The Movement for Rights and Freedoms (Bulgarian: Движение за права и свободи Dvizhenie za prava i svobodi, ДПС, DPS; Turkish: Hak ve Özgürlükler Hareketi, HÖH[6]) is a centrist[5] political party in Bulgaria with a support base among ethnic minority communities.
It was a member of the Liberal International and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE). While representing the interests of Muslims, especially Turks and to a lesser extent Pomaks (Muslim Bulgarians), the party also receives the largest share of Romani votes.
Following a leadership dispute prior to the October 2024 elections, party members split into two separate electoral coalitions: Democracy, Rights and Freedoms (loyalists to Ahmed Dogan), and DPS – A New Beginning (led by Delyan Peevski).[7]
