Democratic Party (Escandria)

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Democratic Party of Escandria (Spanish: El Partido Democrático de Escandria) is one of the four major political parties in Escandria. It was founded in 1863 by a group of socially-minded nobles in the Kingdom of Escandria, who were growing uneasy with the monarchy's hold onto power in Escandria.

The party was a major player in the Escandrian Revolution of 1878, with its leaders going on to form the first Government of Escandria. Many of the party's own values were enshrined in the Constitution of Escandria, and formed the basis of Escandria's commitment to democracy.

The party has held power for large period's in the country's history, with a majority of Presidents and First Ministers belonging to the Democrats. The current President and First Minister, Alfonso Velasco Almánzar and Octávia Montero Alamilla, are both members of the party.
