Between remaining Switzerland and keeping its population low or increase it by stopping losing national identity, the Swiss Confederation has opted for the latter. In move aimed at restricting mass immigration, Switzerland to hold referendum to limit its population to ten million until 2050.
It is not a bad strategy, for “optical” purposes: restricting immigration “sounds” bad, xenophobic and all that, in the ears of globalists, but restricting the population, on the other hand, seems much more in line with the criteria of the 2030 Agenda .
The vote will be held after the sovereigntist Swiss People’s Party (UDC) collected 114,600 signatures in just nine months, more than meeting the legal requirement of 100,000 signatures within 18 months for a popular consultation to be held. If approved, the referendum will guarantee Switzerland a «sustainable demographic development» by restricting the permanent resident population to 10 million for the next 25 years.
“Under the proposal, the Swiss government would have to take urgent measures as soon as the permanent resident population exceeds 9.5 million, suspending, for example, the possibility for immigrants to obtain residence permitsSwiss citizenship or any other right to remain in the country,” reports the Remix News portal.
The decision would force the country to end its bilateral agreement with the European Union on free movement and its withdrawal from the United Nations Global Compact for Migration. They are all advantages.
UDC leader Marco Chiesa said the referendum would guarantee “the security, services and well-being of all of us” and at the same time serve “to preserve our values: independence, direct democracy, sovereignty and freedom.”
“Since 2023, for the first time more than nine million people have lived in our country,” said the national councilor of the UDC and president of the group, Thomas Aeschi. «Last year, 98,851 more people emigrated to our country. Added to this are more than 30,000 asylum seekers.
As elsewhere, mass immigration to Switzerland has resulted in “housing shortages and rising rents, traffic jams on the roads, overcrowded trains and buses, drop in the level of schools, increase in violence and crime“, electricity outages, stagnant, ever-increasing per capita income, higher health insurance premiums, indebted social services and greater pressure on the beauty of the landscape and the preservation of nature,” according to the party.
