The Swiss government has urged voters to reject a proposed population cap initiative aimed at limiting the population to 10 million. The initiative, supported by the right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP), argues that it could jeopardise cooperation with the European Union and damage the economy. The move comes as Switzerland is moving towards closer relations with the EU to safeguard its market access. The proposal also includes abandoning its freedom of movement agreement with the UK. The Swiss government argues that the initiative threatens prosperity, internal security and Switzerland's humanitarian traditions.
