Committee for Another Policy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Committee for Another Policy (Comité voor een Andere Politiek - Comité pour une Autre Politique, CAP) is a Belgian left-wing political movement, established in 2005, and party since 2007.
[edit] Formation
Initiators are the Belgian politicians Jef Sleeckx (former SP.A-MP), Lode Van Outrive (former MEP for the SP.A) and former ABVV- and ETUC-chairman Georges Debunne. All three have been active in the Belgian socialist movement for several decades.
On October 28, 2006 a foundation congress took place at the ULB in Brussels. Various existing left-wing groups, like the LSP, the KP and the SAP, committed their support to the idea of a new broad left-wing political formation.
[edit] Elections in 2007
At a second congress, held on February 3, 2007, it was decided, by a great majority of the participants, to take part in the Belgian federal elections of June 10, 2007. The CAP participated with 239 candidates in these elections and got 0,3 % of the vote for both the Chamber of People's Representatives and the Senate.
