Surtaline Democratic Front

The Surtaline Democratic Front (Portuguese: Frente Democrática Surtalina), better known by its acronym FDS, was a Surtaline centrist, with center-left and center-right factions, political party created during the Surtaline military regine in 1967, gathering moderate National Unity and Liberal Front members as well as Social Democratic Party ones, being the only authorized party aside from the situationist Surtaline Liberation Action. Following the constitutional reforms started in 1979 that culminated into the holding of the 1981 regional elections that reestablished multipartyism, the party was officially dissolved with the 1983 presidential elections as several of its members (re)joined either the Social Democratic Party, the National Unity or the Liberal Action while a splinter faction was split between the Surtaline Communist Party and the newly-founded Democracy and Liberty.
