The Party for the Homeland, Military and Police in Reserve and Retirement (Romanian: Partidul pentru Patrie, Militari și Polițiști în Rezervă și Retragere, PPMPRR), sometimes shortened to the Party for the Homeland, Military and Police (Romanian: Partidul pentru Patrie, Militari și Polițiști, PPMP), and formerly known as the National Union for the Progress of Romania (Romanian: Uniunea Națională pentru Progresul României, UNPR) is a political party in Romania. The party was formed in March 2010 as UNPR by independents who had broken away from the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the National Liberal Party (PNL) to support President Traian Băsescu. Tension began soon after the party's formation between former PSD and PNL members over the distribution of leadership positions and the political direction of the new party, with former PSD members dominating. The first party congress to elect its leaders was on 1 May 2010.
On 12 July 2016, former President Traian Băsescu announced that UNPR would merge with his People's Movement Party (PMP) on 20 July 2016, but the process failed and Gabriel Oprea reorganised the party in June 2018. At the PMP congress in March 2021, PMP members formally denounced and dissolved their former union with UNPR.
In March 2025, the party changed its name from the National Union for the Progress of Romania to the Party for the Homeland, Military and Police.
