[edit] History

The Technical Group of Independents was formed in 1979. It was officially called "Group for the Technical Coordination and the Defence of Independent Groups and Members"^[1] and it used the abbreviation "CDI"^[1]. It was a coalition of parties ranging from centre-right to far left, which were not aligned with any of the major international party federations. In 1984^[3] most of the CDI members joined the "Rainbow Group".^[7]
