Christian Democracy (Portuguese: Democracia Cristã, DC) is a Christian democratic political party in Brazil. It was founded in 1995 as the Christian Social Democratic Party (Portuguese: Partido Social Democrata Cristão, PSDC),[5] and was officially registered in 1997.[6] the party is presided by José Maria Eymael, who has competed the presidential elections six times.[7] In 2017, it changed its name to the current one.[8]
The PSDC was established to be a continuation of the Christian Democratic Party, which had merged with the Democratic Social Party to form the Reform Progressive Party in 1993.[5]
