The DemocraticCenterUnion (Spanish: Unión de Centro Democrático, UCD) was a coalition, and later political party, in Spain, existing from 1977 to 1983, and initially led by Adolfo Suárez.
The coalition, in fact a federation of parties, was formed on May 3, 1977, during the transition to democracy from the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, with the involvement of leaders from a variety of newly formed centrist and rightist factions, under the leadership of Suárez, then Prime Minister.
After his resignation, Adolfo Suárez formed the Democratic and Social Center (CDS) to occupy the center ground, competing in the 1982 elections and beyond; other groups were integrated both into the PSOE and the AP.
