The Convergence of Democrats of Navarre[1][2] (Spanish: Convergencia de Demócratas de Navarra, CDN), also referred to as Navarrese Democratic Convergence,[3] was a regionalist political party of the Spanish autonomous community of Navarre that split from Navarrese People's Union (UPN) in the 1990s, after this party became part of the conservative pan-Spanish People's Party. The break-away faction gathered around the figure of Juan Cruz Alli, former President of Navarre.
