Humanist Democratic Centre (French:Centre Démocrate Humaniste,CDH) was aChristian democratic[13] and centristFrench-speakingpolitical party in Belgium.[14][15] The party originated in the split in 1972 of the unitaryChristian Social Party (PSC-CVP) which had been the country's governing party for much of the post-war period. It continued to be called theChristian Social Party (French:Parti Social Chrétien,PSC) until 2002 when it was renamed the Humanist Democratic Centre. It was refounded asLes Engagés in 2022.

History

[edit]

The PSC was officially founded in 1972. The foundation was the result of the split of the unitaryChristian Social Party (PSC-CVP) into the Dutch-speakingChristian People's Party (CVP) and the French-speaking Christian Social Party (PSC), following the increased linguistic tensions after the crisis at theCatholic University of Leuven in 1968. A similar split already happened in 1936 when theCatholic Bloc split into the dutchophoneCatholic Flemish People's Party and francophoneCatholic Social Party. The PSC performed particularly badly in the1999 general election. This was linked to several scandals, such as the escape ofMarc Dutroux and the discovery ofdioxins in chickens (the PSC was a coalition partner in theDehaene government). The decline in votes was also explained by declining adherence toCatholicism. The party was confined toopposition on all levels of government.

The party started a process of internal reform. In 2001 a new charter of principles, the "Charter of Democratic Humanism," was adopted and in 2002 the party adopted a new constitution and a new name, Humanist Democratic Centre.

In the2003 general election the party did not perform much better and was still confined to opposition. After the2004 regional elections the party returned to power in Brussels, in Walloon Region and the French Community together with theSocialist Party andEcolo in Brussels, and with the Socialist Party in Walloon Region and the French Community.

In the2007 general elections, the party won 10 out of 150 seats in theChamber of Representatives and two out of 40 seats in theSenate.

In the2010 general elections, the party lost one seat in the Chamber and kept its two seats in the Senate, a result which was repeated in the2014 general elections. In the2019 general elections the party registered its worst ever performance, winning only 5 seats and 3.7% of the vote, as well as its worst performance in the Walloon and Brussels parliaments as part of the general trend of Belgians turning away from the traditional political parties.

Ideology

[edit]

Its ideology was "democratic humanism, inspired bypersonalism inherited notably from Christian humanism" which includes a centre-left policy towards the economy, supporting state interventionism and calling for the unity of Belgium, while also containing a centre-right faction on social issues and supporting tougher measures on crime.[16][17] Presently, the party considers itself to be a movement rather than a party, and calls for citizen-led initiatives and more engagement between the public and politicians.[18]
