Democratic Party (Portugal)
The Democratic Party (, ), officially known as the Portuguese Republican Party ( ), was a Portugal, Portuguese centre-left political party during the Portuguese First Republic.

Other names were given to the members of the Democratic Party, like the Afonsists, named after Afonso Costa.
