Social Democrats (Slovenia)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The origins of the current party date from the end of 1989, when the League of Communists of Slovenia decided to renounce the absolute monopoly over political, social and economic life in the Socialist Republic of Slovenia, and agreed to introduce a system of political pluralism. In January 1990, the Slovenian Communists left the League of Communists of Yugoslavia and renamed themselves to Party of Democratic Renewal (SDP - Stranka demokrati¿ne prenove). Former prominent Communist politician Ciril Ribi¿i¿ was elected as the party's new president. The party lost against the DEMOS coalition at the first democratic elections in Slovenia in April 1990, gaining 17,3% of the popular vote. They nevertheless became the single largest party in Slovenia.
