The Union of Democrats "For Lithuania" (Lithuanian: Demokratų sąjunga „Vardan Lietuvos“; DSVL) is a centre-left and green[2][4] Lithuanian political party founded on 29 January 2022 by Saulius Skvernelis, former Prime Minister of Lithuania.[5] The party is moderately socially conservative.[2]
Most of the party's members are former members of the Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union. The party's name "For Lithuania" (Lithuanian: Vardan Lietuvos, literally In Lithuania's Name) is a reference to the final line of the national anthem of Lithuania, Tautiška giesmė.
