The Party of Reason (Partei der Vernunft - PDV) is a libertarian political party in Germany founded in 2009 by the journalist and author Oliver Janich.

Endorsement by Ron Paul

I applaud the PDV for crafting an outstanding manifesto for liberty. It calls for the rule of law; sound money; low taxes; and a noninterventionist defense policy. These principles apply to any free society, and they are the principles that libertarians must fight for around the world.[2]
