History
The party was established after the end of the Communist era as the political arm of the Committee for the Defence of National Interests.[1] It contested the 1990 Constitutional elections, winning a single seat.[2]
For the 1991 elections the party joined the Pre-Electoral Union, an alliance led by the Bulgarian Socialist Party.[3] The alliance finished in second place, winning 106 of the 240 seats.[3]
The party did not contest any further elections until 2001, when it received just 0.04% of the vote.[4]
