TheRepublican Democratic Concentration (Italian:Concentrazione Democratica Repubblicana;CDR) was aliberal andrepublican list which contested in theItalian general election of 1946. It was formed in February 1946 byFerruccio Parri, a formerPrime Minister of Italy, andUgo La Malfa, following a split from theAction Party (PdA) which had just turned onsocialist ideas. The two parties that merged into the CDR were:

• theMovement of Republican Democracy (Movimento della Democrazia Repubblicana), born on the initiative of Ferruccio Parri and Ugo La Malfa, who had left the Action Party during the first national congress held in February 1946. The movement also joinedOronzo Reale,Bruno Visentini and, initially,Altiero Spinelli;
• theProgressive Liberal Movement (Movimento Liberale Progressista), founded following the split, within the Italian Liberal Party, of the left faction against the creation of theNational Democratic Union.

Its symbol was a black shield with a star above a little helmet.

The election gave poor results for both the CDR and the PdA. The CDR obtained only 0.4% of the votes and only the two leaders were elected, that decided to join the Republican group in theConstituent Assembly. In September, the CDR merged into theItalian Republican Party.
