History

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.[2] In the same elections, CDF gained the 7.8% of the vote in Arén, 16% in Sopeira, 2.29% in Benabarri and the 3.28% in Fraga. The party opposed the new Aragonese languages law of 2013, that they considered anti-Catalan.[3] CDF didn't participate in the local elections of 2015[4]
