Swiss voters reject bid to enshrine stricter neutrality in constitution
Swiss voters said no to a plan to write stricter neutrality into their constitution. About 69% voted against it. The proposal would have stopped Switzerland from joining military alliances or imposing sanctions that the United Nations did not approve. In a separate vote, a plan to produce more food locally got just 24% support. Nothing changes for Swiss policy right now, so no action is needed.
