Isamaa (lit.'Fatherland') is a Christian-democratic[3][2] and national-conservative political party in Estonia.[4]
It was founded on 4 June 2006 under the name of "Pro Patria and Res Publica Union", by the merger of two conservative parties, Pro Patria Union and Res Publica Party. Up to the 2007 parliamentary elections, the party held 32 seats out of 101 in the Riigikogu and one of Estonia's six seats in the European Parliament. The party is a member of the European People's Party (EPP). The merged party consisted of two separate boards and two party leaders, which was replaced by a unified board and leader in May 2007. The party's prime minister candidate was Mart Laar, who became a chairman of the party. In 2018, its name was changed to "Isamaa", meaning literally "Fatherland".[5]
Ideologically, it has been positioned on the centre-right[6] or right-wing[2] on the political spectrum, and it is economically liberal.[2]
