Centrists of Catalonia

Centrists of Catalonia (Catalan: Centristes de Catalunya, Spanish: Centristas de Cataluña, CC–UCD) was a Catalan-based electoral alliance formed in June 1978 ahead of the upcoming local and general elections, comprising the Catalan section of the Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD), the Union of the Centre of Catalonia (UCC) and the Democratic Union–Broad Centre (UDCA). The alliance was maintained after the election, with UCD and UDCA agreeing to transform it into a full-fledged political party in December 1979 with the disagreement of the UCC, which chose not to join the new party. At its foundation congress held on 22 December 1979, Antón Cañellas was elected as new party president.
