Swiss Population Cap Losing Support; Indonesia Free Meals Agency Searched
In Switzerland, polling shows opposition to a proposed 10 million population cap has exceeded 50% for the first time ahead of a national vote. In Indonesia, prosecutors conducted a search of the headquarters of the agency overseeing President Prabowo Subianto's flagship free school meals program. Both developments carry significant political implications for their respective governments.
