The Social Democratic Party (Spanish: Partido Social Demócrata; PSD) was a Spanish social democratic political party, founded in 1976. The leaders of the PDC were Rafael Arias-Salgado and Francisco Fernández Ordóñez.

History

The party was founded through the merge of 6 regional parties: the Social Democratic Group of the Valencian Country, the Social Democratic Party of Asturias, the Andalusian Social Democratic Party, the Basque Social Democratic Party, the Extremaduran Social Democratic Party and the Foral Social Democratic Party of Navarre.

The PSD joined the Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD) in 1977, gaining 14 seats in the 1977 elections.[1] The party dissolved in February 1978, fully joining the UCD[2]
