The Convention for a Progressive Alternative (French: Convention pour une alternative progressiste, CAP) was a French left-wing political party founded in 1994.
[1] It was founded by reformist Communists (Charles Fiterman, Jean-Pierre Brard), Socialists, Trotskyists and others.
The party supported Green candidate Dominique Voynet in the 1995 presidential election.
Fiterman associated CAP to the discussions regarding the Plural Left coalition with the PS, PCF and the Greens.
As a result, numerous members left CAP to join larger left-wing parties such as the PS or Greens.
