Democratic Convergence of La Franja (in Catalan: Convergència Democràtica de la Franja; CDF) is a catalanist and liberal political party active in the Catalan-speaking area of Aragon, known as La Franja.
CDF has two main objectives:
CDF was founded in 2009 by splitters of Alternativa Cívica, a local party in the municipality of Fraga.[1] In the European elections of the same year the secretary-general of the party participated in the list of Democratic Convergence of Catalonia (CDC).
In the local elections of 2011 CDF gained 4 town councillors and 1 mayor, in Pont de Montanyana/Puente de Montañana.[2] In the same elections, CDF gained the 7.8% of the vote in Arén, 16% in Sopeira, 2.29% in Benabarri/Benabarre and 3.28% in Fraga.
The party opposed the new Aragonese languages law of 2013, which they considered anti-Catalan.[3]
CDF did not participate in the local elections of 2015.[4]
