The party was established by supporters of Drąsius Kedys, who claimed that justice officials had whitewashed a ring of pedophiles after his daughter had been sexually molested. Kedys died under unclear circumstances in 2010. Among the party's founders is Neringa Venckienė, a former judge. The party's name alludes to Kedys' first name Drąsius which means "the brave".[3] The goals include changes in the justice system, e.g. the establishment of trial by jury. In 2012 General Election the party gained approximately 8% of the popular vote.
