Christian Democratic and Flemish[12][13] (Dutch:Christen-Democratisch en Vlaams,pronounced[ˌkrɪstə(n)deːmoːˈkraːtisɛɱˈvlaːms]ⓘ;CD&V) is a FlemishChristian-democraticpolitical party in Belgium.[2][3] The party has historical ties to both trade unionism (ACV) and trade associations (UNIZO) and the Farmer's League. Until 2001, the party was named theChristian People's Party (Christelijke Volkspartij[ˈkrɪstələkəˈvɔlkspɑrˌtɛi],CVP).

It was traditionally the largest political party of Flanders, until it was overtaken by theNew Flemish Alliance (N-VA) in the 2010s. CD&V participated in most governments and has generally the largest number of mayors. Mostprime ministers of Belgium andminister-presidents of Flanders have been CD&V politicians.Herman Van Rompuy, thepresident of the European Council from 2009 to 2014, is one of the leading politicians of CD&V.

CD&V is a member of theEuropean People's Party (EPP) andCentrist Democrat International.

History

[edit]

The history of the CD&V dates back to the 19th century. It originated in the 19th centuryCatholic Party. At the end of the century, the new fraction of Christian democrats shifted the focus of the party slightly to the left. In the interwar years the party was renamedCatholic Bloc. Then, theChristian Social Party (PSC-CVP) existed from 1945 until 1968. In 1968, the PSC-CVP was split into the French-speaking Christian Social Party (PSC, nowLes Engagés) and Flemish Christian People's Party (Christelijke Volkspartij CVP).[14][15] In 2001 the CVP changed its name to the CD&V.

The party was almost continually in power from its establishment until 1999, with the exception of 1954–1958. In 1999, theFlemish Liberals and Democrats (VLD) became the largest party in Belgium, and formed a majoritypurple government of liberals, social democrats and greens. The same happened in the Flemish Government, but with the addition of Flemish nationalists. In 2003 CD&V again lost the federal elections which continued the federal centre-left coalition, but this time without the Greens.

In 2004, Flemish elections were held and the CD&V once more became the largest political party by representation in the Flemish Parliament.Yves Leterme became Flemish minister-president. After successful local elections in 2006, the party became the largest party in the Belgian Chamber of Representatives after thefederal elections of 2007. The CD&V led the subsequent coalition talks, which repeatedly stalled (see2007–2008 Belgian government formation). On the 20 March 2008, a newfederal government was finally assembled, led by Yves Leterme.Kris Peeters subsequently became the next minister-president of Flanders. From 30 December 2008 till 25 November 2009,Herman Van Rompuy led his firstcabinet before becoming the first permanentpresident of the European Council. Afterwards, Yves Leterme led hissecond government.

In June 2009,Flemish elections were held and the CD&V remained the largest party of Flanders.Kris Peeters stayed asFlemish minister-president. The party also remained the largest Flemish party in the European Parliament after the2009 European elections.

In 2010, theOpen Flemish Liberals and Democrats (Open VLD) decided to step out of the federal coalition, consequently ending the government. Thefederal elections of 2010 resulted in a major loss of historic proportions for CD&V, largely due to votes lost to the Flemish-nationalistNew Flemish Alliance. In the campaign, former prime ministerYves Leterme took a subtle step aside as frontrunner of the party. The president of the party,Marianne Thyssen, had pre-electorally stated that she was a candidate to become prime minister.

On 6 December 2011, theDi Rupo Government was formed, with the CD&V as the largest Flemish party.

During thelocal elections in 2012, CD&V managed to remain the largest Flemish party on the local level. It remained in the coalition of all five Flemish provinces and in three quarters of the municipalities. Almost half of these municipalities were subsequently led by CD&V mayors.

Ideology

[edit]

CD&V is a Flemish party that follows the principle ofChristian democracy. Its core values include the importance of thefamily, promoting a respectful and warm society, and recognizing the intrinsic value of each individual. The party places a strong emphasis onwell-being andhealth care, as well as the pursuit of an equitable income for all citizens. However, on the ethical front, CD&V holds conservative positions, particularly on issues such asabortion andeuthanasia, where the party is reluctant to fast-track relaxations. Combining these conservative ethics with progressive socioeconomic policies, CD&V is often considered a "centre party". In its administrative activities, CD&V nurtures close ties with civil society, includingtrade unions, professional federations and various associations. In doing so, the party strives to represent the voice ofrural areas and theagricultural sector.[16]
