In 2015, then South Ossetian president Leonid Tibilov proposed a referendum on the annexation of South Ossetia into Russia, with Unity of the People issuing a press release calling for such a referendum to take place immediately and that annexation is the "dream of a generation."[2]
In the party's 2019 congress they focused on agricultural issues stating that “The most important thing today is attention to agricultural issues, it is necessary to determine the fertility of the land, which will allow developing horticulture, viticulture and raising cattle. Today, 90% of agricultural products are imported from Russia. We must be self-sufficient,”[3]
