Since October 2022, the NBP has been involved as a junior partner in a governing coalition with the BVP in [[Sedakania]]. | ||

The predecessor of the National Besmenian Party was the [[Besmenian Republican Party]] (BRP), which was founded in 1957 and was represented in the [[Federal Chamber (Besmenia)|Federal Chamber]] from 1960 to 1989. Between 1972 and 1980, the BRP was involved as a junior partner in a governing coalition with the [[Besmenian People's Party]] under [[Robert Gleitzmann]]. The 1980s were marked by internal crises and conflicts because, like the BVP, the BRP had come under massive criticism as a result of the [[Gleitzmann scandal]] that erupted in 1983 and had to take electoral losses. While the BVP under [[Erik Tautenbach]] managed to overcome the consequences of the Gleitzmann scandal in the late 1980s and was able to show electoral successes again, the BRP did not manage to do so under its chairman [[Helmut Schwarzberg]]. In the [[1989 Besmenian federal election|1989 election]], the BRP failed to get into the Federal Chamber with an overall result of 4.6% | |||

At this party conference, the then 42-year-old [[Alexander Wiest]] was elected as the new chairman. Wiest spoke out in favor of re-establishing the party in order to also appeal to young voters. Negotiations soon began with the right-wing populist party [[National Besmenian Alliance]], which was founded in 1987, about a joint merger. The negotiation talks were successfully concluded in April 1990. | ||
=== | ===Founding and Wiest era (1990-2011)=== | ||
=== | At the party's founding convention on May 28, 1990 in Laitstadt, Wiest was elected party chairman. At the same time, the respective national organizations of the party were renamed and restructured. All previous members of the BRP and NBA automatically received NBP membership. | ||
===Assassination of Wiest and years of crisis (2011-2016)=== | |||
On September 12, 2011, Alexander von Wiest was kidnapped and murdered by [[Al-Fijar]] supporters. The next day, the NBP party executive nominated the previous general secretary and deputy party chairman [[Karsten Kremes]] to succeed Von Wiest. | |||
In the early [[2012 Besmenian federal election]], the NBP had to take election losses for the first time at the federal level, but managed to hold on to the fourth spot that the party had held since 2001. Political scientists justified the loss of the election with the end of the Von Wiest era, the resulting end of Von Wiest's participation in the NBP and doubts about his successor Kremes. | |||
In December 2012, a right-wing liberal course was decided at the NBP party congress in [[Samaroda]]. According to this, liberal action should be taken on economic policy issues, but the socio-political positions will remain right-wing conservative. Since then, the NBP has recognized the social market economy as Besmenia's economic system. | |||

The National Besmenian Party (Besmenian: Nationale Besmenische Partei) is a national conservative and right-wing populist party in Besmenia.
The NBP is represented in the Federal Chamber since 1993. The National Besmenian Party was formed by the merger of the Besmenian Republican Party and the National Besmenian Alliance on July 10, 1990. The party is accused of having a close relationship with right-wing extremism. As a result, most of the other major parties have no interest in forming a coalition with the NBP.
The NBP is currently represented with 45 deputies in the Federal Chamber and in thirteen of the fourteen state chambers. Between 1998 and 2008, the NBP ruled as the strongest party in a coalition with the BVP in the Besmenian federal state of Greuningia, with then party leader Alexander Wiest as governor. Since October 2022, the NBP has been involved as a junior partner in a governing coalition with the BVP in Sedakania.
History
Background
The predecessor of the National Besmenian Party was the Besmenian Republican Party (BRP), which was founded in 1957 and was represented in the Federal Chamber from 1960 to 1989. Between 1972 and 1980, the BRP was involved as a junior partner in a governing coalition with the Besmenian People's Party under Robert Gleitzmann. The 1980s were marked by internal crises and conflicts because, like the BVP, the BRP had come under massive criticism as a result of the Gleitzmann scandal that erupted in 1983 and had to take electoral losses. While the BVP under Erik Tautenbach managed to overcome the consequences of the Gleitzmann scandal in the late 1980s and was able to show electoral successes again, the BRP did not manage to do so under its chairman Helmut Schwarzberg. In the 1989 election, the BRP failed to get into the Federal Chamber with an overall result of 4.6%
On October 16, 1989, an extraordinary party congress was held, which analyzed the causes of the electoral defeat and elected a completely new presidium. At this party conference, the then 42-year-old Alexander Wiest was elected as the new chairman. Wiest spoke out in favor of re-establishing the party in order to also appeal to young voters. Negotiations soon began with the right-wing populist party National Besmenian Alliance, which was founded in 1987, about a joint merger. The negotiation talks were successfully concluded in April 1990.
Founding and Wiest era (1990-2011)
At the party's founding convention on May 28, 1990 in Laitstadt, Wiest was elected party chairman. At the same time, the respective national organizations of the party were renamed and restructured. All previous members of the BRP and NBA automatically received NBP membership.
Assassination of Wiest and years of crisis (2011-2016)
On September 12, 2011, Alexander von Wiest was kidnapped and murdered by Al-Fijar supporters. The next day, the NBP party executive nominated the previous general secretary and deputy party chairman Karsten Kremes to succeed Von Wiest.
In the early 2012 Besmenian federal election, the NBP had to take election losses for the first time at the federal level, but managed to hold on to the fourth spot that the party had held since 2001. Political scientists justified the loss of the election with the end of the Von Wiest era, the resulting end of Von Wiest's participation in the NBP and doubts about his successor Kremes.
In December 2012, a right-wing liberal course was decided at the NBP party congress in Samaroda. According to this, liberal action should be taken on economic policy issues, but the socio-political positions will remain right-wing conservative. Since then, the NBP has recognized the social market economy as Besmenia's economic system.
Ernst leadership (2016-Present)
Ideology and policies
Economic policy
The NBP is committed to a freely competitive social market economy based on private property. The NBP is also in favor of abolishing wage tax classes
Education policy
The party is opposed to federalism in education policy and calls for centralization at federal level.
Foreign policy
ANS
Ever since it was founded in the summer of 1990, the NBP has rejected the Alliance of Nortuan States as a political alliance and only advocated an economic community. Besmenia's resignation from the ANS is required from individual representatives. Officially and from the party leadership, leaving the ANS is only an option if there are no fundamental reforms within the ANS.
Family and social policy
The NBP represents conservative, anti-feminist positions in gender politics and rejects equality politics and gender mainstreaming. In doing so, it relies, among other things, on Christian fundamentalist and völkisch ideas. The NBP considers demographic issues to be relevant. She advocates the traditional family of man and woman and opposes both quotas for women and the supposed abolition of gender identities.
Migration and asylum policy
The NBP advocates a significant tightening of the asylum law and a curbing of immigration, and criticizes the high proportion of foreigners in the numerically sharply increased disability pensions and in social assistance. In the opinion of the party, such grants are often paid out unjustly and thus waste taxpayers' money. Many members of the NBP are also critical of Islam.
Defense policy
The NBP supports the retention of conscription and a military build-up of the Besmenian Federal Army.
