The initiative was put forward by the far-right Swiss People’s Party (SVP), which has historically fostered anti-migration sentiment, and aimed to curb immigration. Had the proposal passed, it would have mandated the government to restrict asylum, family reunification, and residency permits if the population reached 9.5 million before 2050, potentially also scrapping Switzerland’s EU deal on the free movement of people. Critics, including the federal government and Parliament, warned that implementing such a cap would severely damage key Swiss economic sectors such as healthcare, finance, pharmaceuticals, and technology, and weaken crucial ties with the European Union. Since Switzerland and the EU eased restrictions on cross-border living and working in 2002, the Swiss population has grown by 23 per cent to 9.1 million, while economic output has also increased by 24 per cent.
