The party's primary aim is not ideological, but the protection and enhancement of the rights of the
Polish minority, who make up 6,5% of Lithuania's population. It supports a more influential political role for the Roman Catholic Church, mandatory religious education in schools, and a reduction in the number of Lithuanian
parliamentarians from 141 to 101 coupled to an increase in the number of local councillors. Since 2005, it unsuccessfully tried to submit bills to penalize abortion. Economically, the party supports pro-social and welfare policies - it has a strong social and redistributive component to its economic positions. It stresses the need to combat poverty, and proposes a catalogue of welfare programs such as a family support program based on the Polish safety net, as well as an increase in social insurance spending, free school dinners, and a raise in child benefits to 70 euros a month, with additional 30 euros for low-income and large families. The LLRA-KŠS also postulates abolition of tuition fees for bachelor's studies and a program that would provide free basic medicine to the elderly. Apart from welfare, it also supports enhancing the Lithuanian road financing program and increasing the income tax. According to the Polish political scientist Paweł Gotowiecki, the party "can be described as a classic
Christian democracy." Despite claiming to not have an ideological basis, the LLRA-KŠS competes with other Lithuanian parties, especially the center-right ones, as it campaigns on similar policies and values. However, while the party focuses on promoting tradiditonalist values and
Political Catholicism, its natural allies are the Lithuanian centre-left parties. The LLRA-KŠS also proposes policies implemented in Poland, such as the Polish "Family 500+" welfare program that grants parents a monthly income of 500 PLN per child. LLRA's leader Valdemar Tomaszewski is considered to be a
pro-Russian, since he had condemned the
Euromaidan protests in Ukraine and had been seen wearing the
Ribbon of Saint George, a symbol strongly associated with
Russian nationalism and support for
Vladimir Putin. Tomaszewski said that Euromaidan protests in Ukraine were "the greatest evil". While another member of the LLRA party, Zbignev Jedinskij, in his
Facebook profile called on
NATO to begin bombing
Kyiv to force peace in 2014. The
mass media in Poland also criticized Tomaszewski and urged for stopping financial support for "Putin's allies". Moreover, at the time Tomaszewski opposed to support the
Ukrainian government formed following the
Revolution of Dignity, sought for closer cooperation with
Belarus, had no opinion if Lithuania should stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian-side in the
Crimean question and described
Russia as "probably not" dangerous for the security of Lithuania. Tomaszewski and other members of the LLRA participate in the mass public
Victory Day (9 May) commemorations. In September 2020, Tomaszewski and the LLRA fraction in
Seimas did not participate in a voting on adopting a resolution regarding the illegal and imposed
union of Russia with Belarus and stated that it creates tension between neighbors. Moreover, Tomaszewski criticized Lithuanian government for its support to the
Belarusian opposition, banning of
Russian media channels, and compared the
annexation of Crimea as an analogy with the
Kosovo question. In August 2020, Tomaszewski narrated that "there is nothing worse than revolutions". Soon afterwards the LLRA scored 4,82% during the
2020 Lithuanian parliamentary election and did not qualify to the
Thirteenth Seimas of Lithuania. In 2017, LLRA member Zbignev Jedziński criticized Lithuanian Prime Minister
Saulius Skvernelis support to increase Lithuania's defensive spending to 2,5% of its
gross domestic product since 2020 and instead suggested to sign a non-aggression pact between Lithuania and Russia. Nevertheless, in March 2022 Tomaszewski opposed the banning of the Ribbon of Saint George by narrating that "it would be a return to
Bolshevik times" and that "the ribbon actually stands for the
heroic struggle against the real evil –
fascism". For the first time since 1995, LLRA's member Waldemar Urban lost the 2023 mayor election of the
Vilnius District Municipality to
Social Democrats Robert Duchniewicz, who publicly describe the members of the LLRA as "
woldemortians that scare the people to vote and to work off for them". On 12 June 2023, the Central Electoral Commission of the Republic of Lithuania stated that the LLRA-KŠS indirectly bribed voters by giving gifts to children in the Vilnius District last year and that persons belonging to the electoral list of candidates for the Vilnius District Council and the then mayoral candidate Waldemar Urban conducted campaigning that did not comply with the principles of fair and honorable elections. ==External relations==
