The Christian Democratic Party (Spanish: Partido Demócrata Cristiano; PDC) was a Spanish Christian democratic political party, founded in 1977. The leaders of the PDC were Fernando Álvarez de Miranda and Íñigo Cavero.

History

The party was founded through the merge of the Spanish Democratic Union and the Christian Democratic People's Party,[1] along with some independents. The party joined the Union of the Democratic Centre for the Spanish elections of 1977, gaining 17 seats in the Congreso de los Diputados,[2] officially joining the centrist party in February 1978.[3]
