Sovereign Identity (Spanish: Identidad Soberana) is an anti-establishment political party in Uruguay. Founded in 2022, it is led by the lawyer and confrontational activist Gustavo Salle Lorier. [1] The party has been described as a catch-all group. [2]

Contents

The party entered the Uruguayan parliament for the first time after winning 2 seats in the Chamber of Representatives in the 2024 general election. [3] According to Salle and leading members, Sovereign Identity is neither left-wing nor right-wing, and it is not aligned with either of the country's two major political blocs, the Broad Front and the Coalición Republicana. [4] [5] Salle himself has defined the General Assembly as "the den of the homeland-sellers", and has been described as an anti-establishment activist. [6] The party has appealed to some conspiracy theories such as that of the New World Order, and that of the so-called "kleptocorporatocracy" or government of the corporations and those related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as promoting the Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory. [7] [8] [9] It has also adopted a stance against vaccines and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals. [10] [11]
