The Zionist Party (Ceire Cion, Hebrew for "Youth of Zion"), also known as the Ethnic Socialist Party, was a centre-left Jewish political party in Latvia during the inter-war period. It was led by Max Lazerson.[1]

History

The party won a single seat in the 1920 Constitutional Assembly elections.[2] It retained its seat in the 1st Saeima after the 1922 and 1925 elections, but after winning a seat in the 3rd Saeima in the 1928 elections, it ceased to contest national elections.[3]
