Switzerland

The right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP) is set to win 29 percent of the vote in Sunday’s parliamentary elections in Switzerland, according to the first forecast reported by AFP. The party thus stands to continue to be the country’s largest party. The SVP is known for its right-wing national conservative line. In connection with the election campaign, the party has conducted a campaign that has been marked by anti-immigrant rhetoric and promises to fight the “woke madness”. In addition, the party will work to prevent Switzerland’s population from reaching 10 million. The population forecast for Switzerland this year is at 8.7 million. /ritzau/
