Jean Monnet, the French statesman regarded as one of the EU’s founding fathers, came from a…

There were concerns that a “yes” vote would have effectively prevented Switzerland from imposing sanctions on Russia — unless they were approved by the United Nations Security Council, where Moscow has veto power. Russia openly backed the initiative, which was introduced by the right-wing Pro Switzerland organization. Pro Swizerland argued that Swiss neutrality should always be applied and “not adjusted on a case-by-case or ad hoc basis.” Switzerland has largely mirrored the EU’s sanctions against Moscow. The country expanded its sanctions list in mid-August, following the EU’s 20th sanctions package. Both the Swiss government and the Swiss Parliament had advised…
