The '''Timorese Democratic Union''' (((lang-pt|União Democrática Timorense)), '''UDT''') is a [[conservative]] [[political party]] in [[East Timor]]. It was the first party to be established in the country on May 11, 1974, following the [[Carnation Revolution]] in [[Portugal]].<ref name="CAVR founding">((cite web|author=CAVR|authorlink=Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation in East Timor|title=Chega!

== History ==
=== Early history (1974–1975) ===
[[File:Joao Viegas Carrascalao.jpg|thumb|Joao Viegas Carrascalao]]

The UDT originally advocated continued [[Portuguese Timor|links with Portugal]] instead of complete independence, using the [[Tetum]] slogan ''Mate Bandeira Hun'', meaning 'Death in the shadow of the flag', but later formed an alliance with the more [[left-wing]] [[Frente Revolucionaria de Timor-Leste Independente]] (Fretilin) to work towards gradual independence in January 1975. Innitially, the party's programme consisted of democracy, human rights, self-determination and income redistribution. The founders of the party included the brothers [[Mário Viegas Carrascalão|Mário]], [[Manuel Viegas Carrascalão|Manuel]] and [[João Viegas Carrascalão|João Carrascalão]], [[Domingos de Oliveira (politician)|Domingos de Oliveira]] (the first General Secretary), [[Francisco Lopes da Cruz]] and [[César Augusto Mousinho]] (then Mayor of [[Dili]] and Vice President of the UDT). Mário Carrascalão was the founding president, but had to relinquish his office to the former customs officer Lopes da Cruz under pressure from Portuguese officers, as Carrascalão was said to have too close ties to the old dictatorship.<ref name=":0">((Cite book |last=Ramos-Horta |first=José |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2DTAqeeak5sC&dq=3894845562&pg=PA208 |title=Funu: Osttimors Freiheitskampf ist nicht vorbei! |date=1997 |publisher=Ahriman-Verlag GmbH |isbn=978-3-89484-556-8 |language=de))</ref> [[Moisés da Costa Amaral]] was president of the political commission from 1975 to 1989.<ref>((Cite web |title=Declaração de Moisés do Amaral, presidente da Comissão Política da UDT (União Democrática Timorense) |url=http://amrtimor.org/drt/docs/pdfs/docs/05002.106.pdf |access-date=2024-01-09 |website=amrtimor.org|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100304073316/http://amrtimor.org/drt/docs/pdfs/docs/05002.106.pdf |archive-date=4 March 2010 ))</ref> [[Augusto Mouzinho]], the mayor of Dili, became deputy chairman of the UDT.<ref name=":0" />

This alliance lasted for only five months and broke up among accusations that Fretilin was not exercising control over its more extreme members, specifically those of [[Communism|Communist]] leanings. Although by this time UDT leaders like [[Francisco Lopes da Cruz]] had held meetings with [[State Intelligence Agency (Indonesia)|BAKIN]], the then [[Indonesia]]n [[military intelligence]], which had signalled Jakarta's misgivings about an independent state under Fretilin control.

On August 11 of that year, After a majority in favour of Fretilin threatened to emerge, the UDT staged a coup against the Portuguese administration, and a three-month civil war erupted. This coup was partly done in order to deprive Indonesia of a pretext for intervention. The neighbouring country threatened to invade in order to prevent Fretilin from coming to power. UDT President Lopes da Cruz was arrested by UDT leaders João Viegas Carrascalão and Domingos de Oliveira, as he was suspected of collaborating with Indonesia.<ref>((Cite journal |last=Nixon |first=Rodney Stafford |date=2008 |title=Integrating indigenous approaches into a 'new subsistence state' : the case of justice and conflict resolution in East Timor |url=https://ris.cdu.edu.au/ws/portalfiles/portal/22708360/Thesis_CDU_8974_Nixon_R.pdf |journal=University of Melbourne |pages=106))</ref> The suspicion was later confirmed.<ref name=":1">((Cite web |last=McDonald |first=Hamish |date=2012-03-08 |title=Instigator of civil war later reconciled with his foes |url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/instigator-of-civil-war-later-reconciled-with-his-foes-20120308-1un0x.html |access-date=2024-01-09 |website=The Sydney Morning Herald |language=en))</ref> However, the UDT was defeated by Fretilin in the ensuing civil war. Around 2,000 people died, including UDT supporters who had already been captured by Fretilin. As many as 3.000 UDT politicians and supporters fled across the border to [[West Timor]], where they were required and pressured to sign a petition calling for [[Indonesian occupation of East Timor|East Timor's incorporation into Indonesia]],<ref name=":1" /> with most of the UDT loyalists declining the offer, as it would be considered a betrayal to its own ideology and trust for the country. After the signing, the UDT split into two factions, with only a small percentage of UDT giving up on hope and decided to side with [[Timorese Popular Democratic Association]] (APODETI) to call for Indonesian annexation, while the rest of the UDT decided to take a fight with the Indonesian invading forces or decided to leave Timor to seek help and make a congress with Fretilin in Australia and Portugal to work towards independence.

=== During Indonesian occupation (1975–1999) ===
One of the UDT's most senior leaders, [[Mário Viegas Carrascalão]], sided with the Indonesian regime and served as the governor of Indonesia's '[[Timor Timur]] [[Provinces of Indonesia|province]]' between 1987 and 1992. His brother, [[João Carrascalão|João]], however, led the UDT in exile in Portugal and Australia, later joining with Fretilin in a national unity movement called the [[National Council of Maubere Resistance]] (((Lang-pt|Conselho Nacional da Resistência Maubere)), ''CNRM''), later called the National Council of Timorese Resistance (((Lang-pt|Conselho Nacional de Resistência Timorense)), ''CNRT''), due to the disagreement between UDT and Fretilin for using the word "Maubere", as this could possibly divide the Timorese people into two.

After the occupation by Indonesia, East Timorese from Fretilin and UDT living abroad founded a national resistance council in January 1988, headed by [[Xanana Gusmão]] (under the Nacional de Resistência Maubere or CNRM and under the [[National Council of Maubere Resistance]] or CNRT from 1998). The council served as an umbrella organisation to better coordinate the fight for freedom. Manuel Carrascalão later became spokesman for the CNRT. Mário Viegas Carrascalão was governor of East Timor during the Indonesian occupation from 1983 to 1992. He uncovered human rights violations by the Indonesians in East Timor. Mário later became chairman of the East Timor [[Social Democratic Party (East Timor)|Social Democratic Party]].

=== Since independence (2002–present) ===

[[File:2022-01-07 Francisco David Xavier Carlos, Francisco Guterres und Rodolfo Aparicio Guterres.jpg|thumb|Francisco David Xavier Carlos (left) and Rodolfo Aparicio Guterres (right) with President [[Francisco Guterres]] ]]
Following the [[Fall of Suharto|change of government in Indonesia in 1998]], and subsequently the change of policy, the UDT was able to organise in East Timor, where it supported the [[1999 East Timorese independence referendum|independence]] campaign. João Viegas Carrascalão led the party as chairman in independent East Timor. He died in February 2012 and [[Gilman Exposto dos Santos]] became president of the UDT in February 2010.<ref>((Cite web |last=Udt |date=28 February 2010 |title=União Democrática Timorense: Gilman Exposto dos Santos, o novo Presidente da UDT |url=https://udtimor.blogspot.com/2010/02/gilman-isla-exposto-dos-santos-o-novo.html |access-date=2024-01-09 |website=União Democrática Timorense))</ref> After Domingos de Oliveira, Cipriano J. da Costa Gonsalves,<ref>((Cite journal |date=21 June 2012 |title=Compendium of the 2012 Elections in Timor-Leste |url=https://unmit.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/old_dnn/Compendium%20of%20the%202012%20Elections%20-%2021%20June.pdf |journal=Unmit & Undp))</ref> and then [[Francisco David Xavier Carlos]] were Secretary General. After the end of the occupation, João Viegas Carrascalão was Minister for Infrastructure during the [[United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor|UN administration]] and coordinated the start of the reconstruction of East Timor. Manuel Carrascalão was Chairman of the National Council, a kind of transitional parliament, from April to September 2001.

In the [[2001 East Timorese parliamentary election|elections]] to the first parliament of free East Timor on 30 August 2001, the UDT received 2.36% of the vote (8,581) and two of the 88 seats.<ref>((Cite book |last=IFES |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1WAEAAAAMBAJ&dq=Socialist+Party+of+Timor+6483&pg=PT19 |title=Elections Today |date=2002 |publisher=IFES |pages=20 |language=en))</ref> One reason for this was persistent rumours that the UDT wanted to try to seize power again.<ref>((Cite web |last=Monika |first=Schlicher |date=2005 |title=East Timor faces up to its past : the work of the Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation |url=https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/catalog/5282894 |access-date=2024-01-09 |website=catalogue.nla.gov.au |language=en |via=National Library of Australia))</ref> UDT deputies were [[Alexandre Gentil Corte-Real de Araújo]] and [[Quitéria da Costa]].

In the [[2007 East Timorese presidential election|2007 presidential election]], João Carrascalão was the last of eight candidates to be eliminated after the first round with just 1.72% of the vote. Whist In the [[2007 East Timorese parliamentary election|parliamentary elections]] on 30 June 2007, the UDT received 0.90% (3,753) of the valid votes and thus failed to reach the three per cent threshold. It received the most support in the then district of [[Ermera Municipality|Ermera]], where it received 918 votes (2.2%).

In July 2007, the UDT merged with five other parties that had also failed to reach the three per cent threshold in the parliamentary elections to form the [[Liga Democrática Progressiva]] (LDP). The LDP is intended to serve as a political platform for the ideologically and programmatically very different parties outside of parliament.<ref>((Cite web |last=Udt |date=14 July 2007 |title=União Democrática Timorense: O anúncio da Liga Democrática Progressiva |url=https://udtimor.blogspot.com/2007/07/o-anncio-da-liga-democrtica-progressiva.html |access-date=2024-01-09 |website=União Democrática Timorense))</ref> To this end, the UDT became a member of the [[Frenti Dezenvolvimentu Demokratiku]] (FDD) on 11 December 2017.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/frenti.dezenvolvimentudemokratiku FDD Facebook page], Retrieved on 3 March 2018</ref>

Following the political unrest between Fretilin and AMP (Aliança Maioria Parlamentar), comprised by CNRT, PLP and KHUNTO, the President of Timor-Leste decided to make another parliamentary [[snap election]] to solve the problem. UDT, not giving up on hope, decided to join forces or alliance with three political parties: PUDD (Partido Unidade Desenvolvimento Democrático), [[Frenti-Mudança|Frente-Mudança]] (FRETILIN's separatist party) and PDN (Partido Desenvolvimento Nacional), forming a coalition called FDD (Frente Desenvolvimento Democrático) and won 34,531 votes and won 3 seats.<ref>[http://www.cne.tl/Eleisaun_Parlamentar/ACTA%20FINAL/aviso_publico_final%2009-07-07-ENGLISH.pdf "National Provisional Results from the 30 June 2007 Parliamentary Elections"] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070810223956/http://www.cne.tl/Eleisaun_Parlamentar/ACTA%20FINAL/aviso_publico_final%2009-07-07-ENGLISH.pdf |date=10 August 2007 )), Comissão Nacional de Eleições Timor-Leste, 9 July 2007.</ref> With the FDD, the UDT managed to enter the national parliament in the [[2018 East Timorese parliamentary election|early elections]] in 2018 with a 5.5% share of the vote (34,301 votes).
