The Christian Democratic People's Party of Switzerland (CVP) is a centrist political party in Switzerland, founded in 1912. It aims to represent the interests of the Christian community and promote social justice, family values, and a strong economy. The party emphasizes the importance of federalism and local governance in Swiss politics. The CVP has historically been one of the major parties in the Swiss political landscape, participating in the Federal Council, the country's executive branch. In recent years, the party has rebranded itself as the Centre Party to appeal to a broader electorate while maintaining its core values.
