All For Latvia! ((ラトビア語:Visu Latvijai!)) was a nationalist〔 and far-right political party in Latvia, led by Raivis Dzintars and Imants Parādnieks. Formed in 2000, it entered a right-wing nationalist coalition in 2010, and ultimately merged with the For Fatherland and Freedom Party in 2011 to form the National Alliance. ==History== All For Latvia! started as a political youth organization in 2000. After a ban on symbols similar to the Nazi swastika or the Soviet hammer and sickle in 2003, members of the organization protested outside Latvian parliament with ethnographic symbols bearing reversed versions of the swastika associated with the Nazi regime. All For Latvia! leader Dzintars Raivis defended the protest, arguing that "the swastika is by no means something Hitler thought of."〔"Latvian youths protest ban of Nazi-style symbols," ''Agence France Presse'', 23 January 2003.〕 The organization became a political party in January 2006, running in 2006 elections. It won 1.48% of vote and no seats in the parliament. Following the election in 2006, All For Latvia! organized remembrance processions honoring war dead of the Latvian Legion who fought against Communist Soviet Union on the side of Nazi Germany during World War II.〔"Latvia bans SS veteran march," ''Ria Novosti'', 14 March 2006.〕 For the 2010 elections for the Saeima, All for Latvia! joined forces in the National Alliance with the more established national conservative party For Fatherland and Freedom/LNNK to field a common list of candidates.〔(Candidate list from official website of the Central Electoral Commission ) 〕 At the election, the list won eight seats, six of them for All for Latvia!. Deputy Visvaldis Lacis, representing the party and a former member of Latvian Legion, was elected chairman of the parliamentary committee of the Latvian government responsible for dealing with the Russian minority. On 23 July 2011, the For Fatherland and Freedom/LNNK Party and All For Latvia! merged to form the National Alliance.〔http://www.baltictimes.com/news/articles/29032/〕 In spring of 2013, All For Latvia! officially established cooperation ties with National Democratic Alliance, a major political association in Russian Federation, which "aims to create a Russian democratic state, which will break cleanly away from the Eurasian imperial legacy, opting instead for a European cultural and civilizational identity, based on the ideas of freedom and progress" and is "sustaining a course for consistent rapprochement and cooperation with the European Union and NATO". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All for Latvia!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
