The Workers' Party of Belgium (Dutch: Partij van de Arbeid van België, PVDA, French: Parti du Travail de Belgique, PTB) is a Marxist political party in Belgium. It is one of the few parties that operates as a single Belgian party. Most other parties are either Flemish or Francophone.
The PVDA-PTB hosts the International Communist Seminar, which in recent years has become one of the main worldwide gatherings of communist parties.

Famous quotes containing the word party:
“When the doctrine of allegiance to party can utterly up-end a man’s moral constitution and make a temporary fool of him besides, what excuse are you going to offer for preaching it, teaching it, extending it, perpetuating it? Shall you say, the best good of the country demands allegiance to party? Shall you also say it demands that a man kick his truth and his conscience into the gutter, and become a mouthing lunatic, besides?”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
