Socialist Democracy (Spanish: Democracia Socialista, DS) was a Spanish political party of socialist ideology founded in 1990 by Ricardo García Damborenea, the ex-leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in the province of Biscay.
History[edit]
The party was formed after García Damborenea was expelled from the PSOE for trying to create an "internal current" and "[parallel] structure" of the same name.[2][3] In 1992 the party joined the Coalition for a New Socialist Party, which failed to gain any representation at the national or regional level.
