History
[edit]The party first participated in 1996 legislative election but failed to reach 5% threshold.[2] The party later joined Four-Coalition.
DEU merged with Freedom Union in 2000, and Freedom Union changed its name to Freedom Union – Democratic Union. Members of DEU founded a relatively independent platform, whose members later tried, unsuccessfully, to take over the leadership.[3][4] Platform then left the party and established Democratic Union of the Czech Republic (DEU ČR).[5]
