{{Short description|Political alliance in Romania}}

{{Politics of Romania}}

The Democratic Group of the Centre ({{langx|ro|Grupul Democrat de Centru}}, GDC) was a political alliance in Romania. Its members were the Socialist-Liberal Party, the Cluj Democratic Party, and the Democratic Romanian Front 16-20.XII.1989 Timișoara. The alliance broke up after the 1990 general elections. The Socialist-Liberal Party (PSL) merged with PNL later that year. However, the former PSL leadership left PNL in 1992 to create PNL-CD.{{Cite web|url=https://aliantadreptei.wordpress.com/2010/06/02/piata-universitatii-de-dreapta-trecut-prezent-si-realpolitik/|title = Piata Universitatii de Dreapta – trecut, prezent si realpolitik|date = 2 June 2010}}

History

Although it failed to win a seat in the Senate, the party won two seats in the Chamber.[http://www2.essex.ac.uk/elect/database/indexElections.asp?country=ROMANIA&election=ro90cd 1990 Parliamentary Elections: Chamber of Deputies] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120205171131/http://www2.essex.ac.uk/elect/database/indexElections.asp?country=ROMANIA&election=ro90cd |date=February 5, 2012 }} University of Essex
