Civic Movement
The Civic Movement was a liberal political party based in the Czech Republic, which existed from 1991 to 1996. The party was established after the break-up of Civic Forum by the liberal wing of Civic Forum, while the conservative wing established the Civic Democratic Party. Jiří Dienstbier was elected leader of the Civic Movement. The party participated in the 1992 legislative election but failed to reach the required 5% threshold and was left without parliamentary representation. The party then renamed itself as the Free Democrats. The party merged with the Czech National Social Party in 1996. Some former members of OH later established the Party for the Open Society.
