The '''Liberal Democratic Center''' ([[Greek language|Greek]] Φιλελεύθερον Δημοκρατικόν Κέντρον - ΦΙ.ΔΗ.Κ. - FIDIK) was a curious centre-right political party founded in [[1965]] by some 45 members of the [[Hellenic Parliament]] that defected from the majority [[Center Union]] party of [[Georgios Papandreou]].
[[King Constantine II]] put up, in succession, three of its members for the post of PM of [[Greece]]: poet [[Georgios Athanasiadis-Novas]], former leftist politician [[Elias Tsirimokos]] and finally [[Stephanos Stephanopoulos]] who, unlike the previous two, actually did obtain a vote of confidence in Parliament. That government was brought down in [[1966]] when the conservative [[National Radical Union]], on whom which FIDIK depended for support, decided to withdraw that support.
FIDIK ceased to exist after the coup d'etat of [[April 21]], [[1967]].
