Catalan European Democratic Party
Political party in Spain / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Catalan European Democratic Party (Catalan: Partit Demòcrata Europeu Català, PDeCAT, sometimes stylized as PDECat), initially branded as the Catalan Democratic Party (Catalan: Partit Demòcrata Català, PDC), was a liberal political party in Spain that supported Catalan independence.[13] The party was founded in Barcelona on 10 July 2016 and dissolved on 28 October 2023.[14] PDeCAT was regarded as the successor party to Democratic Convergence of Catalonia (CDC), which for most its history was a constituent party of the Convergence and Union (CiU) political formation.[lower-alpha 1][13]

The party declared to have 14,000 members in the 2018–2019 period,[18] but this number has recently been revised down to figures as low as 5,000 as a result of internal infighting over former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont's strategy and a number of party splits.[2]
