Christene Volkspartij

The Christene Volkspartij (English: Christian People's Party) was the first Belgian Christian Democratic political party. The party was founded in 1893 by the Belgian priest Adolf Daens, who was inspired by the papal encyclical Rerum novarum of Pope Leo XIII, issued in 1891.

For the post-war political party, the Christelijke Volkspartij, see Christian Social Party (Belgium, defunct).
