The Swiss on a Sunday referendum with a very few advantage voted for restriction of immigration to Europe and European Union.
This referendum was organised by Far- right wing populists . Their unexpected victory could cast a distrust over Swiss relations with European Union and European Commision.
Anti-immigrant eurosceptic political movements and groups across the Europe hails the Swiss choice and urges to impose strict quotas on newcomers in own countries. These radical political groups also encourage to stop the immigration to Europe and European Union .
Switzerland is surrounded by EU countries and has strong trade treatments with this political bloc although has no intentions become a member of EU.
The referendum split Switzerland east to west, with the French –speaking west voting against the quotas onimmigration to Europe and the German-speaking east part voting for clampdown. In Switzerland lives about one million EU citizens, recently most of them are coming from neighbouring countries like Germany, Italy, France and Portugal.
