The Federal Democratic Union Aargau , or EDU Aargau for short , is a Christian - conservative Swiss party . As the Aargau cantonal party of the EDU Switzerland , it belongs to the religious right .
history
From 1997 to 2001 the EDU was represented by Erwin Plüss from Rothrist in the Aargau Grand Council - which at that time consisted of 200 members. When the Grand Council was reduced from 200 to 140 members, the EDU lost this mandate. Only when the biproportional allocation procedure to Pukelsheim ( double Pukelsheim ) was introduced for the 2009 elections did the EDU win two seats in the cantonal parliament again. In 2012 and 2016 she was able to hold these seats.
Content profile
According to its own statements, the EDU Aargau orients its policy on basic biblical values. She sees in reverence and responsibility for the Creator the basis for "true justice, freedom and human dignity".
Socio-politically , the party belongs to the conservative camp. She sees marriage and family as the “basic cell” of society, which must be protected from collapse and financially relieved. A major concern of the EDU Aargau is the "protection of life " and human dignity . To this end, as many suicides and abortions as possible must be prevented through preventive measures and offers of help for those at risk.
In order to increase social justice , the EDU does not want any further tax breaks for the highest incomes and no lowering of the premium reductions for health insurance companies. In addition, the EDU rejects subsidies for childcare outside the family by the canton and municipalities. From their point of view, childcare is not a government responsibility, but a parent's responsibility and leads to higher taxes. The EDU would also like to adjust child and training allowances to the inflation rate.
In terms of economic policy , it positions itself liberally and advocates a social market economy and a lean, strong and secure state. In order to keep the canton's finances in balance, the EDU wants to consistently save, reduce debts and then lower taxes. In addition, the EDU Zurich wants tax fraud and evasion to be made unattractive.
In terms of environmental policy , the EDU Aargau does not see the real problem with CO 2 emissions or climate change , but generally with the high consumption of resources and energy. For example, it advocates the replacement of climate cents and CO 2 tax with the purpose- related , time-limited incentive tax on the mineral oil tax for fossil fuels. This income is intended to promote renewable energy sources and improve energy efficiency. In order to secure the energy supply in Switzerland for the future, the EDU would like to expand local hydropower plants .
In terms of security policy , the EDU Aargau relies on the canton police, whose target stock is to be replenished. She also spoke out in favor of a consistent implementation of the deportation and custody initiative .
