In a recent interview, Guy Parmelin, a Swiss Federal Councillor and former president, said that at some point the population will say stop, referring to immigration, reported SRF. In the interview, Parmelin, a Federal Councillor and member of the Swiss People’s Party (SVP/UDC) was unusually blunt regarding Switzerland’s politics of immigration, something his party has strong views on. Immigration helps solve the shortage of skilled workers, but I have certain doubts as to whether we can continue like this, he said. I’m almost certain that the population will say stop at some point. Since a narrow majority voted in favour of limits on immigration in 2014, Switzerland’s constitution has included wording that places limits on immigration.
