Description

In Okegem near Ninove the ideas of the Daensist movement arose. This is no coincidence, because since the 1880s there has been an organized current of Christian Flemish and anti-socialist middle-class and intellectuals. The members called themselves the Roelanders, after their weekly Klokke Roeland. Boon describes how Pieter Daens and the Roelanders first met in April 1893 in a 'cellar room' of a small inn at the Okegem station. It was at this meeting that the Christian People's Party was founded. Peter's brother, priest Adolf Daens, later became the figurehead of the movement.
