Pro Patria is a political
party in
Latvia. It was created in 5 December 2009 by taking over
Austosas saules partija.
History
Pro Patria was established in 5 December 2009 by a long-time president of Latvia, Nameisis. The party soon became the 4th largest in the country and attracted several congressmen. Pro Patria supported Kurzemes Kungu Klubs' candidate Kurzemes Karalis Kristaps in the presidential elections and he won.
PP won the first congress election they contested, in December, by gaining 11 seats in the parliament. In January Pro Partia and Nacionāldemokrātu partija both supported Kaspars09 for president. He won by a small margin. During the congress elections four parties battled for 3rd place in the rankings which meant one party would not participate in the election. This party was Pro Patria. Kaspars decided not to run for another term as president so Pro Patria and NDP supported Tempus Rapa candidate Jezups von der Vucins who won with the smallest margin in the history of Latvia.
