The Freedom Party (Albanian: Partia e Lirisë, PL), formerly known as the Socialist Movement for Integration (Albanian: Lëvizja Socialiste për Integrim, LSI), is a social democratic political party in Albania.[4] The party was formed on 6 September 2004, when Ilir Meta defected from the Socialist Party of Albania (PS).[7][8][9] A proposal to change its logo, name and other symbols was unanimously approved at the party's National Convention (Congress) on 25 July 2022.

Through the use of the term "movement", the party attempted to give the message that it is open and inclusive. The other reason for using this term was its intention to differentiate itself from the other parties.[10] It employed the one member, one vote system in March 2005 to elect its leader, Ilir Meta.[10]
