Political parties

The Austerian Popular Rebirth Party (Tethian: Partia e Rilindjes Popullore Austerisë), commonly known as Renaissance (Rilindjes), is an Austerian nationalist political party in Austeria. The party advocates for the establishment of a common Austerian identity based upon the concept of brotherhood and unity, where the people of Austeria would overcome their cultural and religious differences through promoting fraternal relations between them. Historically, the party supported National Functionalism in the first two decades of its existence, before it aligned itself with the Equalist Austerian Liberation Front.

The party was founded in 1921, by Anton Turati who modeled it after the Parti Populaire in Gaullica, as an anticolonial political organization hostile to Etrurian rule. During the Great War, it allied itself with the Grand Alliance and launched attacks against Etrurian forces. The party was heavily suppressed following the war, but it remained organized which allowed it to reemerge following the Legionary Reaction. At the outbreak of the Solarian War, the PRPA aligned itself with the Austerian Liberation Front, despite the ideological differences between the two. After the formation of the Austerian People's Republic, Renaissance remained a prominent organisation, albeit as a satellite party of the Liberation Front.

After the end of the one-party state in 1988, the party went into decline but slowly re-emerged following the 2005 economic crisis and the collapse of the People's Republic. Today the party retains its nationalistic platform, but with significant Equalist influences, instead of its original ideology. It is currently a minor party, with 2 seats in the Senate in alliance with the Socialist Party of Austeria.
