Swiss Voters Reject Proposal to Tighten Neutrality Rules in Referendum
Swiss voters overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to enshrine a stricter form of neutrality in the constitution, with initial projections showing around 70% opposition. The initiative, supported by the right-wing Swiss People's Party, sought to limit Switzerland's ability to impose sanctions and cooperate with military alliances except in self-defense. The government and most political parties opposed the measure, arguing the current flexible neutrality framework allows appropriate responses to international conflicts, including sanctions against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.
