[edit] History
The French Gaullists split from the Liberal Group on 21 January 1965[4] and created a new Group called the "European Democratic Union".[1][2] The Group was renamed on 16 January 1973[4] to the "Group of European Progressive Democrats"[5] when the Gaullists were joined by the Irish Fianna Fáil, and renamed itself again on July 24, 1984[4] to the "Group of the European Democratic Alliance".[2][5]
