Christian Democrat Party of Colombia (Napoleon's World)

The Christian Democrat Party (Span: Partido de la Democracia Cristiano), also referred to by its acronym of PDC, is one of the three major political parties in Colombia, generally regarded as the main right-wing party, endorsing Catholicism as the official state religion, implementing a conservative social policy and using a centrist economic policy heavy on charity and social work. Dominant in the 1950's and 1960's, the PDC drifted towards the right with the rise in power of the Republicans in the 1970's, remaining in opposition to both the Republicans and Socialists from 1974 until 2010, when PDC candidate Cristo Zapata won the Presidency, giving the Christian Democrats the Palacio Bolivariano for the first time in 36 years. They are currently a minority party in the Colombian Congress, which is controlled by the Socialists.
