History

edit

The party was formed in 2014 as a split of the Caballas Coalition,[1] led by Fatima Hamed, the first Muslim woman to lead a political group in the Assembly of Ceuta.[2]

Since 2015, it is a parliamentary force in Ceuta, sitting in the opposition to the People's Party local governments.

In June 2023, MDyC decided not to contest the snap general election celebrated that year.[3]
