1994 Swiss referendums
This article is part of a series on the |
Switzerland portal |
Thirteen referendums were held in
popular initiative "for the protection of the alpine region from through traffic" and an amendment to the aeronautical law. All five were approved by voters.[2] The second set of referendums was held on 12 June on federal resolutions on an article on the Swiss Federal Constitution on the promotion of culture and a review of the procedure for naturalising young immigrants, as well as a federal law on Swiss troops in peacekeeping operations. Whilst the resolutions were both approved by a majority of voters, they did not receive the approval from the majority of cantons, so were rejected, as was the law on troops.[1]
The next two referendums were held on 25 September on abolishing price reductions on breadstuffs and an amendment to the
popular initiative "for a healthy health insurance". The two laws were approved and the initiative rejected.[3]
