Lea Manders, founder and former leader of the party

The Party for Human and Spirit (MenS) was founded on 11 March 2008 by astrologer Lea Manders.[2] Since 2010, it has taken part in several elections, but it never managed to win any seats.

In the 2017 general election, MenS participated in a combined list with the Basic Income Party (BIP) and the movement Peace and Justice (V&R), with Tara-Joëlle Fonk as lijsttrekker.

Name change

In September 2020, the name of the party was changed to De Nieuwe Mens.[3] The party had intended to take part in the 2021 general election, but ultimately did not submit the required documents to the Electoral Council.[3][4]
