Belgian Democratic Union The Belgian Democratic Union ( " Union Démocratique Belge " , " Belgische Democratische Unie " or " UDB " ) was a short - lived political party in Belgium after the Second World War . History . Formation . The UDB was one of two post - war parties founded in Belgium appealing to Christian thought , the other being the Christelijke Volkspartij ( CVP ) , heir to the prewar Catholic Party . The UDB ' s main founders were Pierre Clerdent and Antoine Delfosse and the party essentially originated in the French - speaking Christian workers ' movement , being unable to gain major supporters from among the Flemish Christian workers ' movement . The UDB was essentially a ' travaillistische ' party ( which would now be placed on the centre - left ) and was much keener on secularisation ( ' deconfessionalisering ' ) and progress ( ' progressisme ' ) than the CVP , wishing to bring those of all philosophical and religious persuasions under one flag . It had ambitions to be a nationwide party , but was mainly restricted to Wallonia and the French - speakers in Brussels , making it short on influence in the capital ' s political circles . Its leaders came from the Belgian Resistance and the other parties hoped that the UDB and CVP would compete against and weaken each other by splitting the Christian vote . When the CVP refused to participate in the second government of Achiel Van Acker ( 2 August 1945 - 9 January 1946 ) , two UDB members of parliament joined it - Marcel Gregoire for Justice and Jacques Basyn for Defence . Franz De Voghel ( with UDB sympathies ) was minister of finance . Fall . UDB hopes were high at the general elections on 17 February 1946 , but these were disappointed , with the party only gaining 51 , 095 votes ( mainly in Brussels ) and only managed to elect one person to the Chamber of Representatives ( Paul M . G . Lévy for the arrondissement of Nijvel , though he resigned after only a few weeks and replaced by Werner Marchand ) . It was clear that the party had several leaders but no members . In 1946 it had 2 , 637 members - 380 in Flanders , 904 in Brabant ( Brussels ) and 1353 in Wallonia . This marked its end . Some of its leaders went over to the CVP , including Pierre Clerdent ( governor of Luxemburg and Luik and later a liberal senator ) , Alfred Califice ( frequently a minister for the CVP ) and Antoine Delfosse ( for whom this meant a switch back to the CVP ) . Lévy , Max Bastin and Jacques Basyn became independents .
