Reference: Switzerland Tells NO Blocking Free Movement With EU

Supporters of this initiative estimated that this movement would enable Switzerland to control its borders and select the immigrants it needs.

But, on the other hand, opponents predicted that if free movement is banned there will be a recession of the economy and many Swiss citizens will have to live and work in other European countries. The justice minister stated that this could create a more difficult situation than Brex.

However, Swiss citizens rejected the initiative. The text presented in the referendum was rejected by most cantons.
