The party entered the Uruguayan parliament for the first time after winning 2 seats in the Chamber of Representatives in the 2024 general election.[3] According to Salle and leading members, Sovereign Identity is neither left-wing nor right-wing, and it is not aligned with either of the country's two major political blocs, the Broad Front and the Coalición Republicana.[4][5] Salle himself has defined the General Assembly as "the den of traitors," and has been described as an anti-establishment activist.[6] The party has appealed to some conspiracy theories such as that of the New World Order, and that of the so-called "kleptocorporatocracy" or government of the corporations and those related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as promiting the Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory.[7][8][9] It has also adopted a stance against vaccines and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.[10][11]
