Croatian Christian Democratic Party
- Croatian Christian Democratic Party
Croatian Christian Democratic Party ( _hr. Hrvatska kršćanska demokratska stranka", HKDS) is right-wing, conservative political party in Croatia.
It was created in 1990 and modelled after Christian Democrat parties of Western Europe, although, due to specific circumstances of early 1990s Croatia, it had more right wing than centre-right rhetoric. However, during the first parliamentary elections in 1990 the party joined bloc of moderate nationalists called Coalition of People's Accord. Like all parties of that bloc, it fared badly, but one year later it had ministerial post in the "National Unity" government of Franjo Gregurić.
In 1992 parliamentary elections, HKDS, running on its own ticket, failed to enter Croatian Parliament, while its leader Ivan Cesar finished seventh in presidential race. This fiasco led HKDS to unite with Croatian Democratic Party (HDS) into Croatian Christian Democratic Union.
Dissident faction of HKDS continued to operate under party's old name.
