Christian Social Party (Belgium, defunct)


The Christian Social Party was an Christian-democratic political party in Belgium that existed from 1945 until 1968, when it split along linguistic lines.
The Christian Social Party was Belgium's largest party in most elections. The other two main parties were the Belgian Socialist Party and the Liberal Party.

History

At the end of World War II, on 18-19 August 1945 the Parti Social Chrétien-Christelijke Volkspartij was founded under the presidency of August de Schryver as the successor to the Catholic Party.
In 1968, the party divided along linguistic lines, forming the Francophone Christian Social Party in Wallonia and the Flemish Christian People's Party in Flanders.
