PoliticsSwiss government rejects rigid interpretation of neutrality ahead of referendum

The Swiss government has rejected a strict reading of the country’s neutrality ahead of next month’s referendum. Campaigners backing the proposal want that interpretation written into the constitution if they prevail. The government’s position opposes defining Swiss neutrality in such inflexible terms. The referendum will determine whether the campaigners can advance their constitutional demand.
