The party was founded through the merge of the Spanish Democratic Union (UDE) and the Christian Democratic People's Party (PPDC),[1][2][3] along with some independents. The party joined the Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD) electoral coalition for the 1977 Spanish general election, gaining 17 seats in the Congress of Deputies,[4] officially merging into the UCD as a unitary party in December 1977[5][6] and dissolving itself in February 1978.[7]
