For Latvia from the Heart (Latvian: No sirds Latvijai) is a conservative political party in Latvia founded in May 2014 by former State Auditor Inguna Sudraba.
History
The party was established on 5 May by Inguna Sudraba,[1] a former State Auditor.[2]
Although Sudraba had a clean image amongst the Latvian public, the 2014 election campaign saw her being filmed having lunch with an oligarch.[2] In addition, she has refused to fully answer questions about the party's funding.[2] The party campaigned on a general platform of fair wages and pensions, as well as increasing the accountability of government.[3] In the parliamentary elections in October 2014 the party passed the electoral threshold, ensuring representation in the Saeima.
