Christian Democrat International
The Centrist Democrat International was until 2001 the Christian Democrat International (CDI) and before that the Christian Democrat and People's Parties International . The name officially changed due to the participation of groups of various faiths [1] Christian Democracy . There are slightly more than 100 member parties, drawn principally from Europe and Latin America. Some of the CDI member national parties are also members of the International Democrat Union , although the CDI is closer to the political centre and more communitarian than the IDU.
The CDI's European wing, the European People's Party , is the largest political party at the European level . Its Latin American regional is the Christian Democrat Organization of America . The Democratic Party of the United States of America maintains link with CDI through the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs .
The current Co-Presidents of the CDI are Pier Ferdinando Casini of Italy and Vicente Fox of Mexico . [2]
The youth organisation of the CDI is currently being organised under the name of Youth of the Centrist Democrat International (YCDI).
