27 MEPs from the Italian centre-right party
Forza Italia, along with MEPs of the
Christian Democratic Centre and the
Union of the Centre, were elected in the
1994 European election and formed their own Group, self-referentially called "Forza Europa", on 19 July 1994.[11] The group was unique at the time for being dominated one national-level political party, and being composed of MEPs from a single EU member nation.[13] The group was generally sceptical of
European integration.[8]
