Centrist Union of Progressive Democrats

Centrist Union of Progressive Democrats

The Centrist Union of Progressive Democrats (French: Union centriste des démocrates de progrès, UCDP) was a parliamentary group in the French Senate.

Formed after the 1968 Senate elections, the UCDP succeeded the Popular Republicans and Democratic Centre (RPCD) group. It was composed quasi-exclusively of members of the Democratic and Social Centre (CDS), the Christian democratic component of the Union for French Democracy.[1]

Alain Poher, who served twice as interim President of the Republic and long-time President of the Senate, was a member of the UCDP.
