The party has its roots in the far-right Slovenian National Right party, which was transformed and renamed after its failure in the 1996 parliamentary election.[3] In later years, it was associated with the nationalistic organization Hervardi.[4][5] Andrej Šiško, formerly a prominent member of the ultras group "Viole Maribor," and the party's candidate for the 2008 legislative election, was convicted of a murder attempt.[6]
