National Salvation (Spanish: Salvación Nacional) is a right-wing, conservative, nationalist political party in Carloso. It was formed in 2010 by former members of the Conservative Party as part of the Blue Revolution, mainly in reaction to plans to hold a referendum on the legalisation of abortion and various other social reforms instigated by the Conservative–Democratic coalition government at the time. After the collapse of Conservative support in the general election, National Salvation picked up a huge chunk of the voter base and secured a near-majority in National Assembly, going into coalition with a group of rural independents to form a government in 2011. In 2015 it secured an outright parliamentary majority. At present, it is the largest party in the country in terms of both membership and voter share. Many political commentators have labelled it as being far-right and, since taking power, it has become increasingly more hard-line on various issues. National Salvation has been described as being a neo-reactionary, protectionist, nationalist and anti-communist party. The party also opposes immigration, neo-liberalism and progressivism. Since its foundation, it has been led by Cárlos Tobón.

Political profile

Factionalism

Ultranationalists – The core and most influential group within National Salvation. Almost all are veterans of the Bourgougian Blitz. Due to their experiences in that particular conflict, all are virulently anti-communist and opposed to liberalism. They are opposed to any recognition of so-called homosexual rights, are totally opposed to abortion and favour a traditionalist, integralist attitude with regard to relations between the Christian churches in Carloso and the government. They favour state intervention in the economy, distributism, and taxation policies that penalise corporations and encourage small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They are miltarists, advocating a large defence budget for the Carlosian Armed Forces, conscription, and a hostile attitude towards extra-continental interference in Musgorocia. They support Carloso's membership of SACTO. On law and order, the ultranationalists support and have implemented the death penalty for drug dealing, murder, rape and the execution of abortion.

Social nationalists – Former members of the Social National Party, which merged with NS just before the 2010 election. Economically, they generally favour guild socialism and elements of corporatism. The social nationalists are described as being further to the left on economics. While mostly following the ultranationalists when it comes to social and foreign policy, they are in favour of a secular republic.
