It was founded as Senátor 21 in December 2017 by Václav Láska, elected to the Senate for Prague 5 in 2014 and re-elected in 2020 and 2026, to bring together independent figures seeking a seat in the upper house. In 2018 its candidate Tomáš Goláň won the Zlín Senate by-election, and its senators formed the Club for Liberal Democracy – SENÁTOR 21. Born of civic engagement and a commitment to clean, principled politics, it has made the defence of democratic standards and the rule of law its hallmark. At the heart of SEN 21's project lie democracy, **the rule of law**, civic responsibility and transparent politics: a determined defence of democratic institutions, **integrity in public life**, and a politics that places principle and accountability above narrow interest. It approaches public affairs in a constructive, pro-European spirit. Within the European Democratic Party, which it joined in 2019, SEN 21 embodies a conviction at the core of the EDP's vision: that democracy and the rule of law are never to be taken for granted, but defended and renewed through transparent, responsible and citizen-minded politics. ## Related news ![SEN 21](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27400%27%20height%3D%27411%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E)![SEN 21](https://democrats.gumlet.io/images/athens-congress-final-photo-24-october.jpg?width=400&height=411&mode=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=50&fp-y=50)[Spazio Pubblico](https://democrats.eu/parties/spazio-pubblico/)[Junts per Catalunya](https://democrats.eu/parties/junts-per-catalunya/) 25 10 2026 [Europe's Democrats Speak: 18 Voices, One Shared Future ](https://democrats.eu/news/europes-democrats-speak-18-voices-one-shared-future/)[Read more](https://democrats.eu/news/europes-democrats-speak-18-voices-one-shared-future/) ![SEN 21](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27400%27%20height%3D%27411%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E)![SEN 21](https://democrats.gumlet.io/images/53723737775_79a92882f2_o-scaled.jpg?width=400&height=411&mode=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=50&fp-y=50)[SEN 21](https://democrats.eu/parties/sen-21/) 17 05 2024 [EDP in Prague: "QUO VADIS EUROPE?", Presentation of the 2024 Manifesto ](https://democrats.eu/news/edp-in-prague-quo-vadis-europe-presentation-of-the-2024-manifesto/)[Read more](https://democrats.eu/news/edp-in-prague-quo-vadis-europe-presentation-of-the-2024-manifesto/) ![SEN 21](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27400%27%20height%3D%27411%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E)![SEN 21](https://democrats.gumlet.io/images/53510568381_bb05011c37_b.jpg?width=400&height=411&mode=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=50&fp-y=50)[SEN 21](https://democrats.eu/parties/sen-21/) 05 03 2024 [Sen21 in Brussels: the Czech member party meets EDP MEPs and EU stakeholders ](https://democrats.eu/news/sen21-at-the-edp/)[Read more](https://democrats.eu/news/sen21-at-the-edp/) ![SEN 21](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27400%27%20height%3D%27411%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E)![SEN 21](https://democrats.gumlet.io/images/52438349677_096b451443_h.png?width=400&height=411&mode=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=50&fp-y=50)[Italia Viva](https://democrats.eu/parties/italia-viva/)[Coalición Canaria](https://democrats.eu/parties/coalici%C3%B3n-canaria/) 21 10 2022 [European Democratic Party Congress in Rome - Renewing Europe: A democratic path ](https://democrats.eu/news/european-democracy-party-congress-in-rom/)[Read more](https://democrats.eu/news/european-democracy-party-congress-in-rom/) ![SEN 21](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27400%27%20height%3D%27411%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E)![SEN 21](https://democrats.gumlet.io/images/EDP.png?width=400&height=411&mode=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=50&fp-y=50)[Generations](https://democrats.eu/topics/generations/)[Stronnictwo Demokratyczne](https://democrats.eu/parties/stronnictwo-demokratyczne/)[SEN 21](https://democrats.eu/parties/sen-21/) 13 07 2022 ["Solutions for Europe" in Czechia ](https://democrats.eu/news/czechia/)[Read more](https://democrats.eu/news/czechia/) ## Sign up for our newsletter Get all the latest information straight to your inbox <!\[CDATA\[YII-BLOCK-BODY-END\]\]>
