The New Democracy Party (Portuguese: Partido da Nova Democracia, pronounced [pɐɾˈtiðu ðɐ ˈnɔvɐ ðɨmukɾɐˈsiɐ], PND)[1] was a small Portuguese Eurosceptic liberal-conservative political party. In voting ballots, its name appeared only as New Democracy, with the acronym unchanged. The party was founded in 2003. It was, at the time, a new party which resulted from Manuel Monteiro's separation from the Democratic and Social Centre – People's Party. The party was a member of the EUDemocrats. Manuel Monteiro eventually would leave the party in 2009, which was led, since then, by Joel Viana until its dissolution.
The party was considered centrist and was the personal party of Monteiro, and was dominated by him. It campaigned on the theme of political renewal and fighting the Portuguese establishment in favor of a more pluralistic electoral environment, where independents and non-aligned parties would be given a chance to enter politics.[4] It was described as a populist, Eurosceptic and nationalist party that protested the dominance of Portuguese politics by only two parties - the CDS-PP and the PSD.[2] The party was also characterized as moderately conservative, and aimed to become the main rival of the Christian-democratic CDS-PP.[1]
