The Conservative Party (K) is a value-conservative and rule-of-law-oriented party in Latvia. It primarily defines itself through its fight against corruption, the strengthening of national security, and a clear commitment to Western values and transatlantic integration.

Values and Worldview

The Conservatives' foundation rests on a modern patriotism that merges Latvian traditions with an unwavering commitment to the rule of law. Their vision of humanity emphasizes individual citizen responsibility, while the state functions as an efficient, transparent service provider. The party views Latvian language and culture as the existential core of the state, yet rejects pure clientelism. Its driving force is the moral renewal of politics by breaking away from the oligarchic structures of the past.

Policy Priorities

The agenda prioritizes rigorous judicial reform, combating the shadow economy, and bolstering both internal and external security. Its target audience primarily consists of the young, urban middle class and intellectuals who seek to combine economic freedom with a conservative identity. In social policy, it advocates for targeted support of traditional family models. On foreign policy, it demands a firm stance against Russia and maximum integration into NATO and EU security architectures.

Role in the Political System

Within the Latvian party system, the party positions itself as the moral corrective on the right flank of the political center. Its relationship with institutions is characterized by a strong will for reform: it frequently deems the judicial system in need of reform to eliminate political influence. Strategically, it positions itself as a reliable partner for Western alliances, though internally it often faces tensions with established forces, whom it accuses of lacking transparency. Its ultimate goal is to transform Latvia into a modern, corruption-free Nordic state.
