Abstract:

<p>The party’s predecessor – the Homeland Union (Lithuanian Conservatives) (TS (LK)) – was established on May 1, 1993, as the political successor of the right-wing faction of the Sąjūdis movement (initially known as the Reform Movement of Lithuania). In the period of 1999–2000, after internal conflicts, the party experienced two splits: on December 12, 1999, former members founded the Homeland People’s Party, and on July 2, 2000, – the Union of Moderate Conservatives. During the congress held on May 24–25, 2003, the party’s name was changed to Homeland Union (Conservatives, Christian Democrats, Freedom Fighters), retaining the option to use the official shortened name – Homeland Union (TS). The period of 2003–2004 marked the strengthening of the party: on November 8, 2003, the politically insignificant the Right Union of Lithuania joined this political party, and on February 7, 2004, – the Lithuanian Union of Political Prisoners and Deportees. After the latter event, the party’s name was changed to Homeland Union (Conservatives, Political Prisoners and the Exiled, Christian Democrats), but the official shortened name remained unchanged – Homeland Union (TS). On February 24, 2008, the Lithuanian Nationalist Union congress, and on March 11, 2008, the Homeland Union congress, confirmed the merger of the Lithuanian Nationalist Union into the Homeland Union. Furthermore, on May 17, 2008, the Homeland Union and the political party <a href="Linkas" target="_blank">Lithuanian Christian Democrats</a> merged into the Political Party "Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrats" (TS-LKD). The new party statutes also legalized the full name the Political Party "Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrats (Conservatives, Political Prisoners and the Exiled, Nationalists)". On December 17, 2011, the third split of the party occurred: some former members of the Lithuanian Nationalist Union, who had left TS-LKD, re-established this party.</p>
