Referendum în Elveția pentru „neutralitate”. Alegătorii decid cât de aproape rămâne țara de NATO și UE

Swiss voters are participating in a referendum to strengthen the country's neutrality, supported by the Swiss People's Party. The proposal aims to limit ties with the EU and NATO, especially in light of the Ukraine conflict. Proponents argue for a reaffirmation of Switzerland's long-standing neutral stance, while critics, including the federal government, believe existing constitutional provisions are sufficient. The proposal would restrict the government from joining sanctions against any country involved in a conflict, except those approved by the UN. Switzerland has cooperated with NATO for decades, and supporters claim the government has moved too close to the EU and NATO, jeopardizing national security.
