From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

European Democracy (Democrazia Europea, DE) was a minor christian-democratic Italian political party.

It was founded in 2000 by Sergio D'Antoni (former leader of the Italian Confederation of Workers' Trade Unions), Giulio Andreotti and Ortensio Zecchino, all three spliters from the Italian People's Party. Many ex-members of Lega Nord, including Vito Gnutti (former Minister of Industry) and Domenico Comino (and floor leader in the Chamber of Deputies).

In the 2001 general election the party scored 2.3%, winning only two seats in the Senate. In December 2002 it was merged with the Christian Democratic Centre and the United Christian Democrats into the Union of Christian and Centre Democrats. Sergio D'Antoni became vice-secretary of the new party.
