Switzerland’s voters have
finally rejected proposal to scratch net immigration to no more than 0.2%
of the population.
The country's 26 constituencies
disallowed the proposal, with about 74% of people voting no in Sunday's
referendum.
Followers of the measure claimed
that it would have compact pressure on the country's properties. Challengers
said it would have been ruthless for the economy.
Out of Switzerland's eight
million people one quarter of the population are foreigners.
Due to this measure the
government will reduce immigrations from 80,000 to 16,000.
In Switzerland's system of
direct democracy, citizens can strength a survey if they gathering enough
signatures of backing.
The state nominated in February
to re-introduce immigration rations, in result choosing out of an EU free drive
contract.
The government still has to
appliance that survey result, which tossed relations with the EU into
confusion.
Other two surveys were also
being alleged on Sunday: one on imposing the central bank to lift its gold
assets and one on arguing a tax perk for rich foreigners.
They, too, failed to gather
enough support for the actions to pass into law.
