Hrvatski Liberalni Demokrati (HLD) was one of the oldest parties in Croatia. It was always in the top 6 biggest parties in Croatia since the foundation till ending in 2011 (the only exception was June 2010 takeover). The greatest achievement of the new HLD is the Congress System which secured that all congressman stay in the Congress for the whole mandate. In June 2010 party takeover has forced party leaders to switch to the new party so the old ID 2331 was replaced with the new one - 2959. After eCroatia being erased from the map of eWorld and getting back on it, all of the parties are taken to eSerbia. Party leaders managed to replace the old party with a new one. The latest ID was 3232. It was reborn in January 2016 as Liberalni Demokrati.
History
The party was founded by Lukok in December 2008. There is quite little data about the beginnings of the HLD as there were lot of changes in the party leadership. In March, top politicians from Hrvatska Ujedinjena Stranka (HUS) were unhappy with the status of their current party and joined HLD with ambitions to build the strongest party in Croatia. They decided not to change the party name, but from March when someone was talking about HLD, they new that this was the new HLD.
New HLD
People who started this new HLD arrived on 27th and 28th February 2009. They were Borg Master and bojanski. After their arrival, other from HUS came (Andycro, Junior Soprano, Josip Josipovic, GP.1, Ice_1, zugec, Branimir Vukadin, Tomislav, Ivan Veliki, Kachaa) and others) and revived HLD. It was very interesting that former Croatian President Roby Petric joined HLD.
The acceptance
As New HLD was opposition to the Hrvatska Demokratska Stranka, the leading Party in Croatia, and after Borg Master published his article, country President Split1700 and former Croatian President Roby Petric declared HLD not good for Croatia.
Gathering the influence
For the April 2009 Presidential elections, HLD had their own candidate - andycro. But, the main goal of this campaign was not winning the election, it was recruiting the new members to the party. And new members came. The number of members were doubled.
Country President
Great success was made in July 2009 when all parties decided to support andycro who was later elected as country President, first President that was not from the party Hrvatska Demokratska Stranka.
First women party president
On August 15 2009, HLD again shows the superior thinking from any other party in Croatia. Una73 was elected as Party president and she become first women party president in Croatia.
Paramilitary unit created
At the end of May 2010 the idea of creating the paramilitary unit of HLD has finally starting to realize. Hrvatski sokolovi (Eng. Croatian Hawks) with commander Tina.KA started to work sometime in Mid-June with most of its operation done from Croatian soil. From October, Hrvatski sokolovi weren't related to HLD anymore. They functioned as an autonomous military unit.
June takeover
On June 2010 party elections, Strihnin has won and renamed the party to Mladez Koza Nostre as he was in fact a member of Koza Nostra. This move enraged the leading people of HLD and on special meeting with around 15 members it was decided that party will be moved to one inactive party. It has to be said that GP.1 was the ingame party president from June 17 in this new party, but official party was in fact Denis Radman, a person that should become the party president on June 16 in the old party. On June 20, the party returned to the top 5 Croatian parties.
The end
Nobody really knows what happened to the HLD, but it vanished from the New World. Later it was reborn as Liberalni Demokrati in January 2016.
