Today a press conference of the HONOR Party was held, in which the program, direction and plans of the newly registered formation for the next parliamentary elections were presented.

HONOR defines itself as a national-conservative patriotic and social-statist formation.

In a comprehensive presentation of the party’s ideology, several major emphases were highlighted, including its strong anti-liberal and anti-globalist orientation, its national-conservative views, and its socio-statist economic philosophy. They define themselves as patriots, believing in traditional values: faith, honor, morality, family. They profess the principles of social justice and define themselves as radical statists. Being deeply illiberal, they believe that the state should be an important actor in socio-political and socioeconomic life and a guarantor of the common good. They do not accept the liberal dogma that it is only a guardian of freedoms and an intermediary between various private interests.

Antiliberalism is very widespread in the ideology of the new formation, as evidenced by the fact that they have given it a special text in their program. In point 3 of it we read the following: “A decisive end to the ideology of liberal globalism that has prevailed in our country since the end of the Cold War. Strong rejection of the concepts of civil and open society, multiculturalism and neoliberalism. We oppose the malicious ideology of civil society to the idea of ​​popular community, we respond to multiculturalism with monoculturalism, and we oppose social Darwinism, which is the basis of the neoliberal economic system that was built in our country after 1989, social justice and radical statism. The main idea of ​​the state to become social conservatism, with its basic principles: a strong nation-state, subject of its own development and destiny; a nation united in a national community; imposition of social justice; rebirth of national culture and art; return and preservation of traditional moral, ethical and ethical norms “.


The main faces of the new party are Simeon Kostadinov, who for many years was one of the leading figures in the ranks of the youth patriotic movements in our country, Ivan Spiridonov – writer and one of the ideologues of modern Bulgarian nationalism, Stoyan Todorov – president of the Immortal Regiment – Bulgaria “, Preslav Kulekov – multiple world and European champion in martial arts and Spas Genchin of the association” Orthodox Pact “.

Some of his more ambitious goals are a constitutional reform aimed at transforming Bulgaria into a presidential republic, as well as one that would convert orthodoxy from a traditional religion to an official one for the country, the return of the state to the economy, the abolition of the tax unique and return to progressive taxation, the fight against foreign influence in public life, the media, education and the arts, the non-governmental sector.

They claim that their greatest enemy is not a specific political entity, but the transitional system. According to them, the liberal consensus is dead. They want to impose a new paradigm of social development, which, in their opinion, is nothing more than a return to the roots.

They will stand on their own in the next parliamentary elections, although they have already been invited to several coalitions. They will open their lists for a wide civic quota, for people who share their views and ideas. Similar talks are already taking place.
