In his recent column, the geographer Pierre Dessemontet attempts a perilous rhetorical tour de force: to convince the people that the problem of Swiss overpopulation will evaporate on its own. According to him, between falling birth rates and an ebbing of migration, the spectre of 10 million inhabitants would be nothing more than a «statistical adjustment». For Swiss Sovereignty, this analysis is not only detached from reality, but it is also based on statistically dishonest omissions.

1. The mirage of slowing migration

M. Dessemontet is calling for a cap on immigration on the pretext that our European neighbours are ageing. This ignores the pull of the wage differential and the complete permeability of our borders. In 2023, the net migration balance exceeded 100,000 people. Claiming we have gone «most of the way» is a fallacy: each additional inhabitant exacerbates the saturation of infrastructure, the explosion of rents, and the collapse of our energy security.

2. The taboo of birth and fertility

The author notes the collapse in the birth rate (10,000 fewer births per year since 2021) but refuses to question the causes. How can this sharp decline, coinciding with the post-Covid period, be explained? The omission of data on reproductive health is flagrant. Why hide the potential impact of mass injections on male and female fertility? If our birth rate is collapsing for public health reasons, compensating for this disaster with mass immigration is not a solution, it is a betrayal of our national substance.

3. The dogma of extensive growth

The argument of a million jobs created is the most fallacious. We are being lauded for a global GDP increase, but the GDP per capita stagnant. We are importing labour to keep on life support an economic model that no longer creates real wealth for the Swiss citizen, but only environmental and social damage.

4. A choice of destiny, not fate

M. Dessemontet concludes with a «Requiem». In reality, it is the requiem for Swiss quality of life that he is composing. Claiming that Switzerland with 10 million will not happen when we are already touching 9.2 million amounts to political anaesthesia.

The «No to 10 Million Swiss!» initiative is an act of self-defence. It demands that we stop being subjected to trends and finally steer our own destiny. Demographics are not weather to be observed; they are the bedrock of our sovereignty.

Conclusion: Let's not be lulled into complacency. On 14 June, the Swiss will have to choose between the resignation of a geographer and the survival of their model. Saying stop today is ensuring that Switzerland will remain Switzerland.
