The Everything for the Country Party (Romanian: Partidul Totul Pentru Țară, PTT) was a political party founded in Romania in 1993 by former members of the fascist Iron Guard. It existed until it was banned in 2015. The party claimed to adhere to a "national-Christian" doctrine and styled itself as the successor to the interwar party of the same name.[4]
The PTT appeared as a response to the continuity and consolidation of the system structures before 1989 and the development of corrupt and immoral politicians. The founders believed that the latter have threatened the existence of the Romanian nation and the Romanian unitary national state, threatening Romania with isolation from the civilized world. The old fighters considered that the National Resistance should continue, but under the conditions and frameworks provided by the rule of law. The PTT worships the legionnaires Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, Horia Sima, or Radu Gyr, as it appears from the publication "Buciumul".
Ideology
The Everything For the Country Party relies on national-Christian doctrine values, standing at the right of the Romanian political scene. The basic principles and values of the PTT are discipline, moral order, national and Christian values, and the rule of law.
The founders of the party have repeatedly stated that this party is the only political force that legitimately pursues the spirit of the National Anticommunist Resistance.
Headquarters
In the media around 2000, the PTT became the only party in Romania whose members built, exclusively with their own money and work, their central headquarters on land donated by a member, who was a former political prisoner (Freedom, September 1999).
