The Federal Democratic Union of Switzerland (German: Eidgenössisch-Demokratische Union, EDU; French: Union Démocratique Fédérale, UDF; Italian: Unione Democratica Federale, UDF; Romansch: Uniun Democrata Federala, UDF) is a national-conservative[2] political party in Switzerland. Its ideology is politically conservative, Protestant fundamentalist, and right-wing populist.[3] It is similar to the Christian right in the United States, and its top goals were to promote "biblical values" and oppose other cultures and values.[3]
Founded in 1975, the party's current president is Daniel Frischknecht who succeeded the long serving Hans Moser (2001-2020) in 2020. The EDU is a minor political party that polls around 1% of the vote and holds one seat in the Swiss National Council as of 2019.
