Committee for Another Policy

The Committee for Another Policy (Dutch: Comité voor een Andere Politiek, French: Comité pour une Autre Politique), abbreviated to CAP, was a Belgian left-wing political movement that was established in 2005, and became a political party in 2006.

[1] The initiators of the committee are the Belgian politicians Jef Sleeckx [nl] (former SP.A-MP), Lode Van Outrive [nl] (former MEP for the SP.A, and former ABVV) and ETUC chairman Georges Debunne.

On 28 October 2006, a foundation congress took place at the ULB in Brussels.

At a second congress, held on 3 February 2007, it was decided by a great majority of the participants to take part in the Belgian federal elections of 10 June 2007.

The CAP participated with 239 candidates in these elections and got 0.4% of the vote for both the Chamber of People's Representatives and the Senate.
