CiU coalition government

The CiU (Convergència i Unió) was a political alliance in Catalonia, Spain, formed in 1978 by two parties: Convergència Democràtica de Catalunya (CDC) and Unió Democràtica de Catalunya (UDC). It primarily aimed to promote Catalan interests, cultural identity, and greater autonomy within Spain. The coalition often governed regional politics, advocating for increased self-governance and economic development. Over time, CiU played a significant role in Catalonia’s political landscape until its dissolution in 2015. It was characterized by centrist and center-right policies, balancing regional aspirations with Spanish national considerations.
