The '''Movement for Democracy''' ({{langx|sk|Hnutie za demokraciu}}) was a [[political party]] in [[Slovakia]] created in 2002 when it split from the [[People's Party – Movement for a Democratic Slovakia|Movement for a Democratic Slovakia]]. From 2002 to 2004 the first leader of the party was [[Ivan Gašparovič]], who served as president of Slovakia from 2004 to 2014. The leader since 2004 was [[Jozef Grapa]].

In the [[2006 Slovak parliamentary election|parliamentary election of 17 June 2006]], the party won 0.6% of the popular vote and lost parliamentary representation. Movement for Democracy was part of the [[Alliance for Europe of the Nations]] from 2002 to 2009.

After 2010, the party became inactive, but not formally disbanded. Its [[shell corporation|shell]] was taken over by former founding member [[Peter Marček]] who renamed it to "Voice of the People" ''(Hlas Ľudu)'' in December 2018. The party was later renamed to [[Republic (Slovakia)|Republic]].
