Gitte Seeberg (born on 25 June 1960 in Copenhagen) is a Danish politician and member of parliament. She has previously been a Member of the European Parliament.
Seeberg is a former member of the Conservative People's Party and a former Member of the Bureau of the European People's Party. She left this party on 7 May 2007 to be a co-founder of the party New Alliance. On January 29, 2008, she left the party in protest against the party's status as a right-wing party, which conflicted with her own desire to form a centrist party rejecting the influence of the Danish People's Party.[1]
