<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">Switzerland’s
$6.5 billion fighter jet plan narrowly passes referendum<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">Swiss
voters have approved a government plan to spend $6.5 billion
on new fighter aircraft by a margin of 8,670 votes, with the
two U.S. vendors in the race feeling the backlash of
anti-Trump sentiments. Sunday’s vote translates into a
razor-thin majority of 50.1 percent, or 1,605,700 votes, in
favor of the acquisition. There was 49.9 percent, or
1,597,030 votes, against. The voter turnout was 59.4
percent, according to figures published online Sunday
evening by the Federal Chancellery. Defence Minister Viola
Amherd told reporters she considers the result, however
close, a mandate to continue ongoing evaluations of the
Eurofighter, the Rafale, the F-18 Super Hornet and the
F-35A. “The vote represents a long-term investment in the
security of the Swiss population and infrastructure,” she
said. Prodded by reporters about the narrowness of the vote,
she said: “In a democracy it’s a given that we respect the
majority decision.” The Swiss legislature last week approved
the budget for the Air 2030 modernization program, which
includes $6.5 billion for 30-40 new aircraft and $2 billion
for a complementary ground-based, air defense system.
