The Committee for Another Policy (Dutch; Flemish: 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 (former SP.A-MP), (former MEP for the SP.A, and former ABVV) and ETUC chairman Georges Debunne.[2] All three have been active in the Belgian socialist movement for several decades.
On 28 October 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.
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.
