The Democratic Union Movement (French: Mouvement Union Démocratique, MUD) was a political alliance in Monaco.

History

The MUD was established in 1963 as an alliance of trade unions and Communists, including the Union of Trade Unions of Monaco.[1] It won one seat in the 1963 elections, with the National Democratic Union (UND) winning the other 17.[2] It lost its seat in the 1968 elections (in which the UND won all 18 seats), but won a single seat again in the 1973 elections. It lost the seat in 1978, and did not contest any further elections.[3]
