SNK Union of Independents


The SNK Union of Independents, or SNK, was a small political party in Czech Republic, led since May 2007 by Helmut Dohnálek.
It was founded in 2000 in order to help various non-party affiliated town mayors to take part in regional assembly elections. Later it won two seats in the Senate elections in 2002.
In the 2004 European Parliament Election it stood on a joint ticket with the European Democrats which gained 11% of the vote and elected three MEPs, two of whom are members of the SNK.
In February 2006 the non-parliamentary parties SNK and "European Democrats " merged. The unified party, led by former Foreign Minister Josef Zieleniec, is called "SNK European Democrats ". The pro-European and liberal-conservative SNK-ED is represented by three deputies in the European Parliament.
