[edit] History

The French Gaullists split from the Liberal Group on 21 January 1965^[4] and created a new Group called the "European Democratic Union".^[1]^[2] The Group was renamed on 16 January 1973^[4] to the "Group of European Progressive Democrats"^[5] when the Gaullists were joined by the Irish Fianna Fáil, and renamed itself again on 24 July 1984^[4] to the "Group of the European Democratic Alliance".^[2]^[5]
