history

Foundation phase

Lawyer Caspar Melliger and his colleagues founded the Catholic People's Party on October 18, 1896 in reformed Zurich , which took part in the National Council elections on October 25 of the same year and received 773 votes with candidate Ernst Feigenwinter in constituency I, Zurich. On January 26, 1902, Ernst Tschudy became a member of the Zurich District School Administration with around 6000 votes. The impact and successes of the party remained otherwise modest.

Founder of the CSP and first national councilor: Georg Baumberger

Following the 19th Zurich Catholic Day in the Tonhallesaal , the Christian Social Party (CSP) was founded on October 15, 1905 by NZN editor Georg Baumberger . The Catholic People's Party joined in founding the CSP. On April 1, 1906, the statutes and the party program were approved and a cantonal committee of fifteen was set up. As a result, new sections were formed in the canton of Zurich: 1906 in Winterthur , 1907 in Zurich and Oerlikon , 1908 in Altstetten , 1910 in Dietikon , 1912 in Rüti - Dürnten and 1917 in Hinwil , Horgen and Uster .

First successes

On April 13, 1913, the first proportional elections were held for the Grand City Council, today's Zurich City Council . The party won eight out of 125 seats. In 1916, Roman Käppeli was appointed extraordinary district attorney for the city of Zurich by the government council, making him the first representative of the CSP in a judicial authority. In the proportional representation to the Cantonal Council on July 8, 1917, the CSP won eight of 223 mandates with 6537 votes (6.4%); five from the city of Zurich and one each from Rüti, Wädenswil and Winterthur. In the elections to the National Council on October 26, 1919, the CSP and party founder Georg Baumberger captured one of 25 seats with 5876 votes (5.1%). With 7.1 percent of the voters on July 3, 1921, the CSP won 4 mandates from 60 council members of the large municipal council of Winterthur. At the beginning of 1920, the Christian social daily Hochwacht appeared for the first time in Winterthur . On May 16, 1923, Bernhard Widmer was elected as the first Christian Social President of the Grand City Council of Zurich.

On March 23, 1931, Josef Baldesberger was elected chief judge by the cantonal council as the first Christian Socialist and on April 3, 1933, Emil Buomberger, the first Catholic, was elected to the city council of Zurich. Conrad Bürgi became the first Christian Social President of the Zurich Cantonal Council on April 3 of the Landi year (1939).

Highlights

For the first time on June 29, 1953, Berthold Neidhart became a Christian Social President of the Zurich Higher Court . In the cantonal elections in 1959, the CSP reached its highest number of seats with 24 out of 180 seats. In the same year Urs Bürgi was elected to the first Christian Social Education Council after three ballots by the Cantonal Council. On December 5, 1960, party president Emil Duft became the first Christian-Social President of the National Council of Zurich . The first councilor of the CSP was on April 28, 1963 with a 300-vote lead over Paul Meierhans Urs Bürgi.

On July 7, 1963, 77,441 people voted against 47,887 people at the ballot box Yes for the Catholic Church Law, which had been drawn up by the CSP and recognized the Catholic Church in the Canton of Zurich under public law. This vote had an impact on the Swiss parliamentary elections in 1963 , in which the CSP Zurich reached its highest level with five of 35 seats (12.5%). In 1967 Erhard Schweri and 1970 with Max Stoffel were elected the first Zurich CSP federal judges and in 1969 Anton Heil was the first insurance judge. On May 1, 1968, Urs Bürgi became President of the Government Council and for the first time held the highest magistrate position in the Canton of Zurich as a Christian Socialist .

renaming

On June 13, 1971 the CSP was renamed in the Paulusakadmie Zurich with 150 to 32 votes in Christian Democratic People's Party as at the federal level. Three years later, the party placed 19 out of 125 seats in the Zurich municipal council under the name.

In the cantonal elections in the seventies and early eighties, the CVP voter share leveled off between 11 and 11.5 percent. With 23 seats in 1979 at 11.3%, the CVP achieved the same parliamentary group size as in 1963. In 1987 it fell to 8.8% (17 seats), in 1991 to 7.7% (13 seats) and in 1995 to 6.4% ( 11 mandates), in 1999 to 6.7% (13 mandates), 2003 to 6.4% (12 mandates), 2007 to 7.3% (13 mandates) and 2011 to 5.1% (9 mandates). In 1979, the CVP Canton of Zurich had three seats in the National Council, and from 1987 only two. In 1995 it was 2 of 34 mandates for 4.9%, in 1999 it was 5.1% (2 mandates), in 2003 it was 5.4% (2 mandates), in 2007 it was 7.6% (3 mandates) and in 2011 it was 4, 8% (2 mandates).

Despite the decrease in the votes, more local sections emerged in the name of the CVP, such as Dietlikon (1977), Bachenbülach (1980), Eglisau (1983) and in December 1985 the 100th section was founded with the local party CVP Dielsdorf . The intermittent decline in the proportion of voters, however, had no effect on the executive authorities elected according to the majority system . On March 2, 1986, the CVP appointed Willy Küng and Wolfgang Nigg, two city councilors in Zurich, but in 1993 Willy Küng no longer stood for the CVP. Around 1990 the CVP was represented in 72 of 171 municipalities with 126 seats and in the election of government councilor Peter Wiederkehr in 1993 , Ernst Buschor prevailed against the Green Party . After ten years of service, CVP member Hans Hollenstein was only re-elected to office two years later .

organization

According to its statutes, based on Art. 60 ff. Of the Civil Code, the party is an association with its seat in Zurich and is an independent member of the Swiss Christian Democratic People's Party. The CVP Canton of Zurich comprises the cantonal party, the district parties and the local parties. In addition, local parties in large cities (Zurich and Winterthur) can have sections at district level . The party has around 3500 members.

The organs of the cantonal party are the cantonal assembly of delegates (DV), the cantonal board , the presidium , the control commission and the cantonal arbitration tribunal. The assembly of delegates, which for example drafts the cantonal and federal slogans and elects the members of the executive committee, is the highest body of the party. The Cantonal Board is the governing body and the Presidium is the managing body, subject to the powers of the Cantonal Board. This consists of President Nicole Baradun-Gross , Vice President and CFO Josef Wiederkehr and Vice President Markus Hungerbühler as well as Philipp Kutter , Raphael Meyer, Charles Schnyder and Martin Missfelder. The Presidium is supported by the management, which is formed by General Secretary Julia Hirzel and Managing Director of the CVP Cantonal Parliamentary Group Stefano Kunz. The CVP Canton of Zurich is represented in the Cantonal Council with 9 members and is organized as a separate section. The parliamentary group is chaired by Yvonne Bürgin .

The Junge CVP Kanton Zürich is affiliated to the cantonal party. This section of the Junge CVP is headed by a seven-member board, which is chaired by Adrian Moser. There is also a section of the CVP women in the canton of Zurich , which was founded in 1963 and is headed by Karin Geser. Furthermore, the members of the CVP who have reached the age of 60 organize themselves in the group CVP60 +.
