New Right (Denmark)
Nye Borgerlige (NB for short and often translated as the New Right) is a national-conservative and right-wing populist political party in Denmark. Formed by Pernille Vermund and Peter Seier Christensen in 2015, the party first entered the Danish Parliament, the Folketing, in the 2019 general election with four seats (out of 179) and again in the 2022 general election with six seats. After three defections in the first months after the election, by March 2023 the party's number of seats in the Folketing was reduced to three.

In January 2024, founder and party leader Vermund surprisingly announced that she had recommended the dissolution of Nye Borgerlige to its national executive, and she and the other remaining two parliamentarians left the party, Vermund joining Liberal Alliance a week later. The national executive announced that it would make a plan for the party's dissolution, whereas several local party activists have said that they oppose the plan and intend to continue the party's existence.
The youth wing of the party is Nye Borgerliges Ungdom (NBU).
