Christen-Democratisch Appel

Placement: Center-right

The Christian Democratic Appeal, the centrist party led by Henri Bontenbal: having climbed from 5 to 18 seats in 2025, it is part of the Jetten minority government. A social market economy, family and local communities, a tax contribution to fund defense, support for Ukraine, a stricter but humane asylum policy, and opposition to the 'completed life' law.

In short

On the traditional scale, Christen-Democratisch Appel sits in the center-right camp. The clearest positions are on foreign policy: strongly towards “interventionism”; method: strongly towards “reform”; religion: fairly towards “religion”; democracy: fairly towards “technocracy”. On economy, state, environment and devolution it stays balanced. Among ideologies, the closest is ordoliberalism (91%).
