The Pact of Democrats for Reforms (Italian: Patto dei Democratici per le Riforme, PDR) is a regional centrist political party active in Sicily, Italy, led by former minister Salvatore Cardinale, whose daughter is a deputy of the Democratic Party (PD).
The party emerged in July 2014 from the merger of the Reformist Democrats for Sicily, a regional autonomist party, with other minor groups (notably including splinters from Article Four), who supported Rosario Crocetta, a Democrat, as President of Sicily. The PDR was endorsed by the PD's national leadership. In October 2015 the party was enlarged to some members of Democratic Sicily (SD) and rebranded Pact of Democrats for Reforms – Future Sicily.
In the 2016 local elections the party obtained substantial results in some medium-sized Sicilian cities: 15.8% in Favara, 14.5% in Canicattì, 14.1% in Barrafranca (where SD took 10.0%), and 9.3% in Alcamo.
