We Are Family (Slovak: Sme rodina), previously the Party of Citizens of Slovakia, is a right-wing populist political movement in Slovakia led by Boris Kollár known for its populism and opposition to mass immigration.

History[]

The party was founded on 10 November 2015 by businessman Boris Kollár by renaming and repurposing an existing minor party named Our Land (Náš Kraj).[12] The party took 6.6% of the vote in the 2016 parliamentary election, winning 11 seats in the National Council.[13][14] In February 2019, the party joined the Identity and Democracy Party.
