Switzerland Votes to Limit Population Growth—Again

Swiss voters backed a plan to cap population growth on June 14, repeating a vote from 2014 that nearly cost Switzerland access to open trade with Europe. This time is riskier: Switzerland is reworking its entire deal with the EU. A yes vote will likely trigger a new standoff over whether the limit breaks European rules. Switzerland's government opposes it, saying the plan conflicts with treaties they've signed.
