Views on the initiative to curb immigration
swissinfo asked members of the public what they thought of the "against mass immigration” initiative.

I have a wealth of experience as a journalist working in Switzerland and enjoy producing videos, articles and podcasts on a range of subjects, recently focused mainly on politics and the environment. Born in the UK, I studied law at Nottingham University, then went on to attend the first-ever post-graduate radio journalism college in London. After working as a radio journalist in the UK and then Switzerland from 1984 to 1995, I returned to the UK to complete a post-graduate diploma in film at Bournemouth Film School. I have been working as a video journalist ever since.
Switzerland’s immigration policy is based on the free movement of people between this country and the European Union and limited access from third countries. The government fears that acceptance of the initiative would jeopardise its bilateral agreements with the European Union. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch)
