The Centrist Democrat International was until 2001 the Christian Democrat International (CDI) and before that the ''Christian Democrat and People's Parties International'' (until 1999) (this earlier name is, since October 2000,〔(Towards an era of development, Peter Van Kemseke, page 172 )〕 still sometimes used colloquially). This political international was created in 1961 in Santiago, Chile〔(EPP-ED Chronology - 1961-1970 )〕〔But the creation of the org was only formalized in 1964. See (Towards an era of development, Peter Van Kemseke, page 172 )〕 as the ''Christian Democrat World Union'', building on the legacy of other Christian Democrat internationals〔(EPP-ED Chronology - 1925-1950 )〕 who tried to create a Christian-inspired third way〔(The Christian Democrat International, Roberto Papini, page 32 )〕 alternative to the socialist internationals; in 1982 it was renamed for the first time Christian Democrat International.〔(Dialogue on Globalization, Occasional Papers, New York ), page 23〕 The name officially changed due to the participation of groups of various faiths.〔(PGMA calls on Christian Democrats, religious leaders to lead crusade for peace, prosperity : Philippines : Gov.Ph : News )〕 It is the global international political group dedicated to the promotion of Christian democracy. Although it gathers parties from around the globe, its members are drawn principally from Europe and Latin America. Some of them are also members of the International Democrat Union, although the CDI is closer to the political centre and more communitarian than the IDU. The CDI's European wing, the European People's Party, is the largest political party at the European level. Its Latin American equivalent is the Christian Democrat Organization of America. The Democratic Party of the United States of America maintains links with CDI through the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs. A youth organisation of the CDI is currently being established under the name of Youth of the Centrist Democrat International (YCDI). ==Executive Committee== The CDI Executive Committee is the highest body of the organisation, formed by the president, the executive secretary and the vice-presidents. The current president of the CDI is Andrés Pastrana Arango of Colombia, while its Executive Secretary is Spanish MEP Antonio López-Istúriz, who is also Secretary-General of the EPP〔(Organization page on the official CDI website )〕 The members of the Executive Committee are: * Andrés Pastrana Arango (Colombia) – President * Antonio López-Istúriz (Spain) – Executive Secretary * Mário David (Portugal) – Deputy Executive Secretary * César Maia (Brazil) – Vice-President * Lourdes Flores (Peru) – Vice-President * Michael Eman (Aruba) – Vice-President * Mariano Rajoy (Spain) – Vice-President * Juan Luis Seliman (Dominican Republic) – Vice-President * Gonzalo Arenas (Chile) – Vice-President * Naha Mouknas (Mauritania) – Vice-President * Abbas El Fassi (Morocco) – Vice-President * Edcel Lagman (Philippines) – Vice-President * Mikulas Dzurinda (Slovakia) – Vice-President * Viktor Orbán (Hungary) – Vice-President * Peter Hintze (Germany) – Vice-President * Jadranka Kosor (Croatia) – Vice-President * Andrés Pastrana (Colombia) – Vice-President * Luís Marques Mendes (Portugal) – Vice-President * Wilfried Martens (Belgium) – ''Ex officio'' Vice-President (as President of the EPP) * Jorge Ocejo Moreno (Mexico) – ''Ex officio'' Vice-President (as President of the ODCA) * Carlos Veiga (Cape Verde) – ''Ex officio'' Vice-President 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Centrist Democrat International」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
