Are you for or against this migration stopper?
Should Switzerland invoke a special clause in order to stop the flow of migrant workers from EU countries? As part of a key labour accord on the free movement of people this tool can be implemented if a certain mass has been reached.
The clause, which the Swiss cabinet already called into effect a year ago for immigrants from the eight new EU member states, is controversial. Proponents argue that the government should send a clear signal to show that it takes the concerns of the population seriously. Opponents warn of potentially negative effects on Switzerland’s relationship with the EU. What do you think?
