The Progressive Citizens' Party in Liechtenstein (Template:Lang-de, FBP) is a national-conservative[2] political party in Liechtenstein. The FBP is one of the two major political parties in Liechtenstein, along with the liberal-conservative Patriotic Union. Founded in 1918 along with the now-defunct Christian-Social People's Party, it is the oldest extant party in Liechtenstein.[7]
History
The party was established in 1918 by middle class citizens and members of the agricultural community as a response to the formation of the Christian-Social People's Party (VP).[8] It won the majority of the elected seats in the 1918 elections,[9] but the VP formed a government.[10]
The VP won elections in 1922, January 1926 and April 1926, but the FBP won the 1928 elections, and became the party of government until 1938,[10] with Josef Hoop serving as Prime Minister until 1945. In 1938 the FBP allowed the Patriotic Union to join it in a coalition government. The two parties governed in coalition until the 1997 elections,[11] after which the Patriotic Union formed a government. The FBP won the 2001 elections and its leader Otmar Hasler became Prime Minister. Following the 2005 elections the coalition was renewed,[11] with Hasler remaining Prime Minister. The VU's Klaus Tschütscher held the post between 2009 and 2013, after which FBP leader Adrian Hasler became Prime Minister.
Ideology & Policy
Compared to the Patriotic Union (VU), members of the FBP are more inclined to support LGBT rights with more of them (10 to 2) supporting the motion to introduce a registered partnership law in October 2007, compared to members of the former (6 to 4).[12] They also voted en bloc with the Free List (FL) party on 6 May 2022 to narrowly defeat a proposed legislation (i.e., Amendment to the Article 25 of the Partnership Act) that would have limited adoption and reproductive rights of same-sex couples.[13][14][15] On 21 September 2022, a motion to ask the Landtag to introduce legislation that would legalize same-sex civil marriage was submitted with all 10 sitting members of the FBP as signatories[16][17][18] and would be discussed in the upcoming November plenary session.[19][20]
A survey conducted by the Youth wing of the Free List party, leading up to the 2021 general election, resulted in most of the responding candidates (18/20) from the FBP answering positively (or mostly positively) to the following question: Should same-sex couples have the same rights as heterosexual couples in all areas?[21] A poll conducted in February 2021 by the Liechtenstein Institute showed that a large majority of responding voters from the FBP (either 73 or 74%) answered positively when asked that same question.[22]
