Liberal Democratic Congress

PollibThe Liberal Democratic Congress ("Kongres Liberalno-Demokratyczny") was a liberal-christian party in Poland. The party, led by Donald Tusk, had roots in the Solidarity movement. It advocated free market economy and individual liberty, rejected all extremism and fanaticism and favoured European integration (in the form of European Union membership), rapid privatisation of the enterprises still owned by the Polish state and decentralisation of the government.In 1991 general elections KLD got 7,5% of the votes and 37 seats in the Sejm (total 460 seats). In 1993 KLD got 4,0% of the votes and was left without seats. It merged on March 20 1994 with the Democratic Union (Unia Demokratyczna) into the "Freedom Union" ("Unia Wolności", UW). Some of the former KLD members decided in January 2001 to move to join the new Citizens' Platform.
