The Centrist Democrat International (CDI; Spanish: Internacional Demócrata de Centro, IDC) is a centrist political international inspired by the values of Christian democracy.[2] Until 2001, it was known as the Christian Democrat International (CDI); before 1999, it was known as the Christian Democrat and People's Parties International.[2] This earlier name is still sometimes used colloquially.
It is the primary international political group dedicated to promoting Christian democracy. Although it attracts parties from around the globe, its members are drawn principally from Europe and Latin America.[3] Although in recent years, the Centrist Democrat International has expanded its presence in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. This has led to the development of the IDC.Africa, the Centrist Democrat International's regional organization in Africa.
