Lithuanian Nationalist and Republican Union
Political party in Lithuania / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Lithuanian Nationalist Union.
The Lithuanian Nationalist and Republican Union (Lithuanian: Lietuvių tautininkų ir respublikonų sąjunga or LTS), also known as the Nationalists (Tautininkai), was a right-wing nationalist political party in Lithuania. It claimed to be the continuation of the Lithuanian Nationalist Union, the ruling party in 1926–1940. The party was re-established when Lithuania declared independence in 1990 and performed increasingly poorly in the elections. In 2008, it merged with the Homeland Union, but demerged in 2011. In 2017, it merged with the Republican Party. The party promotes traditional family values, advocates for Lithuania's independence from the European Union, opposes immigration.[3]
