[edit] History

MEPs from the highly heterogeneous liberal-conservative Forza Italia party, along with MEPs of the Christian Democratic Centre e the former Liberals of the Union of the Centre, were elected in the 1994 elections and formed their own Group, self-referentially called "Forza Europa", on 19 July 1994.[4]

The group was joined on 15 December 1992 by one MEP of the Italian Democratic Socialist Party[6] and one MEP of the Federalists and Liberal Democrats.[7]

The Group lasted until they dissolved the Group and merged with the Group of the European Democratic Alliance to form the "Group Union for Europe"[8][9] on July 6, 1995,[4]
