National Victory (Spanish: Victoria Nacional) is a Peruvian political party. Founded in 2020, the party is the successor of the former National Restoration Party, founded and led by former evangelical pastor Humberto Lay. As Lay resigned from the leadership in mid-2019, the party underwent a formal reorganization that involved a re-foundation with a name-change. After multiple talks with different political leaders, the party reached an agreement with former footballer George Forsyth in order to reorganize the party.[1]
In October 2020, the party announced its re-foundation under Forsyth's leadership, thus effectively dissolving National Restoration, and establishing National Victory. Subsequently, the party nominated Forsyth for President of Peru for the 2021 general election.[2]
Ideology
In contrast to the evangelical roots of National Restoration, National Victory holds on to a liberal conservative platform, with some support for progressive issues such as LGBT rights, as Forsyth has stated his support for a civil union proposal.[3]
Economically, Forsyth is viewed as a pro-market candidate, although his stances on the Peruvian economy (according to Americas Quarterly) "are less clear".[4]
