Swiss voters decide on referendum to tighten neutrality rules

Original: Voters in Switzerland decide on right-wing party's proposal to tighten neutrality rules

Swiss voters are going to the polls on a proposal from the country's right-wing Swiss People's Party that would enshrine stricter neutrality rules in law. The measure would limit Switzerland's ability to sanction foreign countries or support allies' defence policies. Supporters argue it protects Switzerland's long-standing neutrality, while opponents warn it could restrict the government's flexibility in foreign policy.

Why now: The referendum is a live national vote on Switzerland's neutrality amid the war in Ukraine and debates over Western sanctions on Russia.
