Sovereign Identity (Spanish: Identidad Soberana) is a far-right, anti-establishment political party in Uruguay. Founded in 2022, it is led by the lawyer and confrontational activist Gustavo Salle Lorier.[8]
The party entered the Uruguayan parliament for the first time after winning 2 seats in the Chamber of Representatives in the 2024 general election.[9] 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 Republican Coalition.[10][11] Salle himself has defined the General Assembly as "the den of the homeland-sellers", and has been described as an anti-establishment activist.[12] The party has appealed to some conspiracy theories such as that of the New World Order, that of the so-called "kleptocorporatocracy" or government of the corporations, and those related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory.[13][14][15][16] It has also adopted a stance against vaccines and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.[17][18]
