Swiss People’s party believes its campaign focus on immigration and cost of living will increase its lead
The populist rightwing Swiss People’s party is expected to make gains as the country votes in federal elections, after a campaign season centred on the cost of living and immigration.
The parliamentarian said he could feel a difference on the campaign trail compared with the previous election in 2019. “You feel it’s much better for us,” he said in a phone interview, noting that “people are coming” to campaign events “and they want to talk with us more than four years ago”. The Greens acknowledge the challenge. “The cost of living is increasing, so it became the main topic for the population, unfortunately,” said Nicolas Walder, a member of the National Council and vice-president of the Swiss Greens.
