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 political party in Switzerland. Its ideology is politically conservative, Protestant fundamentalist, and right-wing populist. It is similar to the Christian right in the United States, and its top goals are to promote "biblical values" and oppose other cultures and values. 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 two seats in the Swiss National Council as of 2023.
