The Democratic Junta of Spain (Spanish: Junta Democrática de España, JDE) was a Spanish organization that coordinated various pro-democracy parties, unions and associations (all illegal) during the late Francoist dictatorship.
The Democratic Junta of Spain was a body created by the initiative of Antonio García-Trevijano, seeking to form a coalition of political, union and social forces of the opposition to the Franco dictatorship, including the Communist Party of Spain, led by Santiago Carrillo, and independent personalities linked to Don Juan de Borbón, led by Rafael Calvo Serer. The JDE was officially launched on July 29, 1974 in Paris by Santiago Carrillo and Rafael Calvo Serer. Subsequently the Party of Labour of Spain (PTE), the Carlist Party led by Carlos Hugo de Borbón Parma, the Popular Socialist Party (PSP) led by Enrique Tierno Galván and Raul Morodo, the Socialist Alliance of Andalusia, the union Comisiones Obreras, the Association Justicia Democrática and a number of independent figures such as José Vidal Beneyto and aristocrat José Luis de Vilallonga joined the Junta.
