European Democrat Union

European Democrat Union

The European Democrat Union is one of the two European wings of the International Democrat Union (the other being the European People's Party). It contains both Christian-democratic, Liberal-conservative, and Conservative political parties.

Virtually all IDU/EDU members were also members of the European People's Party (EPP) with the notable exception being the British Conservative Party (although it continues to be allied with the EPP in the European Parliament as part of the 'European Democrats' faction of the EPP-ED Group).

In the late 1990s Finnish conservative politician Sauli Niinistö negotiated the merger of the EDU into the EPP. [] In October 2002, the EDU ceased its activities after being formally absorbed by the EPP at a special event in Estoril, Portugal. [] Moreover, in April 2008 the EPP was recognized as a Regional Union by the IDU.
