The Democratic Federal Republican Party (Spanish: Partido Republicano Democrático Federal) was a Spanish political party founded in 1868, during the Glorious revolution, that was active until 1912. Its ideology was federal republicanism and progressivism.

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 failed in its goal of consolidating a republican form of government and in establishing federalism. Since the fall of the I Republic the party became minoritary, although maintained some influence in the republican movement during the Restoration.
