"Swiss Version of Brexit Likely to Be Rejected"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Local media in Switzerland forecast that the referendum on the constitutional amendment to restrict immigration of European Union (EU) citizens, so-called the 'Swiss version of Brexit,' is likely to be rejected.

According to a recent poll conducted by the research institute gfs.bern on the 16th (local time) ahead of the referendum scheduled for the 27th, 63% of respondents opposed restricting immigration of EU citizens.

On the other hand, only 35% supported the restriction, showing that those opposing immigration limits were nearly twice as many.

A researcher at gfs.bern stated that there are no signs of 'shy supporters' quietly backing the constitutional amendment, analyzing that "something more significant would have to happen to shake (public opinion)."
