The Partito Democratico Costituzionale (PDC), known in istvanistani as Democratic Constitutional Party, is a Vegnese social liberal party founded in 1705 AN at the end of the constitutional works. The Gioventù Democratica is the youth wing of the party.
History
The party was born as the home of the socioliberals of Vegno, with the aim of winning the presidency in the first national elections.
At the end of the 1706 Vegno Elections, the PDC becomes part of the ruling coalition, with its leader Antonio Visciglia that was elected as president.
Ideology
The party emphasizes mutual collaboration through liberal institutions, endorses a market economy and aims to insure a "positive liberty", seeking to enhance the "positive freedoms" of the poor and disadvantaged in society by means of government regulation.
The PDC supports a mixed economy of mainly private enterprise with some state provided or guaranteed public services (ex: obligatory universal health insurance, with the state paying a basic health insurance to the most poor of the society) and strongly defends human rights and civil liberties. The party is opposed to isolationism and pushes for a foreign policy that can quickly place the nation in a diplomatically dominant role on the continent.
Leadership
Party leader is commonly referred as Segretario Nazionale and is elected through internal primaries. The term of office is not specified, but party members can vote a motion of no confidence against their leader at any time.
