The Alliance of Independent Democrats in Europe (most commonly represented in French, as Alliance des Démocrates Indépendants en Europe) is an European political party, operating largely as a faction of the Independence and Democracy group of the European Parliament, whose existence is claimed by both itself and by the EUDemocrats [1]. At this time the composition of the ADIE or the extent to which it operates as an EU-funded pan-European organization is unclear. Nevertheless, as of January 2007, the group appears to operate a limited French-language website.
ADIE describes itself as a centre-right faction of the eurosceptic IND/DEM group, with the EUDemocrats, the United Kingdom Independence Party and the European Christian Political Movement appearing to comprise the other factions of that group.
The group's website implies the existence of British, Czech, French, Greek, Irish, Italian and Polish delegations and identifies Movement for France (MpF) MEP Patrick Louis as its president.
In light of the recent defection of Lega Nord (Italy) to UEN, it is believed that the members of the AIDE faction, as of January 2007, as follows:
Czech Republic
France
Greece
Poland
United Kingdom
