Шаблон:Infobox political party The Civic Union (Latvian: Pilsoniskā savienība, PS) was a political party in Latvia. It was founded in 2008, and most of its members came from the For Fatherland and Freedom/LNNK and New Era Party. A liberal-conservative party, it was part of the European People's Party at the European level. It has also been described as centre-right[1][2] or right-wing.[3]
The party was part of the coalition government led by Prime Minister of Latvia Valdis Dombrovskis.[2] The Civic Union controlled the Latvia Ministry of Defence under the then-Minister Imants Viesturs Lieģis. A party leader was Sandra Kalniete, a former European Commissioner.
In the 2009 European Parliament election the Civic Union won over 24% of the vote in Latvia and gained two Members of the European Parliament.[4]
On 6 August 2011, it merged with two other parties to form the new political party Unity.[5]
