Demokrāti.lv

The Demokrāti.lv, known as the New Democrats (Latvian: Jaunie Demokrāti, JD) prior to 2009, was a left-wing[2] and "Euro-realist" political party in Latvia.

It was formed in 2004 when two members of the Latvian parliament, Māris Gulbis and Ināra Ostrovska broke away from the New Era Party.

Before the 2010 Latvian parliamentary election the party was one of the founders of the Made in Latvia political alliance, but shortly afterwards was expelled from it.

Its program stated: "Eurosceptics offer you the opportunity to put an end to irresponsibility, poverty and the arbitrariness of Brussels and its minions.
