The Federal Democratic Union of Switzerland (Switzerland: Eidgenössisch-Demokratische Union, Union Démocratique Fédérale, Unione Democratica Federale) is a political party in Switzerland. It was founded in 1975 as a split of the Nationale Aktion, and in 1991 it entered the Swiss National Council. The EDU is a party which is socially conservative, and skeptical toward the European Union. The party opposes equal rights for homosexual couples. Furthermore, the party opposes abortion, euthanasia, and liberal heroin policies. In May 2007 the party became a member of the European Christian Political Movement (ECPM).
