Leburton I government
The Leburton I government was in office in Belgium from January 26, 1973 to October 23, 1973. After the parliamentary elections in 1971 , Prime Minister Gaston Eyskens formed a three-party government made up of Christian Democrats and Socialists. After the proposed solution for resolving the language dispute in Fourons was declared unconstitutional by the State Council and conflicts arose among the coalition parties, Prime Minister Eyskens resigned on November 22, 1972. The five-party government formed by the Walloon socialist Edmond Leburton on January 26, 1973 included the Flemish ( CVP ) and Walloon Christian Democrats ( PSC ), the Socialists ( BSP-PSB ) and the Flemish ( PVV ) and Walloon ( PLP ) liberals . The government consisted of 22 ministers and 14 state secretaries. With the two state secretaries Irène Pétry and Maria Verlackt-Gevaert , two women belonged to a Belgian government for the first time. On October 23, 1973 the government was reshuffled. The successor government was again composed of Christian Democrats, Socialists and Liberals.
