The right-wing People’s Party (SVP) has unveiled new proposals to try and halt the free movement of people around the European Union.
Vice President Christoph Blocher made the shock statement after a parliamentary panel rejected the government’s threat to impose quotas on the number of foreigners entering the country next year.
Instead, they opted for a compromise based around hiring workers with a preference towards local people.
Mr Bolcher said: "If we see that the law to implement (a 2014 referendum to curb immigration) does not massively reduce immigration, the SVP will launch an initiative to end the free movement of people.” Express.
