The Freedom Party is a nationalist, anti-immigration political party in Aredoa. The party describes itself as right-wing but is regularly referred to as far-right by the press and political commentators.[1]
Formed in 2007 by former members of the National Conservative Party, the party first entered the National Assembly in the 2009 elections. As of 2024, it currently holds 27 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 6 in the Chamber of Regions.
The Freedom Party operates an anti-immigration platform, being staunchly opposed to the increased intake of immigrants and asylum seekers that has occurred since the outbreak of the Third Kaijan War and the Mallancaland Civil War nearby. In its 2023 election manifesto, the party promised a blanket ban on immigration from the Kaijan Islands and Mallancaland.[2] A number of the party's elected officials have come under criminal investigation for the incitement of, or involvement in, violence and intimidation against immigrants and racial harassment.[3]
