Sustainable Development of Croatia (Croatian: Održivi razvoj Hrvatske) or ORaH (Orah meaning walnut in Croatian) is a green liberal political party in Croatia.
Creation
The party was formed in 2013. Its leader is a former Minister of Environmental Protection and Nature and Social Democratic Party MP Mirela Holy. She won the seat in the Sabor as a member of Social Democratic Party which she left after some disagreements over party leadership.
In the May 2014, the party came close to 10% of the vote and elected one MEP, Davor Škrlec who sits with the Greens in the European Parliament. Later that year, the minor green party Green List merged into ORaH.
2015 Parliamentary Election
On 23 July 2015 it was announced that an independent MP Mladen Novak is joining ORaH. He is a former Croatian Labourists – Labour Party member who left the party after it started negotiating to join Kukuriku coalition. Another former labourist MP, Zlatko Tušak, joined the party on 18 September 2015, giving ORaH a third MP ahead of the elections.
In the Croatian parliamentary election, 2015, ORaH fared worse than any opinion poll had predicted gaining less than 2% of the vote, and no MP. It is the largest party outside of the Sabor.
