Les Engagés[2][3] (French pronunciation: [lez‿ɑ̃ɡaʒe]; lit. 'The Committed Ones', LE) is a centrist[4] French-speaking political party in Belgium.[5][6] The party originated in the split in 1972 of the unitary Christian Social Party (PSC-CVP), which had been the country's governing party for much of the post-war period. It continued to be called the Christian Social Party (French: Parti Social Chrétien, PSC) until 2002 when it was renamed the Humanist Democratic Centre (French: Centre Démocrate Humaniste, CDH). It took its current name on 17 March 2022,[7] and currently does not participate in any government.
