Swiss cabinet opposes move to curb EU immigration in referendum 0 SHARES Share it! Last year, net EU immigration to Switzerland was around 34,000, shy of record years like 2013 when 66,000 more people came from the EU than left. For 2018, net EU immigration through October was 26,809, Sommaruga said. “That’s an immigration lie, because the Swiss cabinet at one time was talking about only 8,000 people,” said Roesti, whose party is parliament’s strongest at 29.4 percent representation. Since 2002, when freedom of movement took effect, Roesti said, Switzerland has added 700,000 EU citizens.
