The Front for the Defence of Constitutional Institutions (
Arabic: جبهة الدفاع عن المؤسسات الدستورية, French: Front pour la défense des institutions constitutionnelles, or simply FDIC) was a Moroccan political party founded in 1963 by Ahmed Reda Guedira, friend and advisor of King Hassan II

History
The FDIC was created some months after the declaration of the
socialist National Union of Popular Forces
.
The FDIC won the
1963 elections, and his candidate Ahmed Bahnini became Prime Minister in a FDIC-Istiqlal alliance, that ruled the Morocco for two years, and was succeeded, ironically for a royalist party, by the King Hassan II
's govern.
Only in 1967, the party established another government under Mohamed Benhima, that collapsed in 1969.
However, as a
centrist party with a weak structuration, the FDIC was dissolved around 1970, merged in the Popular Movement
.
