The Centrist Democratic International ("International Demócrata de Centro - Centrist Democrat International" (IDC-CDI), informally often called "Christian Democratic International") is a world association of Christian-democratic , centrist and Christian-social parties.
history
Founded in 1961 in Santiago de Chile as the "Christian Democratic World Union", the organization published its political and ideological manifesto on June 11, 1976 . The name was changed to Christian Democratic International in 1982. The current name, since 1999, is also intended to enable the integration of parties that do not profess Christianity but position themselves in the political center or slightly to the right of it, for example bourgeois people 's parties . The organization is based in Brussels . The predecessor organizations to which the CDI refers include the Secrétariat International des Partis Démocratiques d'Inspiration Chrétienne (SIPDIC), founded in 1925 , the Organización Demócrata Cristiana de América (ODCA, 1945), the Nouvelles Équipes Internationales (NEI, 1948) and the Christian Democratic Union of Central Europe (CDUCE, 1950). These three founded the Christian Democratic International Information and Documentation Center (CDI-IDC) in 1960 .
President of the Christian Democratic International is Andrés Pastrana from the Colombian Partido Conservador Colombiano . He has 15 deputies at his side, including Elmar Brok ( CDU ). General Secretary is the Spanish MEP Antonio López-Istúriz White ( PP ).
Members
Important members are the German CDU , the Christian Democratic parties in Scandinavia ( e.g. Kristdemokraterna in Sweden ), the Les Républicains France , the Christen Democratisch Appèl in the Netherlands , the Partido Popular Spain and the numerous Christian Democratic and Christian social parties in Latin America , some of which are also are located to the left of the center (for example Partido Demócrata Cristiano de Chile ).

Relationship with the IDU
In addition to the CDI, there is also the International Democratic Union (IDU), founded in 1983 , which is generally viewed as being further to the right and more market-liberal than the CDI, which is more centered and more communitarian . However, there is a lot of overlap here, as well as common members. The CDU, for example, belongs to both organizations. In Latin America in particular, there was a real competition between the CDI and IDU for member parties , the local CDI ( Organización Demócrata Cristiana de América , ODCA) refused double membership in the IDU.
