The Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA)

The Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) is a political party in the Netherlands that combines Christian values with pragmatic policymaking. It emphasizes social cohesion, family support, and community-based solutions while promoting economic stability and environmental sustainability. The CDA seeks a balanced approach to governance, emphasizing moral responsibility, social justice, and respect for traditions, but also adapting to current societal needs. Founded in 1980 through a merger of Christian-based parties, it often advocates for policies that support moderate social progress within a framework of Christian ethical principles.
