Democratic Centre (Italian: Centro Democratico, CD) is a centrist,[1] Christian leftist[2][3][4] and social-liberal political party in Italy.

[6][7] Regarding ApI, most leading members and incumbent MPs of the party joined the CD,[8][9] with Tabacci as their leader, while Rutelli chose not to be a candidate[10] and retired from active politics.

[37][38][39] In the 2017 local elections the party fielded lists in a few places, obtaining distinctive results in Torre Annunziata, Campania (12.7%)[40] and Paola, Calabria (4.6%).

[41] In January 2018, the CD joined More Europe (+E), a liberal electoral list previously formed by the Italian Radicals and Forza Europa, seeking to be part of the centre-left coalition in the upcoming 2018 general election.

The list won 2.6% of the vote in the election, falling short of the 3% threshold, but Tabacci was re-elected to the Chamber in a single-seat constituency in Milan.

[46] In September 2019, +E decided not to support the newly formed Conte II Cabinet, despite opposition by Tabacci and the party's two other deputies.

In November 2021, Tabacci formed a joint sub-group in the Mixed Group of the Chamber along with other three deputies, two of whom elected by Italians abroad.
