The PTT appeared as a response to the continuity and consolidation of the system structures before 1989 and the development of corrupt and immoral politicians. The founders believed that the latter have threatened the existence of the Romanian nation and the Romanian unitary national state, threatening Romania with isolation from the civilized world. The old fighters considered that the National Resistance should continue, but under the conditions and frameworks provided by the rule of law. The PTT worshipped prominent figures in the Iron Guard, such as Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, Horia Sima, or Radu Gyr,
