History
In 1868, the left-wing and federalist republican wing of the Democrats established the Democratic Federal Republican to achieve a secular and democratic federal republic in Spain.[3]
The PRDF was the ruling party during the First Spanish Republic (1873–1874), but it failed in its goal of consolidating a republican form of government and in establishing federalism. Since the fall of the First Republic, the party became minoritary, although maintained some influence in the republican movement during the Restoration.
