We, the Citizens!

is a Portuguese political party founded by members of the Portuguese Institute of Democracy (Instituto Democracia Portuguesa, IDP) after the large protest against the introduction of a single social tax in 2012.

IDP is a civic association founded in 2007 and advocating the need for a more democratic society, respecting the sovereignty of the people and the rule of law.

It is supported by several prominent judges and legal scholars as well as the famous Portuguese singer and composer José Cid.

One quirk of their performance, however, was their second place in the "Outside Europe" constituency, behind the Portugal à Frente coalition.

The Constitutional Court rejected a petition by the Socialist Party, who came third, to contest the election on the grounds of alleged electoral fraud.
