History

In December 2016, a group of members of the Third Serbia political party split from the party and formed the People's Freedom Movement with Miroslav Parović being selected as the president of the newly formed People's Freedom Movement. The president of the party, Miroslav Parović finished 11th in 2017 Serbian presidential election with 0.32% of the votes.[1] In November 2019, the party announced that they will participate in the 2020 Serbian parliamentary election in the coalition with New Serbia.[2][3]

Platform

People's Freedom Movement advocates a conservative ideology and it believes that only an orderly, legal state can be free and sovereign. The party advocates democratic organization and the rule of law. As anti-globalists and Euro-realists, they stand for "Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok", with the "Paris-Berlin-Moscow axis", recognizing Belgrade as one of the cornerstones of New Europe.[4] They see themselves among the sovereignists, who fight for the principles of freedom, equality and solidarity, and call themselves "freemen". The party maintains good relations with similar parties in Europe. They can often be seen at events in the company of members of the National Rally from France, the Republican Party of France, the Freedom Party of Austria, and the Alternative for Germany.[4]

gollark: Oh, and, additionally (I thought of and/or remembered this now), knowing your actions are monitored is likely to change your behavior too, and make you less likely to do controversial things, which is not very good.
gollark: i.e. demonstrate that they can actually function well, enforce the law reasonably, have reasonable laws *to* enforce in the first place, with available resources/data, **before** invading everyone's privacy with the insistence that they will totally make everyone safer.
gollark: Reduced privacy in return for more safety and stuff might be better if governments had a track record of, well, actually doing that sort of thing effectively.
gollark: I... see.
gollark: Invading people's privacy a lot allows you to get somewhat closer to "perfect enforcement".
