WEBVTT 00:00.471 --> 00:08.280 The sustainability initiative "No 10 Million Switzerland!" will be put to the vote on June 14, 2026. 00:08.280 --> 00:18.933 The initiative aims to limit population growth in Switzerland to ten million by 2050 with clear measures to restrict immigration. 00:18.933 --> 00:24.135 The initiative committee argues that even if the sustainability initiative is accepted, 00:24.135 --> 00:27.458 immigration will not be stopped completely. 00:27.458 --> 00:31.859 National Councillor and entrepreneur Thomas Aeschi, Baar (ZG): 00:31.859 --> 00:36.472 "The sustainability initiative ensures moderate immigration: 00:36.472 --> 00:42.565 The permanent resident population must not exceed the 10 million mark by 2050. 00:42.565 --> 00:49.193 This means that around 40,000 people and skilled workers could still immigrate every year." 00:49.193 --> 00:55.757 This would be similar to the situation before the free movement of persons came into force with the EU, when immigration 00:55.757 --> 00:59.525 to Switzerland was still controlled by annual quotas. 00:59.525 --> 01:05.100 The companies also got their skilled workers back then - but without mass immigration. 01:05.100 --> 01:09.540 With a little more effort, but in the interests of Switzerland as a whole. 01:09.540 --> 01:15.353 In its arguments, the initiative committee shows how the infrastructure of small Switzerland 01:15.353 --> 01:19.240 is being overburdened by massive immigration. 01:19.240 --> 01:22.432 It puts forward the following arguments: 01:22.432 --> 01:28.213 ● Due to massive immigration, 1 m2 of green space is concreted over every second! 01:28.213 --> 01:32.574 The beautiful landscape is disappearing. Nature and ecology are under pressure. 01:32.574 --> 01:38.298 In an emergency, only every second person in Switzerland could be fed with local food. 01:38.298 --> 01:45.341 ● Congestion hours on Swiss national roads increased by 14 percent in just one year from 2023 to 2024, because 01:45.341 --> 01:49.631 more and more inhabitants also means more and more traffic. 01:49.631 --> 01:56.183 The consequences are stressed drivers who are late for their appointments and thus also burden the economy. 01:56.183 --> 01:59.754 But even switching to public transport does not save the day. 01:59.754 --> 02:05.342 The crowds on buses and streetcars are getting bigger and bigger at peak times and there is no room 02:05.342 --> 02:08.133 left even in first class on central rail routes. 02:08.133 --> 02:12.615 ● Massive immigration is leading to a housing shortage and overpricing of housing, 02:12.615 --> 02:15.352 despite the push for housing construction. 02:15.352 --> 02:21.232 Rents rose by 20 % across Switzerland between 2009 and 2023. 02:21.232 --> 02:26.205 Fewer and fewer people can afford to pay rents in Switzerland. 02:26.205 --> 02:30.345 ● When it comes to asylum, many people think of taking in vulnerable families. 02:30.345 --> 02:36.280 In 2023, however, 71 percent of applicants were single men. 02:36.280 --> 02:40.769 ● The number of crimes has risen by 8% within one year (2023 to 2024) 02:40.769 --> 02:48.288 Foreigners committed 54 percent of all crimes and four out of five prison inmates are foreigners. 02:48.288 --> 02:52.860 ● More and more school classes are dominated by pupils with a migrant background. 02:52.860 --> 02:56.522 This leads to a lowering of the educational level for the whole class. 02:56.522 --> 03:03.900 The results of the 2022 PISA study show: One in four Swiss school leavers has difficulties with reading. 03:03.900 --> 03:11.020 ● According to the Swiss government portal, 88.3% of people in the asylum sector - around 03:11.020 --> 03:15.640 38,400 people - were supported by social assistance. 03:15.640 --> 03:23.104 Although they have never worked in Switzerland, they benefit from the unemployment benefits that the Swiss have saved. 03:23.104 --> 03:28.064 They often also bring their extended family to Switzerland, which is then also financed. 03:28.064 --> 03:34.489 Instead of replacing missing skilled workers, they place an additional burden on the infrastructure, as they themselves need 03:34.489 --> 03:39.080 skilled workers to supply them - which Switzerland then lacks. 03:39.080 --> 03:47.200 All these points clearly show that Switzerland's infrastructure is completely overwhelmed by this massive population growth. 03:47.200 --> 03:53.760 Switzerland's population has grown 16 times faster than Germany's since 2000. 03:53.760 --> 04:04.433 Small Switzerland, which has about half the population of Austria, urgently needs to be protected from overloading its resources. 04:04.433 --> 04:10.381 After all, quality of life and prosperity decline when the environment suffers, transportation and roads are 04:10.381 --> 04:18.249 overloaded, there is a housing shortage, crime increases and educational institutions and social services reach their limits. 04:18.249 --> 04:23.392 A graphic on the Sustainability Initiative website shows what 100,000 additional 04:23.392 --> 04:27.991 inhabitants need in terms of resources per year: 04:27.991 --> 04:36.840 As much additional energy as 55 large wind turbines or 21 percent of the annual production of the Beznau nuclear power plant. 04:36.840 --> 04:46.830 An increase in traffic of 53,157 passenger cars and 34 SBB locomotives with rail cars and 75 new public transport buses. 04:46.830 --> 04:53.681 In education, 114 new school buildings need to be built, there are 595 additional school classes and 04:53.681 --> 04:57.780 780 new full-time primary school teachers are needed. 04:57.780 --> 05:01.169 An additional 67,000 tons of waste are generated. 05:01.169 --> 05:04.835 Agriculture loses 1 m2 of land per second. 05:04.835 --> 05:08.780 45,000 additional apartments are needed. 05:08.780 --> 05:17.640 The healthcare system needs an additional 468 doctors, 420 hospital beds and 2073 nurses per year. 05:17.640 --> 05:25.873 Before the introduction of the partial free movement of persons in 2002 and the full free movement of persons in 2007 05:25.873 --> 05:30.944 with the EU , the Swiss economy grew by 1.83 percent annually. 05:30.944 --> 05:35.520 Since then, annual growth has fallen to 0.60 percent. 05:35.520 --> 05:40.064 In Switzerland, migration is a recurring topic in referendums. 05:40.064 --> 05:48.482 A majority of Swiss voters approved the popular initiative "Against mass immigration" back in 2014. 05:48.482 --> 05:56.580 The initiative called for immigration to be controlled through annual maximum numbers and quotas for foreign nationals. 05:56.580 --> 06:01.360 However, according to the initiators, parliament has still not implemented the will of the people. 06:01.360 --> 06:08.567 At this point it is also worth mentioning the incorrect prediction made by the Federal Council in the 06:08.567 --> 06:13.280 vote on the free movement of persons on May 21, 2000. 06:13.280 --> 06:20.348 At the time, the Federal Council wrote in the voting booklet that no more than 8,000 to 10,000 people per year 06:20.348 --> 06:27.712 would immigrate from EU countries if the Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons was accepted. 06:27.712 --> 06:33.144 However, around 100,000 people are currently streaming into Switzerland, which is around ten 06:33.144 --> 06:37.120 times more than the Federal Council forecast! 06:37.120 --> 06:46.229 If the Federal Council's promises had been true, only around 176,000 EU immigrants would have arrived 06:46.229 --> 06:51.820 between 2002 and 2024 instead of over one million! 06:51.820 --> 06:58.942 It is clear from the above facts and considerations that immigration, as it stands today, is having a 06:58.942 --> 07:03.626 massive negative impact on Switzerland and its population. 07:03.626 --> 07:11.314 Dr. Rainer Rothfuß, crisis researcher and expert in geopolitics, shows in his lecture on 9 November 2018 that the problems 07:11.314 --> 07:19.416 that lead to increased flight and displacement can be solved 100 times more effectively at the root on the ground. 07:19.416 --> 07:27.022 We need to shed light on who triggers, supports and finances the wars and crises in the affected regions. 07:27.022 --> 07:36.064 Sticking to such an obviously unrealistic and destructive policy also prevents the development of sustainable solutions. 07:36.064 --> 07:43.742 It is often more sustainable to invest the money in local aid - as Swiss politician Luzi Stamm 07:43.742 --> 07:48.672 pointed out at the 12th AZK on November 28, 2015. 07:48.672 --> 07:57.644 You can find his lecture entitled "Simply opening borders is irresponsible!" in the blue box below the program. 07:57.644 --> 08:01.536 However, this realization is not being implemented in global politics. 08:01.536 --> 08:07.336 The statement by UN Secretary-General António Guterres: 08:07.336 --> 08:17.764 "We must convince Europeans that migration is inevitable and that it is multi-ethnic societies (...) that generate prosperity." 08:17.764 --> 08:22.300 Unfortunately, this prophecy has turned out to be the opposite in many places. 08:22.300 --> 08:30.272 It is obvious that the almost unconditional opening of borders in Europe has destabilizing effects. 08:30.272 --> 08:35.717 Was the good will of the people to help other people in need and to take foreigners 08:35.717 --> 08:38.580 into their own country deliberately exploited? 08:38.580 --> 08:42.700 And is there possibly a specific agenda behind this? 08:42.700 --> 08:50.321 This assumption is supported by Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, the former head of the Vatican Bank IOR, when he explains at a 08:50.321 --> 08:58.176 conference in the Vatican that the plan of a globalist elite is behind the demographic collapse of the West. 08:58.176 --> 09:04.200 They want to deliberately cause crises in order to be able to introduce a New World Order. 09:04.200 --> 09:13.856 The 2030 Agenda, which was proclaimed at the United Nations summit in New York, also points to the plan of a globalist elite. 09:13.856 --> 09:22.269 Point 16, "Promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development", describes how traditions and any 09:22.269 --> 09:31.820 individuality of peoples should be prevented through flight and civil wars so that a unified world society can emerge. 09:31.820 --> 09:38.340 So the aim of the global power elite seems to be to mix peoples and nations. 09:38.340 --> 09:44.840 It is claimed that global challenges have arisen for which new solutions need to be created. 09:44.840 --> 09:52.742 In the chaos, people are demanding better protected external borders, tougher police action and stronger surveillance. 09:52.742 --> 10:00.160 Thus, the destabilization of nations is the best prerequisite for the introduction of the New World Order. 10:00.160 --> 10:07.559 Reference should therefore be made both to the agenda of deliberately encouraged mass migration to mix 10:07.559 --> 10:15.700 and weaken nations and to the deliberately staged wars, which are another main cause of migration. 10:15.700 --> 10:21.755 In the migration crisis, it is therefore also important to focus on the real string-pullers instead of allowing 10:21.755 --> 10:28.608 ourselves to be divided and directing our hatred towards migrants, who are also victims of the ruling elite. 10:28.608 --> 10:35.421 Help to educate people of all nations about the real reasons behind the migration problems and take joint 10:35.421 --> 10:39.740 action against the agenda of the global power elite. 10:39.740 --> 10:47.600 "All mankind is one family ... I consider no one my enemy ... All are my friends. 10:47.600 --> 10:52.977 I want to enlighten and change hearts." (Mahatma Gandhi) 10:52.977 --> 11:00.194 If you want migration to be regulated and resources in Switzerland to be used sustainably instead of 11:00.194 --> 11:07.843 being exploited, vote YES to the sustainability initiative "No 10 million Switzerland!" on June 14, 2026.
