History

The PCD was formed in 1947 with the democrats within the Reformist Party (which disappeared at the same time) to oppose both the PUN of extreme right and even fascist tendencies and the Communist Party which had a Leninist tendency and had some success preventing those parties from entering the government in coalitions with the DCV and the PFP. The party has moved from liberalism to social democrat only in the last decade.
