The Swiss Are Working On A Pro-Neutrality Referendum! | With Dr. Stephan Rietiker

🌟Great news! An initiative committee in Switzerland is working on making a pro-neutrality referendum a reality. They started gathering signatures in November 2022 and have 18 months to collect 100,000 signatures. If they succeed, the national government has to hold a vote on weather or not to amend the constitution with a very clear definition of their neutrality, including the rejection of one-sided sanctions. This is going to be interesting.

I'm talking about this with Dr. Stephan Rietiker, who is a Swiss/US dual national, a business leader, entrepreneur, and a licensed physician in the United Staes and Switzerland. He currently manages his own longevity and well-bing focused company called “EpiLunar Partners”. He is also the founder of “InsideCorona”, a platform that has been critically evaluating government measures and policies during the pandemic. Since Oct 2022 he has been serving as the president of Pro-Switzerland, a libertarian NGO and think-tank strongly advocating for independent national and business oriented policies. As such he is also a member of the initiative committee to create a public referendum on strengthening Switzerland’s neutrality.

If you are Swiss, you can sign the initiative here: https://neutralitaet-ja.ch
