Christian Social Party (Belgium, 1945)

The Christian Social Party (French: Parti Social Chrétien, pronounced [paʁti sɔsjal kʁetjɛ̃], PSC; Dutch: Christelijke Volkspartij, pronounced [ˈkrɪstələkə ˈvɔlkspɑrˌtɛi], lit.

Established as the successor to the pre-war Catholic Block, the PSC-CVP was established after the Liberation of Belgium with an explicitly "deconfessionalised" orientation in the Christian Democratic tradition.

[3] It remained the largest party in Belgian politics throughout much of its existence and was the last party in Belgian history to gain an outright majority in the 1950 elections.

At the end of World War II, on 18–19 August 1945 the Parti Social Chrétien-Christelijke Volkspartij (CVP-PSC) was founded under the presidency of August de Schryver as the successor to the Catholic Party.
