Union of the Centre (current)

Union of the Centre (current)


2008 general election

The Union of the Centre ("Unione di Centro", UdC) is a Italian political coalition.

It was formed for the 2008 general election by the Union of Christian and Centre Democrats (UDC), the White Rose (RB), the Party of Christian Democracy (PdDC) and the Christian Democratic Party (PDC). The coalition is also externally supported by some regional groups, such as the Veneto for the European People's Party (VPPE).

In the 2008 general election the list won 5.6% and got 36 deputies and three senators elected. Soon after the election Mario Baccini, one of the leaders of the White Rose, surprisingly refused to join the group of the Union of Centre in the Chamber of Deputies and he is said to be leaving the party to re-join the centre-right. [ [http://www.lastampa.it/redazione/cmsSezioni/politica/200805articoli/32441girata.asp L'Udc scappa di mano a Pierferdy - LASTAMPA.it ] ] After the exit of Baccini, the future of the alliance is thus unclear and it could be simply the continuation of UDC, as the White Rose is composed basically of two deputies.
