democratici

Democratici is the Italian term for “Democrats” or “democrats.” It is the plural masculine form of democratico, derived from democracy, which in turn comes from the Greek words demos (people) and kratos (rule). In Italian usage, democratici can refer to people who advocate democratic principles, as well as to members of political parties whose name in their own language translates to “Democratic” or “Democratici.”

In political discourse, the word is used to describe supporters of democracy—those who favor regular elections, civil liberties, the rule of law, and political pluralism. It can also refer to adherents of a party or movement identified in its own language as Democratic, Democratici, or similar, depending on national context and historical period.

Historically, various groups or parties around the world have adopted names incorporating the term democratici or its equivalents, reflecting a commitment to democratic governance. The specifics of each group—its platforms, leadership, time frame, and impact—vary by country and era. Because national political nomenclatures differ, the exact meaning of democratici is context dependent: it may indicate a general stance in favor of democracy or designate a formal party label within a particular political system.
