The New Democracy Party (Portuguese: Partido da Nova Democracia, pronounced [pɐɾˈtiðu ðɐ ˈnɔvɐ ðɨmukɾɐˈsiɐ], PND) was a small Portuguese Eurosceptic and nationalist political party, which existed from 2003 to 2015. In voting ballots, its name appeared only as New Democracy, with the acronym unchanged. The PND originated from Manuel Monteiro's split from the Democratic and Social Centre – People's Party (CDS–PP). It was a member of the EUDemocrats.
