Switzerland will hold a referendum on the issue of mass immigration that would limit the country’s population to 10 million until 2050.
The country, which is renowned for its system of direct democracy, allows its citizens to trigger referendums if they obtain 100,000 signatures within the space of 18 months.
As a result, the conservative Swiss People’s Party (SVP) this week submitted 114,600 signatures to the Federal Chancellery in the capital Bern, meaning a referendum will be held.
“Mass immigration continues its frantic course … with devastating consequences for our small country,” the party said in a statement. [Adopting this initiative] is urgent to protect our unique landscape, our high quality of life, our above-average prosperity, and for a secure, free future for us and our children.”
Although the exact question is unclear, the proposal will give the Swiss an opportunity to vote in favor of a proposal that “the permanent resident population of Switzerland must not exceed 10 million people before the year 2050.” Its current population is just short of nine million people.
