Happy Friday, everyone! Hope you're all set for the weekend. Before you log off, here are three stories from Switzerland you shouldn't have missed this week: 1️⃣ Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter described US Vice-President JD Vance’s speech, which criticised Europe’s “retreating freedom of expression”, as “liberal, in a very Swiss sense”. She later clarified she was “only talking about one aspect of Vance’s statements,” specifically about listening to the population and guaranteeing freedom of expression. 2️⃣ The Swiss government has recognised the persecution of Sinti and Yenish travellers in the 20th century as a crime against humanity. 3️⃣ Swiss cantons and trade unions have agreed on domestic measures to protect wages ahead of a treaty with the European Union (EU). See you next week! 👋

Happy Sunday, everyone! 🗳️🇨🇭 Today, Swiss citizens have rejected an initiative by the Young Greens to revamp the country’s economy and bring it into line with “planetary boundaries”. The result was called quite confidently in advance, which is rare, but surveys had predicted that the initiative would be rejected. Just an hour after voting ended, a majority of the country’s 26 cantons had said “no” to the initiative. Final results show that 69.8% of voters said rejected the initative. Here you can read all about today's vote: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-politics/swiss-voters-skeptical-about-ecological-overhaul-of-the-economy/88836726 Check out our interactive map to see how each canton voted.👉 https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-politics/february-9-2025-votes-the-results-from-across-switzerland/88767633
Hey everyone! Just like every Friday, here’s your weekly news roundup from SWI swissinfo.ch 🗞️ 1️⃣ The Swiss government has delayed publishing a study on Chinese intimidation of Uyghurs and Tibetans in Switzerland, according to the _Tages-Anzeiger_. 2️⃣ A major opinion poll by gfs.bern shows that the political views of young men and women in Switzerland are drifting apart. 3️⃣ The new government jet is too big for the hangars at Belp Airport, so it’s being moved to the military airfield in Payerne, which will cost extra. That’s all from us for this week. Have a great weekend! 👋
