The sign ⇒ means a reference to another party in that scheme. For inclusion in this scheme it isn't necessary so that parties labeled themselves as a liberal party.

[edit] Introduction

Liberalism did never play an important role in Slovakia and never grew to become a major force. The Alliance of the New Citizen (Aliancia Nového Občana, observer LI, member ELDR) is a right of center market liberal party.

• 1989: Hungarian liberals establish the Independent Hungarian Initiative (Független Magyar Kezdeményesez)
