Swiss voters have overwhelmingly rejected a referendum proposal to introduce a guaranteed basic income. Under the proposal, adults,whether they work or not,would receive some twenty five hundred dollars per month and more than six hundred dollars for each child. Supporters of the plan said it would eradicate poverty and give people more freedom to choose careers,arguing that increased automation in the workplace is killing jobs. However,opponents claim the scheme would weaken the economy and naturally discourage people from working. A spokesperson for the right-wing Swiss People's Party added the plan would only work if Switzerland were an island,otherwise it would only spur immigration.
瑞士就无条件基本收入进行全民公投,提议遭压倒性否决。该项提案规定,无论工作与否,每名成年公民每月将获得约2500美元收入,儿童每个月收入也将超过600美金。提案支持者表示,该项保障性收入可消除贫困,提高公民就业自由,称自动化革命让失业率上升。然而,反对者称该项议案不利于经济发展,削弱公民工作动力。瑞士左翼党派“瑞士人民党”发言人表示,除非瑞士是一个孤立的岛国,这项提案才有通过的可能,否则瑞士将遭遇移民潮。

Now on the same day as the income plan referendum, nearly seventy percent of voters also backed a proposal to speed up the country's asylum procedures. One Swiss village is even ready to pay out just there and have to take in any newcomers. Peter Oliver reports. Imagine an idealist swiss village on a picturesque mountain,the residents here are pretty wealthy,wealthy enough you think to help a few people in need. But who free are misery,war,oppression,political oppression. we have our responsibility to help them, whether we want to or not. Well these villages have other ideas. The population of around 2,000 people,300 of which who are millionaires voted by a very slim majority to say no to taking in just ten refugees. And instead opting to pay a whopping quarter of a million euro in fines. It's an incredibly divisive issue here so much so that not one person we met was willing to discuss it with us. So I've come here to the Swiss Parliament to meet the man who's in charge of the town in question and ask him why shelling out with more appropriate than sheltering. Are you simply too rich for refugees?It's not that we're too rich. I think that the refugee policy in this country is wrong. We should be helping people closer to their homes,not getting them to risk their lives and pay traffickers to come thousands of kilometers away. What a sad and shameful way for your village to make news. To pay to be free of responsibility towards fellow human beings in need. That's not really going to work. Amazingly there's a church in Oberwil-lieli. But obviously understanding of Christianity completely lacking!What do you think about the whole system of of fines being in post?I think it's crazy personally but it's the law. I think it gives the impression that we are the super-rich,wanting to buy these refugees off. Our people are racist. We want to help those in need. The people of this rural community of being accused of being selfish. What they do agree on though is that there is a problem they just see a different solution to trying to tackle Europe's biggest refugee crisis since World War Two. Look, everyone was outraged when Hungary closed its borders to refugees. Now everyone is doing it. We have to address our refugee policy first. How many us and see refugees when you see people having crossed five safe countries before they get here. Is it because they are legitimate refugees or is it because they want to come to Switzerland?We need to help these people nearer to where they are from. The way things are going when there is peace,there will be no young left to rebuild their nations as they're all here.
就在举行公投的同一天,近70%选民同意加快庇护审批流程提案。瑞士某村庄为绝收难民甘愿缴纳罚款。请听皮特·奥利佛的报道。一处风景如画的瑞士小村庄,当地居民十分富裕,帮助几名难民实在绰绰有余。难民处境艰难,他们遭受了战争洗礼,政治压迫。无论愿意与否,我们都有责任帮助他们。但这些村庄另有打算。约2000名居民居住在此,其中300人是百万富翁,就是否接收这10名难民,最终以微弱优势投了否决票。小村同意缴纳25万欧元罚款。人们对这一问题产生强烈分歧,没人愿意和我们谈论此事。我们现在来到了瑞士议会大楼,并将访问该镇负责人,并就甘愿受罚不愿接收一事进行询问。对你们而言,这些罚款是不是不算什么?不是因为我们富有。我认为瑞士的难民政策大错特错。最终,我们要帮助难民回归家园,而不是让他们冒生命危险,通过人贩子来到数千公里以外的地方逃生。看到这样的新闻,该村庄真是让人丢尽了脸。对难民见死不救,通过缴纳罚款来逃避责任。这显然行不通。Oberwil-Lieli村庄竟然有一座教堂。但他们显然对基督教教义缺乏认识。您对这样的罚款机制怎么看?我认为这不可思议,但这就是法律规定的内容。这让我们觉得我们是富翁,我们是在买通这些难民。人们会认为我们是种族主义者。其实我们是想帮助他们。村庄居民被指自私自利。该镇居民认为,他们是在以一种不一样的方式解决问题,解决这场自二战以来欧洲最大的难民危机。匈牙利为难民关闭边境,所有人为之气愤。现在所有人都在这么做。我们首先要解决难民政策。许多难民穿越五国来到这里。因为他们是合法难民,还是因为他们想逃往瑞士?我们要帮助他们返回家园。当一切恢复正常,你就会发现没有帮助重建河山的年轻人,因为他们都生活在这里。
