Kotlebists – People's Party Our Slovakia (Slovak: Kotlebovci – Ľudová strana naše Slovensko, ĽSNS) is a far-right,[16][17][18][19] neo-Nazi political party in Slovakia.[2][3][4] The party claims to derive its origin from the legacy of Andrej Hlinka and Jozef Tiso.[20]
Positioned on the far-right of the political spectrum, Kotlebists – People's Party Our Slovakia's political platform expresses xenophobic and antiziganist rhetoric,[18] Christian fundamentalism, paternalism and economic interventionism, interest-free national loans, replacement of the euro currency with the Slovak koruna, strengthening of law and order, rejection and criminalization of same-sex civil unions and LGBT rights, and strong anti-establishment sentiment, most notably against Slovakia's current foreign and domestic policy.
The party proposes to reduce the number of MPs from 150 to 100, restrict the expression of "degenerate material" in media, establish a home guard militia with the goal of cracking down on "gypsy criminality", promote a corporatist mixed economy, prohibit abortion conducted in the second and third trimester, institute a national health service, subsidize families in accordance to their fertility and race, and withdraw the Slovak military from foreign operations. In addition, it advocates for Slovakia's departure from the European Union, the European Monetary Union, and NATO, and agitates for closer ties with the Russian Federation and the CSTO.[18]
