The Democratic Agreement for Catalonia (Catalan: Pacte Democràtic per Catalunya) was a Catalan electoral coalition that contested the Spanish general election on June 15, 1977 for the Congress of Deputies. It was officially registered on May 3, 1977,[1] and focused his speech on the need to approve a statute of autonomy for Catalonia. The coalition consisted of:[2]
- Democratic Convergence of Catalonia (CDC).
- Socialist Party of Catalonia-Regroupment (PSC-R).
- Democratic Left of Catalonia (EDC).
- National Front of Catalonia (FNC).[3]
- Independents.
It obtained 514,647 votes (16.68% of the vote in Catalonia, 2.81% of the votes in Spain) and 11 deputies, of which 5 were for CDC, 4 for PSC-R and 2 of EDC. Its leader was Jordi Pujol. Shortly after the elections the coalition broke: the PSC-R joined the PSOE and the PSC-C to form the PSC, while CDC (in which EDC was merged in 1978) joined Democratic Union of Catalonia (UDC) to form Convergence and Union (CiU).
