Swiss voters appear to reject proposal to cap population at 10 million

Swiss voters appeared on Sunday to reject a proposal by the Swiss People's party (SVP) to cap the country's population at 10 million. A projection by national broadcaster SRF indicated that approximately 55% of voters opposed the measure, while 45% supported it. This referendum, which had been referred to as the "Swiss Brexit," was a divisive issue. The SVP's proposal aimed to limit population growth, a stance often associated with far-right political platforms. The outcome suggests a rejection of this unprecedented population control measure by the Swiss electorate. The final results are expected to be confirmed shortly, solidifying the projection made by SRF.
