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

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.
