Switzerland's President Guy Parmelin gives a press conference following a vote in the country on a divisive anti-immigration proposal to cap the country's population and another referendum on restricting access to conscientious objection to military service in Bern, on June 14, 2026. The Swiss appeared to have voted down the anti-immigration proposal. Shortly after polls closed initial projections indicated around 55 percent opposition to the initiative, which had sparked warnings of "chaos" and devastating impacts for the Swiss economy and European Union relations.
