Socialist Democracy ({{langx|es|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

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.[https://elpais.com/diario/1990/04/28/espana/641253610_850215.html Ricardo García Damborenea abandona su partido al ser expulsado por dos años].
