The Democratic Party of the Atlantic (Partido Democrático do Atlântico, pron. IPA: [pɐɾ'tidu dɨmu'kɾatiku du ɐ'tlɐ̃tiku]) is one of the political parties in Portugal, without parliamentary representation. It is a small party whose electorate concentrates itself in São Miguel island, in the Azores. Many of its cadre originate in fascist regime organizations, and the Azores Liberation Front (FLA), that promoted terrorism after the 25 April 1974 revolution. PDA promotes, officially, not independence, but home rule for the Azores, following the example of the Bermudas. It seldom gets more than 1% of the votes, even in the Azores.
