Switzerland conducts historic population vote
The article focuses on a historic referendum in Switzerland aimed at setting a population cap of 10 million by 2050, amid intense political debate. This vote takes place in the context of an anti-immigration campaign, where proponents of the initiative emphasize that rapid population growth strains infrastructure and services, while the government warns that approving it could harm the economy, which relies on foreign labor. It is noted that the population growth rate has increased by 23% since 2002, with expected impacts on asylum and residency policies.
