The Nacionālā apvienība (NA) is a national-conservative and right-wing populist party in Latvia. As a guardian of Latvian identity, it combines staunch nationalism with economic liberal approaches and a deep skepticism towards the Soviet legacy and Russian influence.
Values and Ideology
The NA's foundation is built upon the protection of the Latvian nation, language, and culture as the paramount state interest. Its worldview is shaped by ethno-cultural nationalism, viewing the Latvian state primarily as a sanctuary for the titular nation. This stems from the historical experience of occupation, which is why distancing from Russia and preserving traditional, Christian-conservative family values form its ideological core. The party perceives the individual as part of a community of destiny, whose continuity takes precedence above all else.
Political Priorities
The NA's agenda focuses on strict language and citizenship policies to reverse the effects of Russification. It advocates for a consistent 'Latvianization' of the education system and restrictive immigration policies. Economically, while it holds market-liberal positions, these are combined with targeted support for Latvian families to counter demographic decline. Its target audience is the Latvian-speaking population, particularly in rural areas and among nationally conscious intellectuals who seek security through national sovereignty.
Role in the Political System
Within Latvia's political system, the NA acts as a stabilizing yet unyielding force in center-right coalitions. It often serves as the "national conscience," pushing established parties on identity issues. While it advocates for integration into the EU and NATO as a shield against Moscow, it rejects deeper political integration and the ceding of sovereign rights to Brussels. Its stance on the rule of law is shaped by the conviction that national identity and security take precedence over liberal concepts of multiculturalism.
