Swiss voters overwhelmingly reject far-right neutrality plan
Original: Swiss voters overwhelmingly reject far-right plan to toughen neutrality
Swiss voters have overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to reinterpret the country's long-standing neutrality in a stricter, more isolationist way. Final government results showed more than 70% voted against the initiative, with a majority against in all 26 cantons. The plan was championed by the right-wing Swiss People's Party, and the decisive result is being read as a firm endorsement of Switzerland's current neutral stance.
Why now: A rare and sweeping nationwide defeat of the far-right's flagship foreign policy initiative is drawing wide attention.
