Ideology
The ideology of the UDC is based on Christian humanism and the social doctrine of the Catholic Church. The majority of the 1,500 members at times are Catholics. As a political system, they aimed for a multi-party system with a semi-presidential form of government based on the French model in the elections to the Constituent Assembly for independent East Timor, albeit with a strong limitation of the president's powers. She also advocated the market economy. The UDC had observer status with the International Christian Democratic Union.[1][2]
