Swiss voters reject proposal to limit national population to 10 million

Swiss citizens voted on a referendum to set a maximum population of 10 million. The proposal aimed to curb immigration and preserve resources. Voters rejected the measure by a clear margin. The outcome reflects broad support for maintaining open borders. Government officials said the decision aligns with existing demographic policies. Environmental groups had mixed reactions, citing sustainability concerns. The result keeps current immigration laws unchanged. Future debates on population and climate may resurface in upcoming elections.
