Centrist Union of Democrats for Progress

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Centrist Union of Democrats for Progress (French: Union centriste des démocrates de progrès, UCDP) was a parliamentary group in the French Senate.

Formed after the 1968 Senate elections, the UCDP succeeded the Popular Republicans and Democratic Centre (RPCD) group. It was composed quasi-exclusively of members of the Centre des démocrates sociaux (CDS), the Christian democratic component of the Union for French Democracy.[1]

Alain Poher, who served twice as interim president of the Republic and long-time president of the Senate, was a member of the UCDP.
