Freedom and Direct Democracy (Czech: Svoboda a přímá demokracie, short SPD) is a eurosceptic, and pro-direct democracy political party in the Czech Republic. The party was founded in May 2015 by Tomio Okamura and Radim Fiala after a split of a few MPs from the Dawn of Direct Democracy, now Dawn - National Coalition.
Freedom and Direct Democracy is officially named after European Parliament eurosceptic political group Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy. However, the party has official links with Marine Le Pen's National Front which is a member of the other eurosceptic political group in the European Parliament Europe of Nations and Freedom.
