(Swiss Info) A third of the Swiss population say they feel disturbed by people perceived as “different,” with a fifth mentioning Muslims in particular, according to a government study.
The Federal Statistical Office said on Thursday that tolerance had increased slightly but so had violence against strangers since the previous survey on intercultural coexistence in Switzerland in 2018.
It found that 58% of respondents considered racism an important social problem, down one percentage point, and 64% thought the integration of migrants was working well, nine percentage points higher. Almost 70% were in favour of family reunification, eight percentage points more than in 2018.
