Forward Brilliania (Brillian: Berilinako Aurrera, Iparinan: A Beriliország Jobbra, lit. Brilliania Rightwards) is a right-wing and secular political party in Brilliania.
The party was established on 13 February 2020 by a merger of Hegoak, Citizen's March and associated minor parties in order to prepare for the 2020 regional elections. The party consists of a wide array of parties on the right side of the political spectrum, with ideologies ranging from the moderate Alriikan model supported by Inyigo Oliberi's faction to the right-wing populism supported by Yuli Verria's faction. The party is united by its secular outlook and support for economic liberalism and national conservative policies. The party is the legal successor of the Hegoak party, which was founded in 1865, and its headquarter is the same as Hegoak.
The party's central tenets include drafting the Orthodox Marists into the army, amending the constitution in order to make Brilliania a confederal state and introducing optional electronic voting for all elections. It also supports legalisation of marijuana.
History
The party was founded on 10 February 2020, when Citizen's March political Inyigo Oliberi, Orgi Aranszadi and Anna Szerorena left their party in order to join Hegoak. On 12 February, Hegoak officially dissolved its party structure in order to unite with Citizen's March and small allied conservative parties. The new party was officially registered on 13 February and approved on the same day. In the three days prior to the official registration, the Hegoak - Citizen's March joint faction was provisionally named 'Free Citizens' in reference to the party names. On 14 February 2020, it was announced that the leader of the National Voice Party former Minister of Veteran Affairs Yuli Verria was planning to merge her party with Forward Brilliania in order to return to politics, after refusing to participate in both the March 2019 and December 2019 elections after having temporarily halted her political career in order to recover from a burn-out. National Voice previously formed a joint list, the Coalition of the Secular Right, with Hegoak in order to participate in the 2013 presidential elections and 2014 legislative elections. On 26 February 2020, the party announced an official alliance with the Homeland is Not For Sale Movement in order to present a united secular right front for the 2020 regional elections.
Founding congress
On 14 February 2020, the party held Brilliania's first ever open political congress at the Sebasztian Szuriko Sports Centre in Marina Szantua. Attendance reached up to 7,000, and the party adopted its motto and logo during open votes during the congress. The party is introducing digital voting for its internal votes, and elected a 6-member presidium.
