Union Of The Centre (2008)
The Union of the Centre (Unione di Centro, UdC) is a mainly Christian democratic coalition of parties in Italy. Its leaders are Pier Ferdinando Casini, Lorenzo Cesa and Savino Pezzotta.
Its main component is the Union of Christian and Centre Democrats (UDC), but several minor and regional parties are affiliated too: the Populars – Daisy, the White Rose, the Liberal Clubs, the Party of Christian Democracy (PdDC), Christian Democratic Party (PDC), Veneto for the European People's Party (VPPE), the Democratic Populars (PD) and the Autonomist Democrats (AD). However, as most of the members of these parties have joined UDC too, UdC and UDC overlap almost completely and, in fact, the two structures share the organization and the website.
