The Democratic Party of Socialists (Caeseni: Partito Democratico dei Socialisti, abbreviated as PDS) is a left-wing political party in Marirana. Formed in 2014 as a merger of three left-wing political parties (the Socialist Party, Communist Party of Marirana and Republican Left, it has since grown to become the largest political force in Marirana with a plurality of seats in provincial parliaments and the most amount of seats in both the House of Councillors and House of Senators.
The PDS was formed in 2014 as the successor of the Democratic Coalition of Socialists which had existed from 2010. During the 2013-2014 presidential election the CPS candidate Lorenzo Occhetto came second to the dominant Coalition for Democratic Action candidate Giorgio Macciocchi. Following the 2014 presidential election the CPS became a unitary party - the Democratic Party of Socialists, PDS - formed on the principle of liberation socialism. It became the largest party on a provincial level in 2016 and in 2018 won both the presidency and the largest amount of seats in the House of Councillors and Senators.
The PDS support left-wing political positions, advocating for economic relief for Marirana's poor, the ending of the Mariranan insurgency, a reorientation in Marirana's foreign policy away from Asteria and the assertion of "political and economic sovereignty". The PDS encompasses a wide range of left-wing beliefs, but has generally been described as left-wing populist.
