Aralar has among its purposes:
- Achieving sovereignty for the Basque Country (Euskal Herria), and full recognition of the Basque nation in an international context of free nations.
- To build a new social-political system, secular and leftist, to replace the unjust capitalist system. A new framework based on justice, equality, solidarity, economic and political democracy and freedom, that ensures the survival and development of the Basque people and its personality, as part of a sovereign nation built on a common European project.
- The achievement of peace and political normalization of Euskal Herria, betting on forms of political action and nonviolent civil tools such as dialogue and negotiation
- To assume as one of its political objectives the contribution to a political debate within the plural left wing nationalists, with an eye to the possible restructuring and unification of the political space around a common political project based on ideological principles of internationalist, democratic and socialist left.
- To create a socio-linguistically Basque speaking Euskal Herria, where individuals are multilingual and which accepts and protects cultural and linguistic diversity.
- We want a plural Euskal Herria, where all citizens live under the same conditions, rights and opportunities without discrimination based on race, sex, gender, religion, culture, social background or national origin.
- Solidarity and teamwork in the processes of national and social emancipation that are occurring worldwide.

Marks of Identity
1. Marks of identity of ARALAR. ARALAR is a nationalist and pro-independence left wing party. The aim of its political activity is the creation of the Federal Republic of The Basque Country. The Republic of Basque Country is to be built on the free adhesion of its citizens.
2 Territoriality and citizenship. Territoriality can not establish itself as a closed concept, which is based solely on historical or cultural criteria, and that concept should not give greater importance to the physical territory than to the people who inhabit it. The seven historical territories that form The Basque Country are the limit of our territory. If things go as we wish, those territories will shape the future Republic of The Basque Country. The duty of us, the Basque independentists, is to achieve the free adhesion of the citizens of those territories to our national project.
3 Decision-making scope: self-determination. The Basque Country is a nation structured in base of his distinct historical territories, as a consequence of both political imposition and their own historical evolution. Therefore, we sustain that the whole Basque Country is the subject of the right of self-determination, but the exercise of that right could be implemented at different times in each of the 3 distinct political-administrative scopes that shape our nation. That is to say, the subject of the self-determination is the Basque Country, but the scope of decision could be conformed it the different territories.
ARALAR aims to achieve independence through the exercise of the right of self-determination.
4 Other exercises of sovereignty. ARALAR is committed to the political structuring of Europe. The political configuration of Europe will be the one European citizens, want. So, its citizens should democratically control the Europe we would like to build.
