Alliance for Direct Democracy in Europe

The Alliance for Direct Democracy in Europe, abbreviated to ADDE, was a European political party founded in 2014.

It was composed of parties belonging to the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) group in the European Parliament (EP).

A further three UKIP MEPs chose not to participate in the ADDE.

[4][5] In 2015, the ADDE was recognised by the European Parliament and its grant maximum from the EP was set at €1,241,725,[6] with an additional €730,053 for its affiliated political foundation, the Initiative for Direct Democracy.
