It is a social liberal party〔 which rejects peripheral nationalism in all forms, including the separatist Basque and Catalan movements. The party proposes substituting current election law for a more-proportional one,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=browser – TPL_WARP_OUTDATEDBROWSER_PAGE_TITLE )〕 and wants a federal system for Europe without overlap between the European, national and regional governments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=12 propuestas de UPyD | Europa federal )〕 Mikel Buesa at a 2007 party presentation and Irene Lozano in a 2013 television interview have explained the origin of the three concepts which make up the party's name: "Union" because of their unconditional defence of "the unity of Spain"; "Progress" because they affirm to be "a progressive party, respectful of individual freedom", and "Democracy" because they are "a radical party which is committed to deepen democracy".〔 ("Unión: defendemos la unidad de España. Progreso: somos progresistas y Democracia: somos demócratas radicales" ) – ''UPyD's Official Twitter''〕 UPyD first stood for election in the 9 March 2008 general election. It received 303,246 votes, or 1.2 percent of the national total, and one seat in the Congress of Deputies〔(2008 Cortes Generales Election Results ). Ministerio del Interior. 10 March 2008. Last Retrieved 10 April 2008. (Spanish)〕 for party co-founder Rosa Díez, becoming the newest party with national representation in Spain. Although its core is in the Basque Autonomous Community, with roots in anti-ETA civic associations, it addresses a national audience. Prominent members of the party include philosopher Fernando Savater, party founder and former PSOE MEP Rosa Díez, philosopher Carlos Martínez Gorriarán and writer Álvaro Pombo. At its Second Party Congress in November 2013, UPyD reported 6,165 registered members (down from an all-time high of 6,634 in 2011. In 2009 the party founded the think tank Fundación Progreso y Democracia (FPyD: Progress and Democracy Foundation), which has been presided over by UPyD spokesperson Rosa Díez.〔(Presentación (Spanish) ), Fundación Progreso y Democracia website, Retrieved 6 April 2014〕 In the most-recent general elections, held on 20 November 2011, the party won 1,143,225 votes (4.70 percent), five seats in the Congress of Deputies (four in Madrid and one in Valencia) and became the fourth-largest political force in the country. It had the greatest increase of votes over the previous general election of any party. ==Origins== On 19 May 2007, 45 people met in San Sebastián to discuss the creation of a new political party opposing both major parties (the People's Party and the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) at the national level. Most present were Basques, many of whom had long experience in political, union and civic organizations with left-wing, liberal and activist backgrounds. After the meeting, to create a broad-based social and political project they formed the Plataforma Pro organization. This united those who considered it necessary to form a new national political party appealing to people across the democratic political spectrum. Its platform was: * The fight against ETA and politically-motivated violence * Regeneration of Spanish democracy * Opposition to compulsory nationalism * Reforming the Spanish Constitution of 1978 to reinforce civil liberties and equality, independent of regional origin Among the supporters of Plataforma Pro were philosopher Fernando Savater, ''¡Basta Ya!'' coordinator and spokesman Carlos Martínez Gorriarán and former Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) MEP Rosa Díez. Díez resigned her PSOE membership and her MEP position in August 2007 to become involved with the UPyD project. Groups supporting Plataforma Pro included Citizens of Catalonia (notably Albert Boadella, Arcadi Espada and Xavier Pericay) and ''¡Basta Ya!'', a major influence on the new movement. In September 2007, Forum Ermua president Mikel Buesa announced their intention to participate in the political party arising from Plataforma Pro; he resigned in 2009 due to disagreements with Rosa Díez. At a 29 September 2007 meeting in the auditorium of the Casa de Campo in Madrid, the new party was formed. Participants in its formation included Catalan dramatist Albert Boadella, Basque philosopher Fernando Savater, Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa and Rosa Díez. Also present were journalist Arcadi Espada, anthropologists Teresa Giménez Barbat and Felix Perez Romera (three prominent Citizens of Catalonia members), historian Antonio Elorza, painter Agustín Ibarrola, former Forum Ermua leader Mikel Buesa, philosopher Carlos Martínez Gorriarán, Citizens deputies Albert Rivera and Antonio Robles, Peruvian writer Fernando Iwasaki, former UGT secretary general Nicolas Redondo and People's Party Basque MP Fernando Maura. Maura joined the new party's advisory council on 6 November 2007. Writer Álvaro Pombo later expressed support for UPyD, running as a candidate for the party. 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, Progress and Democracy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
