Switzerland has voted overwhelmingly to keep its neutrality flexible, rejecting a hard-right proposal to enshrine a stricter definition into the constitution by 70.1%.⁣ ⁣ Opponents called the initiative 'pro-Russian.' Supporters said it protected Swiss sovereignty. Voters sided firmly with the status quo.⁣ ⁣ 'Switzerland was neutral yesterday, it will be neutral today and it will remain neutral,' said Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis.⁣ ⁣ The vote was triggered by concern over Bern backing EU sanctions on Russia.⁣ ⁣ #Switzerland #Referendum #Neutrality #EU ⁣
