CDC (Convergència Democràtica de Catalunya)

Convergència Democràtica de Catalunya (CDC) was a political party in Catalonia, Spain, advocating for Catalan nationalism and greater autonomy or independence for Catalonia. Founded in 1974, it played a key role in regional politics during Spain's transition to democracy and was associated with center-right policies, including economic development and Catalan cultural identity. In 2016, CDC merged into the Catalan European Democratic Party (PDeCAT).
