The Partei National Orientierter Schweizer (PNOS) (English: Party of Nationally Oriented Swiss) is a far-right völkisch political party in Switzerland founded in 2000. It was classified as "extremist" by the Swiss federal police in 2001.[1]
The party's course was initially imitating that of the 1930s National Front with a clearly National Socialist ideology (dubbed "eidgenössisch-sozialistisch" by the PNOS) but has since been "modernized" in accordance with the vocabulary of Germany's Neue Rechte.
The party is not represented in any cantonal parliament. Its activities are mostly confined to the Swiss German speaking parts of the western Swiss plateau. It has one representative in the municipal parliament of Langenthal, canton of Berne (population 14,300), elected in 2004. In 2005, another member was elected to the municipal executive council of Günsberg, canton of Solothurn (population 1,100).
