Growing support for far-right parties is prompting European governments to tighten immigration controls, with Switzerland planning a vote on a population cap. This initiative could lead to a blanket ban on new arrivals if the population exceeds 10 million, affecting all migrants regardless of their status. Polls indicate that citizens may approve this proposal, reflecting a desire to protect Swiss lifestyle and the environment. The right-wing Swiss People’s Party, which gained 28% of the vote in the last election, advocates for this limit as a means to preserve national identity.
