History
Federal and regional elections
Collectif Citoyen was founded in 2019 following the gathering of a multitude of local Walloon parties with the aim of participating in the legislative elections in May.The main aims of the programme are to introduce participatory democracy and improve the transparency of elected representatives, parties, civil servants and the functioning of the justice system.
The movement also advocates a protectionist economic vision centred on the middle class, and the refinancing of social security and education.
The party obtained an honourable score of 0.31, placing it 16th out of 32 in the federal parliamentary elections. In Wallonia, the party scored 1.31%, finishing 9th out of 18. In Brussels, it presented only one list in the French-speaking college, winning 0.52% of the vote.
In 2024, the party will deepen its programme by adding a geopolitical axis in which it opposes the European Union, NATO and the WHO.
CC will improve its score everywhere by obtaining 0.51% of the votes in the federal legislative elections. The same trend can be observed in Wallonia, where it won 1.60% of the vote, and in Brussels with 1.45%.
