From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lithuanian Liberty Union (Lithuanian: Lietuvos laisvės sąjunga, LLS) was a far-right[1] political party in Lithuania.
The party was established in 1992 as a breakaway from the Lithuanian Freedom League, and was formerly registered as a political party on 13 September 1994.[2] It contested the 1992 elections, but received just 0.4% of the vote and failed to win a seat.[3] In the 1996 elections it increased its vote share to 1.5%, but again failed to win a seat.
The 2000 elections saw the party's vote share fall to 1.3%, but it succeeded in winning its first seat,[3] taken by Vytautas Šustauskas.[2] Šustauskas was the party's candidate in the 2002–03 presidential elections, but received just 0.4% of the vote.[4] The party lost its sole Seimas seat in the 2004 elections.[5]
The party was dissolved in 2011 and the Union for the President of Lithuania was established as a replacement.[6]
