Spaak III government

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Spaak III government was in office in Belgium from March 20, 1947 to November 19, 1948. The previous government of Prime Minister Camille Huysmans broke up over a conflict over coal prices and the government's attitude towards mining companies, which led to the resignation of the communist ministers. The socialist Paul-Henri Spaak formed a new government made up of socialists ( PSB / BSP ) and Christian democrats ( PSC / CVP ). In November 1948, Justice Minister Struye resigned, who was accused of being too lenient in punishing colloborateurs. The entire government announced its resignation out of solidarity. The successor government was again a coalition of socialists and Christian Democrats under Prime Minister Spaak.
