Center Democratic Coalition / Union


Explanation:
However, if this were for Argentina (which is not the case) the "Unión del Centro Democrático (at least in this country) was a coalition of small conservative (or right wing) political parties. Their economic platform was based basically on a balanced government budget with zero deficit and on the non-emission/printing of currency not supported by the reserves.

Thank you, in each country it has a different meaning, just as the Labour Party in the UK is not a left wing party. However, you did not say if you agreed with the translation I proposed. The interpretation is a different issue.

Democratic Center Union


Explanation:
No está tan claro lo de no traducir los nombres de partidos políticos.

"Por lo general, la técnica mayormente empleada es la de la traducción literal del nombre del partido -sobre todo, si éste es transparente-, acompañada casi siempre de una glosa que haga posible la comunicación entre el autor y su público o el traductor y el suyo, una traducción sin apenas transformaciones que más que nada es un dispositivo para ayudar al lector a vislumbrar la palabra original..."
