European Solidarity (Ukrainian: Європейська солідарність, romanized: Yevropeiska solidarnist, pronounced [jeu̯rɔˈpɛi̯sʲkɐ sɔlʲiˈdarnʲisʲtʲ], YeS) is a political party in Ukraine. It has its roots in a parliamentary group called Solidarity dating from 2000[6] and has existed since in various forms as a political outlet for Petro Poroshenko. The party with its then name Petro Poroshenko Bloc won 132 of the 423 contested seats in the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election, more than any other party.[7][8]
In August 2015, the Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform (UDAR) merged into the party.[9] In May 2019, the UDAR undid this merge.[10] In October 2017, the party had about 30,000 members; former members of Party of Regions are denied membership.[11] In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, the party won 23 seats on the nationwide party list and 2 constituency seats.[12]
Initially formed as a social democratic party,[13] it shifted to the centre-right during the formation of Petro Poroshenko Bloc in 2014.[13] Since then, it has been described as Christian democratic,[13] liberal conservative,[13][14] conservative,[15] liberal,[16] and civic nationalist.[17][18] Regarding their foreign stances, they support the membership of Ukraine in the European Union and a peaceful end to the Russo-Ukrainian War.[13][19] In its program, they stated their support for decentralization and anti-corruption among other principles.[20]
