Supporters of the proposal, led by the right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP), argued that Switzerland had moved too close to the European Union and NATO, especially since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Voters delivered a decisive verdict.
EeuronewsOriginal★★★☆☆2026-09-27 16:59
Swiss voters have overwhelmingly rejected proposals to impose a stricter interpretation of the country's neutrality. More than 70% opposed measures that would have required UN approval for sanctions and blocked closer ties with Nato. Russia backed the initiative, while the federal government and other major parties opposed it.
Swiss voters rejected a far-right-backed initiative to enshrine a strict version of neutrality in the constitution, with about 70% voting against it and every canton opposing it. The proposal would have limited cooperation with Nato and barred sanctions against warring states unless authorised by the UN. The government and most parties said it would leave Switzerland less secure and less reliable internationally.
A projection indicates that about 71 percent of Swiss voters opposed an initiative seeking to impose stricter constitutional limits on the country’s neutrality. The proposal would have defined neutrality as “perpetual and armed” and restricted defence cooperation and some sanctions, while rejection preserves the government’s room to cooperate with NATO and impose sanctions.
Swiss voters rejected a referendum initiative that would have written permanent and comprehensive neutrality into the Constitution, lifted anti-Russian sanctions and barred NATO membership. Preliminary results showed 68.6% opposed and 31.4% supported it, with turnout at 46.36%. The initiative failed after 13 of 26 cantons voted against it.
Swiss voters are taking part in a referendum on whether to enshrine a stricter definition of the country’s centuries-old neutrality in the constitution. The vote comes as other neutral states boost defence spending and ties with NATO, and as Russia’s war in Ukraine and pressure on traditional alliances raise questions about how Switzerland can preserve its neutrality.
Swiss voters are taking part in a referendum on whether the country should apply its longstanding neutrality policy more strictly. The initiative, backed by the right-wing Pro Schweiz association, says the government has moved too close to the EU and NATO since Russia's war in Ukraine. Most major parties oppose it, and polling suggests it is unlikely to pass.

Speaking in Lourdes on Sunday morning, Pope Leo XIV urged the French Catholic Church to continue confronting sexual abuse. The issue has been a closely watched part of his visit.
EeuronewsOriginal★★★☆☆2026-09-27 16:33
After spending two days in Paris, where hundreds of thousands of worshippers gathered, Pope Leo XIV is continuing his France visit in the southwestern pilgrimage town of Lourdes. He is expected to hold a private meeting there with survivors of clergy sexual abuse. The four-day trip is the first official papal visit to France in almost 20 years.
Pope Leo XIV urged the Catholic Church to confront its “painful errors” and heal “deep wounds” during an address to about 150,000 people at Lourdes. He was due to meet seven survivors of child sexual abuse by French clergy and pressed bishops to remain vigilant against abuse of minors.
Pope Leo XIV called for the protection of the weakest at Lourdes, the French shrine known for miraculous cures, while reiterating his opposition to euthanasia and medically assisted dying.
Pope Leo XIV praised French bishops for their “courageous” response to the “painful scourge” of abuse of minors by clergy or in an ecclesial context. During his visit to Lourdes, where about 150,000 attended his Mass, he was due to meet seven adult survivors. Some survivors said change in the Church was moving slowly.
Pope Leo has urged French bishops to maintain the greatest vigilance and continue efforts to eliminate the “scourge” of sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church. Hundreds of thousands have attended events during his four-day visit to France, including a Mass for thousands in Lourdes, where he was due to meet survivors privately.

A French inquiry found that Church members had abused around 330,000 minors over seven decades.
Pope Leo XIV led an open-air Mass on Paris’s Champs-Elysees attended by hundreds of thousands. The Vatican said about 800,000 people were present as the pope greeted cheering crowds during a 2km parade. The choice of Place de la Concorde drew criticism from supporters of France’s strict secularism.

Fears of renewed fighting between Iran and the United States have grown after Donald Trump rejected Tehran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian media reported explosions near Qeshm Island, while both sides accuse each other over shipping, the blockade and control of the waterway. Tehran says the strait will not fully reopen until the US blockade on Iranian ports ends.
US President Donald Trump said a record volume of oil, exceeding pre-war levels, moved through the Strait of Hormuz last night. He predicted oil and prices would fall sharply once the war ends, but did not give a figure for the amount transported.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran is ready for fighting with the United States to resume, while diplomacy remains open after President Donald Trump publicly rejected a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
At a Meet the Press appearance, Abbas Araghchi said Iran would confront any aggression and was ready for renewed fighting, even under what he called “doomsday” conditions. The foreign minister spoke as reports suggested President Trump seeks to resume bombing once the midterm elections are over.
Iran’s foreign minister says negotiations are the only way to break the deadlock, while the Iranian navy claims it has captured a U.S. underwater drone and is analyzing its data.
Experts say Trump believes economic sanctions can extract more concessions from Iran, making it preferable for Washington to wait rather than accept Tehran’s terms now. Iran offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in return for an end to the naval blockade, sanctions relief on oil sales, the release of frozen assets and a wider regional ceasefire. Trump rejected the proposal.
Iran’s Navy says it intercepted a US Remus 600-class autonomous underwater vehicle in the Strait of Hormuz, calling it the second such American drone captured by Iranian forces. Iran said the vehicle was conducting espionage and has been taken to specialists for data extraction.
Iran’s armed forces are prepared for any renewed U.S. attacks, state media quoted army spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia as saying on Sunday. The warning came after President Donald Trump said he rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the fighting.
With the United States blockading Iran’s southern ports and Donald Trump rejecting Tehran’s offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Iran is seeking northern and overland routes to export oil and bring in essential goods. Falling Caspian water levels, smaller port capacity and severe border congestion complicate the shift.
Iran says it has not received a formal rejection of its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, despite Donald Trump dismissing it publicly. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said reopening remains conditional on Iran’s demands, while stressing that Tehran has not closed the door to diplomacy or negotiations.
Iran is awaiting a definitive US response to its seven-day proposal to reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz, but says it will not ease its conditions after President Donald Trump voiced his rejection.
