The Union of the Democratic Centre ((スペイン語:Unión de Centro Democrático), UCD, also translated as "Democratic Centre Union") was an electoral coalition, and later political party, in Spain, existing from 1977 to 1983. It was initially led by Adolfo Suárez. ==History== The coalition, in fact a federation of parties, was formed on 3 May 1977, during the transition to democracy from the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, with the involvement of leaders from a variety of newly formed centrist and rightist factions, under the leadership of Suárez, then Prime Minister. The principal components of the UCD defined themselves as Christian democrats, liberals, social democrats, or “independents,” the latter frequently comprising conservative elements which had been part of the Franco regime. The parties that made the UCD coalition were: * Christian democrats: * * Christian Democratic Party (PDC) of Fernando Álvarez de Miranda and Íñigo Cavero. * Social democrats: * * Social Democratic Federation (FSD) of José Ramón Lasuén Sancho. It comprised ten regional parties. * * Social Democratic Party of Spain (PSDE) of Francisco Fernández Ordóñez and Rafael Arias Salgado. It comprised six regional parties. * * Independent Social Democratic Party (PSI) of Gonzalo Casado. * * Spanish Social Democratic Union (USDE) of Eurico de la Peña. * Governmentalists: * * People's Party (PP) of Pío Cabanillas, Emilio Attard and José Pedro Pérez Llorca. It comprised seven regional parties. * Liberals: * * Federation of Democratic and Liberal Parties (FPDL) of Joaquín Garrigues Walker and Antonio Fontán. It comprised nine regional parties. * * People's Democratic Party (PDP) of Ignacio Camuñas Solís. * * Liberal Party (PL) of Enrique Larroque. * * Liberal Progressive Party (PPL) of Juan García Madariaga. * Regional parties: * * Extremaduran Regional Action (AREX) of Enrique Sánchez de León. * * Independent Galician Party (PGI) of José Luis Meilán. * * Andalusian Social Liberal Party (PSLA) of Manuel Clavero. * * Canarian Union (UC) of Lorenzo Olarte. * * Murcian Democratic Union (UDM) of Antonio Pérez Crespo. * Later the Independent Social Federation (FSI) of Jesús Sancho Rof was also added to the coalition. Some months later, all these parties were merged and UCD constituted itself as a party on 4 August 1977. The UCD governed Spain to 1982. In the elections of 15 June 1977, the party took 34.4% of the vote and 166 seats of the 350 in the Congress of Deputies. The party governed as a minority and worked with all major parties in the Congress, including the rightist People’s Alliance and the parties of the left, the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and Communists (PCE). Suárez became the first democratically chosen prime minister of Spain after the Franco period. The UCD played a major role in writing the new constitution, as three of the seven members of the constitutional drafting commission, established after those elections, came from the party. In March 1979 the UCD again won the elections but could not attain a majority, with 34.8% of the vote and 168 deputies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Union of the Democratic Centre (Spain)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
