DP, being a moderately right wing party had promised a freer press and wider scope of basic liberties during the election campaign.
However the decision of the government was not shared by all parliament members of DP and 11 MPs proposed a law to expand the press freedom in 1955.
The expelled MPs together with 19 MP supporters founded the Liberty Party on 20 December 1955.

One of the supporters of the Liberty Party was the Forum magazine which was started by Aydın and Nilüfer Yalçın in 1954.
