The Spanish Democratic Party (Spanish: Partido Demócrata Español; PADE) was a conservative political party in Spain, created as a split from the centre-right People's Party in 1996. Its chairman was Juan Ramón Calero Rodríguez, former PP spokesperson in Congress.

Ideology[edit]

It regarded itself as being to the right of the People's Party, with some sources regarding it as a far-right party.[1] This was denied by the party,[2] which described itself as christian humanist, liberal-reformist and moderate.
