On June 14, Switzerland will vote on limiting the population to 10 million people 0 22

According to a new survey, the majority of Swiss citizens are opposed to a bill that aims to limit the country's population to 10 million.

The survey, conducted by GFS Bern for the country's public broadcaster SRG, found that about 52% of respondents oppose the proposal, while 45% support it.

The study involved 19,400 people surveyed from May 19 to May 27.

A previous survey conducted at the end of April showed that Swiss opinions were evenly split, with 47% supporting the limit and 47% opposing it.

The initiative, which will be put to a referendum on June 14, stipulates that the permanent population should not exceed 10 million by 2050, and that Switzerland should suspend the free movement agreement with the EU.

Concerns about the rapid growth of the country's population, which increased to 9.1 million last year, and its impact on public infrastructure have contributed to support for this proposal.

The proposal to limit the population to 10 million was put forward by the far-right Swiss People's Party (SVP).

The country's government has urged citizens to vote against this proposal in the referendum, emphasizing that this initiative would harm cooperation with the European Union and the economy due to labor market restrictions.
