New front
The New Front is the name of a grouping of the front movement of the 1930s, whose representatives mainly came from an elitist academic milieu.
The New Front was originally a splinter group of students from the young liberal environment who increasingly came into opposition to the FDP , the party of their fathers. It was founded after the third Swiss liberal democratic conference on June 21 and 22, 1930. Its representatives saw themselves as intellectual pioneers of a political renewal based on the fascist model and, in contrast to the proletarian National Front , presented themselves as emphatically elitist. In 1933 the New Front merged with the National Front to form the Kampfbund Neue und Nationale Front , which was later called the National Front. The Neue Front included students from the two Zurich universities such as Eduard Fueter and Robert Tobler , both editors of the Zurich student , but also studied academics such as Hans Oehler .
