Democratic – Neutral – Authentic (German: Demokratisch – Neutral – Authentisch, DNA) is an Austrian right-wing populist political party founded by anti-vaccination activist Maria Hubmer-Mogg. The party was able to collect the necessary petition signatures for ballot access and competed in the 2024 European Parliament election in Austria but did not get enough votes to reach the 4% threshold.
