Spaak IV government

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Spaak IV government was in office in Belgium from November 27, 1948 to June 27, 1949. 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 Spaak IV government was again a coalition of socialists ( PSB / BSP ) and Christian Democrats ( PSC / CVP ), the composition of which was largely identical to that of its previous government. After the parliamentary elections in 1949 , the Christian Democrat Gaston Eyskens formed a new government made up of Christian Democrats and Liberals ( PL / LP ).
