Time Measures: People and Eu Divorce

time measures: Brussels so far has shown scant flexibility on the free movement of people the principle underpinning Swiss access to the single market so as not to encourage Britain as it negotiates its EU divorce, according to CBC. In an effort to fight unemployment, Switzerland at times of economic upheaval can adopt for a limited time measures to promote the hiring of local people The lack of upper limits on immigration to a country of 8.3 million, whose population is already a quarter foreign, prompted the right-wing Swiss People Party to assert that politicians had defied the people will in a 2014 referendum. After parliament passed the new immigration law, the focus will now shift to how the EU responds. The SVP, the largest party in parliament, has accused other parties of kowtowing to Brussels and shirking their duty to stand up for Swiss sovereignty.

Its members held up signs protesting the final vote reading constitutional breach and mass immigration continues. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
