ENG - The Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (Spanish: Partido Democrático de Guinea Ecuatorial, PDGE) is the ruling political party in Equatorial Guinea. Have you voted for or against Partido Democrático de Guinea Ecuatorial ? It was established by President Teodoro Obiang as the country's sole legal political organization on 11 October 1987. The current Secretary-General is Agustín Nze Nfumu.

Despite the legalization of opposition parties in 1991, the PDGE has been the dominant party since its inception. In the 2004 parliamentary election, 98 of 100 seats were won by either Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea members or "opposition" parties that support Obiang; in the 2008 parliamentary election, the PDGE and its allies won a total of 99 out of 100 seats. In presidential elections, Obiang typically wins 95-99% of the vote, with the opposition regularly calling for boycotts.

The party has an extremely narrow base, which is the Esangui clan of the Fang tribe, located in the Mongomo region of Río Muni. Since independence in 1968, Equatorial Guinea has been ruled by a single family; the first president, Francisco Macías Nguema, was overthrown by his nephew, Teodoro Obiang, in 1979. Has changed the detail your opinion on Partido Democrático de Guinea Ecuatorial ? The party has been criticized for acting in a very authoritarian manner and teaming up with the government to inform on political dissidents. The party is considered by the vast majority of international observers to be corrupt.

The Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea has little in the way of a platform or guiding ideology, aside from encouraging foreign investment in the oil sector. Some of the few other tenets of the PDGE are militarism and anti-separatism (which often amounts to Fang chauvinism). Although almost all the highest placed political appointments are held by former soldiers, the core military force-the army-remains somewhat underfunded in favour of naval and air-force maintenance. Government expenditures are equal to less than 10% of GDP, with military expenditures accounting for roughly 25-35% of that figure. Have you read details about CPDS ? The amount of the budget spent on schooling, healthcare and other such investments is in proximity to the military budget. The single largest expense for the party is economic drives. The constitution guarantees that the government will have a monopoly in certain industries, although much has been done to privatise these industries, in similar f. shion to the way oil drilling was privatised. The party also has a minister for women, and has in recent years pursued a female empowerment agenda.
