People's Alliance (Austria) (Cinco De Mayo)

The People's Alliance (German: Volksallianz), referred to as the VA, is an Austrian center-right political party. Ideologically, it is national conservative on foreign policy and state affairs, neoliberal on economic policy and mostly socially conservative with a small and vibrant liberal wing. The VA was formed in 1978 as part of a merger agreement between the Christian Social Party and the majority of the Liberal People's Party.

The VA is currently the majority party in the National Assembly of Austria, making it the government party. It is currently led by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who took over as party chairman in 2001 and became Chancellor in 2003.
