Swiss voters say no to stricter neutrality rules

Swiss voters say no to stricter neutrality rules

Swiss voters rejected a plan on Sunday to write a stricter definition of neutrality into the constitution, with about 70% voting against, final official results showed.

The result keeps the government free to impose sanctions and work with NATO.
