History

At Počivalšek's takeover on the lead of the political party in 2019 he announced consolidation of SMC party. On SMC congress on 16 September Počivalšek announced a fusion with GAS, which was led by the president of the National Council of Slovenia, Alojz Kovšca. Delegates of both parties supported the merger, they also announced a merger with a few^{[ quantify ]} smaller local parties. GAS made a decision about consolidation in November 2021.

On 4 December 2021, SMC merged with the extra-parliamentary Economic Activity Party. ^[2] With this, SMC's membership in Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE) was automatically terminated. ^[3] After the process, newly formed Concretely kept its five members of the Parliament.
