believed that this measure risked harming the economy and relations with the European Union.
