A group called Opération Libero and the Green party plan to come together to launch a referendum to require Switzerland’s federal government to sign new deal with the EU. Those behind the planned referendum are concerned that Switzerland is being progressively sidelined by the EU, something that is happening without any input from parliament or voters, reported 20 Minutes. The initiative is aimed at ensuring Switzerland has access to the European market and is able to create new ways to cooperate. If the vote was successful, the Federal Council would have three years to reach an agreement with Brussels. However, the Liberal Green and Socialist parties remain open to coming on board, although the Socialist party has voiced concerns around salary dumping.
