Partido de Concertación Nacional

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Partido de Concertación Nacional (PCN) (German: Party of the National Coalition, until 2011 Partido de Conciliación Nacional , Party of National Reconciliation) is a conservative party in El Salvador .

In the elections on March 16, 2003, the party won 13.0% of the votes cast and thus 16 out of 84 seats in parliament. In the 2004 presidential election, her candidate, José Rafael Machuca Zelaya, won 2.7% of the vote.

According to the law, the party should have been dissolved after the 2004 election because it failed to comply with the 3% clause. However, she was allowed by decree to maintain her registration. On April 30, this decree was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court and the party was officially dissolved. However, the party was effectively re-established in September 2011 when it registered with the electoral authority as Concertación Nacional (CN). In September 2012 she added the word 'Partido' to the name and has been using her traditional abbreviation PCN again since then.
