Swiss voters have decisively rejected several key initiatives in a nationwide vote.
The Green Party's Environmental Responsibility Initiative failed to gain support, with only around 30% voting in favor.
Proposals for a minimum wage were also turned down in the cantons of Solothurn and Basel-Landschaft, though the latter saw a closer margin.
In Bern, a solar energy expansion initiative was overwhelmingly defeated, while Schaffhausen voters rejected tax cuts for electric vehicles.
Additionally, Luzern voters dismissed plans for a new theater, citing concerns over its size and location.
These results reflect a broader reluctance among voters to embrace changes perceived as costly or disruptive.
