Swiss voters look set to reject neutrality and food-security initiatives on 27 September: more than 60% now say they intend to reject the proposals (LINK) — 18 September 2026
— The initiative, launched by the group Pro Suisse, would enshrine in the constitution the principle of Switzerland's "permanent and armed" neutrality. The Swiss People's Party (UDC/SVP) is the only major party to support the proposal.
The "Safeguarding Swiss Neutrality" initiative, backed by Pro Suisse and members of the right-wing Swiss People's Party (UDC/SVP), seeks to define Swiss neutrality in the constitution as both "permanent" and "armed". It would also bar Switzerland from joining military or defence alliances except in the event of a direct attack on the country. The proposal further demands that Switzerland refrain from participating in foreign wars or imposing economic and diplomatic sanctions on belligerent states, except where required by the United Nations. Instead, the country should use its neutral status to provide mediation and other "good offices". Parliament overwhelmingly rejected the initiative. Although some lawmakers favoured a counterproposal, the idea was eventually dropped. — (LINK)
— Meanwhile, a referendum on easing restrictions on Swiss arms exports has been postponed. Parliament approved three amendments to the war materiel law last December, creating a more permissive framework for weapons exports, but opponents successfully forced a referendum. The delay angered the alliance behind the referendum campaign. In a statement, it accused the government of bowing to pressure from Swissmem, an industry group, which reportedly feared that holding the vote alongside the neutrality initiative would hurt its chances.
The second proposal on the ballot, the "For Secure Food" initiative, is much tighter. It seeks to promote the production and consumption of plant-based food and to increase Switzerland's degree of food self-sufficiency substantially from 50% to 70%. The food initiative is backed by environmental campaigners and several civil-society organisations. But all the main political parties have recommended a no vote. The Socialist Party, Greens and Green Liberals had supported a parliamentary counter-proposal. In its absence, however, they have joined the other major parties in opposing the initiative, arguing that it goes too far. Their voters are not necessarily following that advice. According to the first poll, 84% of Green supporters, 64% of Social Democratic voters and 55% of Green Liberal supporters intended to vote yes. — (LINK)
— Opposition to the "For Secure Food" initiative has grown even faster than for stricter neutrality. The proposal seeks to encourage the production of plant-based food to increase Switzerland's level of food self-sufficiency. Some 64% now oppose it, up 15 points, while support has fallen by 14 points to 33%.
