Sovereign Identity (Spanish: Identidad Soberana) is an anti-establishment political party in Uruguay. Founded in 2022, it is led by the lawyer and confrontational activist Gustavo Salle Lorier.
The party entered the Uruguayan parliament for the first time after winning 2 seats in the Chamber of Representatives in the 2024 general election. 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. Salle himself has defined the General Assembly as "the den of the homeland-sellers", and has been described as an anti-establishment activist. The party has appealed to some conspiracy theories such as that of the New World Order, that of the so-called "kleptocorporatocracy" or government of the corporations, and those related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory. It has also adopted a stance against vaccines and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.
