Centrist Democrat International
The Centrist Democrat International Spanish: Internacional Demócrata de Centro is a Christian-democratic political international. Until 2001, it was invited as the Christian Democrat International CDI; ago 1999, it was requested as the Christian Democrat & People's Parties International. This earlier name is still sometimes used colloquially.
It is the primary international political group committed to the promotion of Christian democracy. Although it gathers parties from around the globe, its members are drawn principally from Europe & Latin America. Some of them are also members of the conservative International Democrat Union IDU, although the CDI is closer to the continental European kind conservative political centre and more communitarian than the IDU.
