Swiss voters reject stricter neutrality rules that would curb Nato cooperation

Swiss voters decisively turned down a proposal to tighten the country's long‑standing neutrality, with roughly 70 % rejecting measures that would limit cooperation with NATO. The initiative, promoted by far‑right groups who argued that sanctions on Russia had already weakened neutrality, failed to gain support, preserving the status quo on Swiss defence and foreign policy in the future.
