The Algerian Party for Democracy and Socialism (French: Parti Algérien pour la Démocratie et le Socialisme, PADS) is a Communist party in Algeria. When in 1993,[1] during the Algerian Civil War, Ettehadi was realigned as a democratic movement resisting Islamism,[2] the Marxist–Leninist wing split apart under the leadership of Abdelhamid Benzine to retain its Marxist–Leninist legacy.[2]
PADS publishes the newspaper Le Lien des Ouvriers et Paysans (The Link of the Workers and Peasants).
