Convergència Democràtica de Catalunya

Convergència Democràtica de Catalunya (CDC) was a Catalan political party in Spain, established in 1974, that promoted Catalan nationalism and autonomy. It aimed to increase self-governance for Catalonia within Spain, emphasizing cultural identity and economic development. The party played a significant role in regional politics and the push for Catalan independence. In 2016, CDC merged with other groups to form the Catalan European Democratic Party (PDeCAT). CDC's influence shaped Catalonia's political landscape, reflecting a strong regionalist and independence movement, though it faced both support and controversy over its objectives and policies.
