History

Liberalism has never influenced politics in Slovakia. The neoliberal Alliance of the New Citizen (Aliancia Nového Občana, observer LI, member ELDR) campaigns on a relatively liberal platform.

From Independent Hungarian Initiative to Hungarian Civic Party

• 1989: Hungarian liberals establish the Independent Hungarian Initiative (Független Magyar Kezdeményezés)
• 1992: The party is renamed the Hungarian Civic Party (Magyar Polgári Párt)
• 1998: The party merged into the Hungarian Coalition Party (Magyar Koalíció Pártja)

From Alliance of Democrats to Democratic Union of Slovakia

• 1993: Dissidents from the Movement for a Democratic Slovakia established the Alliance of Democrats of the Slovak Republic, led by Milan Kňažko
• 1994: The party merged with a second dissident group, the Alliance for Political Realism, into the Democratic Union of Slovakia (Demokratická Únia na Slovensku)
• 2002: The party merged into the Slovak Democratic and Christian Union (Slovenská demokratická a kresťanská únia)

Alliance of the New Citizen

• 2001: Liberals around Pavol Rusko established the Alliance of the New Citizen (Aliancia Nového Občana)
• 2007-2009: End of the activity
