Peru The Christian Democrats
The Christian Democratic Party (Partido Demócrata
Cristiano--
PDC) was a relatively small, center-right party influenced
by
Christian Democratic thought. Slightly more conservative
than the
AP, the PDC, which was founded in 1956, also was perceived
to be
more to the right as Peru's spectrum shifted left. The PDC
on its
own was not able to garner an electoral representation of
over 10
percent after 1980. A splinter group, the Popular
Christian Party
(Partido Popular Cristiano--PPC), was founded by Luis
Bedoya
Reyes (the mayor of Lima from 1963 to 1966) in 1966.
