ZURICH - The Swiss government on Tuesday urged voters to reject a referendum push by the right-wing Swiss People’s Party to end an accord with the European Union on the free movement of citizens.
It could also end up kicking neutral Switzerland, which is not a member of the EU, out of the Schengen system of passport-free travel and the Dublin accord on handling asylum requests, officials said in a statement ahead of a news conference. Business leaders say they need skilled foreign workers, and imposing limits on EU citizens would violate the free-movement accord that enhances Swiss access to the single market.
Its proposal under the Swiss system of direct democracy would allow a year to negotiate an end to free movement, but chances of this are practically nil given the EU’s hard line on a key policy tenet.
