European Democratic Party
The European Democratic Party gathers parties and representatives who "wish for a more democratic, integrated European Union, closer to its citizens. Europe is facing an addition of crisis: economic, social, political… The peoples, racked with doubt and distrust, are turning away from the very idea of Europe. For those who share the European ideal, this is a tremendous challenge that needs a decisive strategy. This is why the European Democratic Party intends to rebuild the European project and to offer to the peoples new, audacious but credible solutions, with new perspective. This is the challenge we chose to overcome together."
This small centrist group is one of the most pro-European political parties with many of its member parties pursuing an avowedly federalist agenda. It is based around two of France and Italy's main center parties, but also attracts a number of independent MEPs, such as Ireland's Marian Harkin.
