Switzerland towards the flop of the referendum on the minimum wage.
Today the Swiss will be called to the polls to vote on a referendum promoted by the unions in favor of a minimum wage of 22 francs an hour, 3250 euros a month, which would lead the Confederation to have the minimum wage "highest in the world".
However, the referendum, opposed by the government, should not exceed the quorum: 64% of voters are against and the number is growing sharply, compared to only 30% in favour, the remaining 6% being undecided. For the promoters of the referendum, "it is a shame that in a rich country like Switzerland, one worker in ten earns less than 22 francs an hour", for the government, on the other hand, it is not a good idea since "it risks making jobs disappear whose salary is less than that figure"
In addition, the Swiss will also have to pronounce on the popular initiative against pedophiles, which demands that anyone convicted of pedophilia can no longer work in contact with minors, and on a referendum against the purchase of 22 new fighter planes for the 'army. According to rumors, the initiative against pedophiles "should be accepted", unlike the one against the federal law on the fund for the purchase of the Gripen fighter plane, the outcome of which appears uncertain.
