Swiss To Hold Referendum That Will Restrict Population To 10 Million Until 2050​

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Modernity.news,
In a move intended to restrict mass migration, Switzerland will hold a referendum to restrict their population to 10 million until 2050.


The vote will take place after the populist Swiss People’s Party (UDC) harvested 114,600 signatures in just nine months, meeting a government requirement for 100,000 signatures within 18 months for the referendum to go ahead.

If approved, the referendum will ensure Switzerland maintains “sustainable demographic development” by restricting the permanent resident population of the wealthy European country to 10 million for the next 25 years.
“Under the proposal, the Swiss government would have to take urgent measures as soon as the permanent resident population exceeds 9.5 million by, for example, suspending the ability for migrants to obtain residence permits, Swiss citizenship, or any other right to stay in the country,” reports Remix News.

The vote would also likely mean Switzerland would be forced to end its bilateral agreement with the European Union on free movement and pull out of the U.N. Global Compact for Migration.

UDC leader Marco Chiesa said the referendum would guarantee “the safety, services, and well-being of all of us” while serving “to preserve our values: independence, direct democracy, sovereignty, and freedom.”

“Since 2023, for the first time, more than 9 million people have been living in our country,” said UDC National Councilor and Group Chairman Thomas Aeschi.
“Last year, an additional 98,851 people immigrated to our country. Added to this are more than 30,000 asylum seekers.”

As in other European countries, mass migration to Switzerland has resulted in “housing shortages and rising rents, traffic jams on the roads, crowded trains and buses, falling standards of schools, increasing violence and crime, electricity shortages, income stagnating per capita, ever-higher health insurance premiums, indebted social services, and increased pressure on the beauty of the landscape and the preservation of nature,” according to the party.

The UDC previously warned that the country was being subsumed by mass migration, with new arrivals from Africa having welfare rates of 34 per cent.

Around two-thirds of prison inmates in Switzerland are foreign nationals, with Algerians representing the highest proportion.

Meanwhile, as we document in the video below, Japan appears to have chosen a very different course, opening up its borders to mass migration to solve a labor shortage.

I wish them luck! Maybe more countries should follow suit and tell the migrants from Africa and the Middle East to stay in their own countries and tend to fixing their own problems instead of bringing mass chaos to other countries. I hope it works for them!

This is a big middle finger to the EU and UN! Especially done by such a wealthy country!

When they say Japan has thrown open its borders that's a serious oversimplification. There is a very controlled, limited stay programs that people can apply for( mostly other Asians) ... supposedly for schooling or in training to take back skills to their home country. In reality...they want workers for entry level jobs because there are not enough workers in the country. They are even pushing retired seniors to take low pay entry level jobs and not be a burden on society. And you do not want to overstay a visa or commit any crime in Japan..their penal system is scary as all get out...even for petty crimes and the accused has very few rights.

It doesn't matter. They can still give a middle finger to the EU.

Have they figured out that 98% of these immigrants are not looking for work but want to be feed and want free housing and their medical issues taken care of by the taxpayers of the host country thats so foolish enough to take them in?

Remember to add, "Jihad," to that list; there are deliberate strategies at work from North Africa and the Middle East... This is where we also mention the active assistance coming from the Kalergi adherents in Europe.

Remember in Switzerland every man 18 years old and older by law is armed with a rifle and 100 rounds of ammo for it.
They can shoot the rifle and ammo at any of the public shooting ranges and they turn in the empty ammo box and they are issued another 20 to 100 rounds in a sealed in 20 round boxes.

I think that I saw a story recently that the Netherlands has spent 17 billion euros the last 4 years to maintain their immigrants. That 17 billion is above and beyond any gains actually earned by the immigrants themselves.

Switzerland "Violated Human Rights" By Not Tackling Climate-Change Quickly Enough, ECHR Rules In Landmark Case​

Authored by Thomas Brooke via ReMix News,
National governments are infringing on citizens’ human rights by not doing enough to tackle climate change, the European Court of Human Rights has held in a landmark ruling that could have far-reaching consequences and influence climate policy across the continent.


In a highly-anticipated judgment, the Strasbourg court on Tuesday sided with a group of Swiss pensioners who brought a claim against their national government for its perceived failure to act sufficiently in reducing carbon emissions, claiming that existing climate policy was violating their human rights.

The members of the KlimaSeniorinnen group, supported by environmental campaign groups such as Greenpeace, argued that elderly citizens are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, citing the fact that excess deaths occur more regularly among the elderly during periods of extreme heat because they are less able to regulate their body temperature.

The group also claimed that heat waves impact the mental well-being of elderly citizens more because they are less able to go outside and withstand the heat, which they argue affects their quality of life.

The association relied on Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects the general right to life, and Article 8, which guarantees the right to private and family life.

Domestic governments are obliged to take “reasonable and appropriate measures” to secure these rights, steps members of the KlimaSeniorinnen group claimed the Swiss government had not taken.

The litigation had been appealed by the group up to the top human rights court in Europe after its claim was rejected first by the Federal Administrative Court in Switzerland and then by the Federal Supreme Court, the country’s highest ruling body.

The judgment is the third of three similar cases the court was asked to consider in respect to the correlation between climate change and human rights and sets a precedent that all national courts in Council of Europe member states will be required to adhere to.

It had recently dismissed the other two cases, brought by Portuguese youths and a former French mayor who had claimed their respective national governments had infringed on their human rights by not being ambitious enough with their climate targets.

The move could see governments across Europe required to take even greater measures to press on with reducing carbon emissions and pursuing a green agenda that many citizens believe is being wrongly prioritized and expedited to their own detriment.

Climate activists celebrated the ruling outside the Strasbourg court on Tuesday, accompanied by Swedish climate zealot Greta Thunberg.

“The ECHR verdict will send an important signal worldwide,” said Raphaël Mahaim, a lawyer involved in the case and a Green Party lawmaker in the Swiss parliament.
