Referendum important, astăzi, în Elveția, privind neutralitatea țării / „Avem un rol fundamental de jucat pe această planetă”

Swiss citizens are voting on a citizen initiative aimed at reinforcing the country's neutrality, which has faced criticism and is largely opposed in polls. The initiative seeks to enshrine a strengthened neutrality in the constitution, prohibiting military alliances and economic sanctions against third countries, except those mandated by the UN. The vote comes amid debates over Switzerland's recent alignment with EU sanctions against Russia and its non-permanent UN Security Council membership. Supporters advocate for a flexible neutrality, while critics label the initiative as pro-Russian. Polls indicate a significant majority against the initiative, alongside another proposal to boost local food production, which is also expected to be rejected.
