Centrists of Catalonia (Catalan: Centristes de Catalunya, Spanish: Centristas de Cataluña, CC–UCD) was a Catalan-based electoral alliance formed in June 1978 ahead of the upcoming local and general elections,[2][3] comprising the Catalan section of the Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD), the Union of the Centre of Catalonia (UCC) and the Democratic Union–Broad Centre (UDCA).[4][5][6] The alliance was maintained after the election, with UCD and UDCA agreeing to transform it into a full-fledged political party in December 1979 with the disagreement of the UCC, which chose not to join the new party.[7][8] At its foundation congress held on 22 December 1979, Antón Cañellas was elected as new party president.[9][10]
