Everything For the Country Party

The Everything for the Country Party (Romanian: Partidul Totul Pentru Țară, PTT) was a political party founded in Romania in 1993 by former members of the fascist Iron Guard and existed until it was banned in 2015. The party claimed to adhere to a "national-Christian" doctrine and styled itself as the successor to the interwar party of the same name.[4]

The PTT appeared as a feedback to the continuity and consolidation of the system structures before 1989, the development of the corrupt and immoral politicians, and the founders believing that the last have threatened the existence of the Romanian nation and the Romanian unitary national state, threatening Romania with the isolation from the civilized world. Under these circumstances, the old fighters considered that the National Resistance should continue, but under the conditions and frameworks provided by the rule of law. The PTT worships the legionnaires Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, Horia Sima or Radu Gyr, as it appears from the publication "Buciumul".

Ideology

The Everything For the Country Party relies on the national-Christian doctrine values, standing at the right of the Romanian political scene. The basic principles and values of the PTT are discipline, moral order, national and Christian values, and the rule of law.

The founders of the party have repeatedly stated that this party is the only political force that legitimately pursues the spirit of the National Anticommunist Resistance.

Headquarters

In the media around 2000, the PTT became the only party in Romania whose members built, exclusively by their own money and work, their central headquarters on land donated by a member, who was the former political prisoner (Freedom, September 1999).
