Christian Democracy (Italy, 2002)

Christian Democracy (Italian: Democrazia Cristiana, DC) is a minor Christian democratic and strongly social-conservative political party in Italy. The current leader of the party is Denis Martucci.

The party proposed itself as the core of a refoundation of the original Christian Democracy and to effect the reunification of all the various Christian-democratic parties in Italy. It was once part of the Union centre-left coalition, but then distanced itself from it, promoting an autonomous path and becoming a minor ally of The People of Freedom, later Forza Italia.
