The Modern Centre Party (Slovene: Stranka modernega centra, SMC) is a political party in Slovenia led by Prime Minister Miro Cerar.

History

The party was established at a congress on 2 June 2014 as the Party of Miro Cerar (Stranka Mira Cerarja, SMC).[5][6] The motivation for its formation was the resignation of Prime Minister Alenka Bratušek on 3 May 2014. Only six weeks after its establishment, on 13 July 2014, the party received 34.6% of the vote in the 2014 parliamentary election, winning a plurality of 36 seats in the National Assembly.[7] Miro Cerar was appointed as the Prime Minister designate.[8]

On 18 September 2014 the Cerar cabinet was formed, with the SMC as lead party in a coalition with the Democratic Party of Pensioners of Slovenia (DeSUS) and Social Democrats (SD).

On 21 November 2014, the SMC was admitted as a full member of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) at the ALDE congress in Lisbon.[9]

On 7 March 2015, at the SMC party congress, the name of the party was changed to Modern Centre Party.[10][11]
