History

MEPs from the heterogeneous centre-right party Forza Italia, along with MEPs of the Christian Democratic Centre and the former Liberals of the Union of the Centre, were elected in the 1994 elections and formed their own Group, self-referentially called "Forza Europa", on 19 July 1994.^[4]

The group was joined on 15 December 1992 by one MEP of the Italian Democratic Socialist Party^[6] and one MEP of the Federalists and Liberal Democrats.^[7]

The Group lasted until dissolved and merged with the European Democratic Alliance to form the "Group Union for Europe"^[8]^[9] on July 6, 1995,^[4]
