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.

Switzerlandneutralityreferendum

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.

Switzerlandneutralityreferendumsanctions

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.
