Product Description
Wilfried Martens is one of the most distinguished politicians to come from Belgium in the last ffty years. In his long political career, he has always fought for the implementation of his goals with passion and deep conviction. What has to be mentioned frst in this context is his sucessful advocacy of federalism in his home country, Belgium. Already in his time as chair of the CVP youth league from 1967 to 1972, groundbreaking manifestos on Belgium’s federation were written under his auspices. Later on, as President of the CVP, he succeeded in negotiating the Egmont Pact, whose essential elements form part of today’s federal Belgian constitution.
He served as Prime Minister for more than a decade, and in this role he convinced the regions and linguistic groups of his country, which were often at odds with each other, of the necessity for cooperation and solidarity.
