  • Souvenirs D'un Militant Liberal
    1 SOUVENIRS D'UN MILITANT LIBERAL. 2 Coordonnées Nom: VAN UFFELEN Jacques Lieu et date de naissance: Tirlemont, 5 janvier 1929 Adresse: Avenue Christophe Plantin, 2 1340 Ottignies Profession: Traducteur - directeur retraité au Secrétariat général de l'Union économique Benelux et à la Cour de Justice Benelux. 3 Préface de Louis Michel. C'est avec beaucoup de plaisir et d'intérêt que je me suis plongé dans la lecture de l'ouvrage de Jacques Van Uffelen. Homme de plume, militant convaincu, libéral non conformiste, Jacques Van Uffelen a mis au service du libéralisme tout son talent, toute son intelligence, toute sa créativité pour défendre avec ardeur et chaleur dans les feuilles libérales les vertus du libéralisme. Il a mis son art au service du libéralisme pour convaincre l'opinion publique que le "parti libéral est foncièrement social, qu'il prône non pas la lutte des classes comme le socialisme, mais la solidarité des classes". Jacques Van Uffelen a retracé avec une rare précision l'évolution du libéralisme. Il rappelle que, même avant la création du parti libéral, les idées libérales étaient déjà largement diffusées car tous les Belges sont attachés aux libertés constitutionnelles. Jacques Van Uffelen nous fait revivre les grands courants de la pensée libérale, la rénovation du parti, les combats d'idées, les réflexions de grandes personnalités comme Maurice Allais, Salvador de Madariaga, Albert Devèze, Roger Motz, Paul Hymans, Omer Vanoudenhove, Jean Rey. Ces derniers et bien d'autres ont fait évoluer le libéralisme, du libéralisme manchestérien ou laissez-fairisme au néo- libéralisme ou libéralisme humaniste. Ces hommes ont eu le mérite de clarifier la position des libéraux par rapport à la notion d'Etat qui garantit les bienfaits de la liberté.

  • Belgian Polities in 1985 « No T Urning Back » *
    Belgian Polities in 1985 « No T urning Back » * by Jozef SMITS, Licentiate in Polltical Science. * Belgian politica! life in 1985 was completely dominated by the parliamentary elections, for the Christian-Democrat and Liberal coalition under the leadership of Wilfried Martens (CVP) was in its last year. The Martens V government almost succeeded in completing the parliamentary term as it bas intended. They Heysel drama caused an unexpected rupture in the cabinet, so elections were set for October, while normally they would have been held in December. The electoral battle was completely dominated by the three major politica! families : on the one side, the Christian Democrats and the Liberals, who defended the recovery policy of the previous four years based on a transfer of financial resources from individuals to businesses ; on the other side were the Socialists, who stressed the negative effects of the « income cutback » policy. The polarization of the electoral campaign was symbolized the most clearly by the campaign of the largest majority party. With the slogan Geen Ommekeer (No Turning Back) and with outgoing Premier Martens as the figurehead, the CVP tried to com­ municate to the electorate that there was no alternative to the unpopular socio-economie recovery policy and that this policy had to be continued in order to solve the country's problems definitively. Against expectations and to its own astonishment, the majority emerged strengthened from the ballot box. Consequently, nothing stood in the way of a new edition of Martens V, and on 28 November, the new Christian-Democrat/Liberal government was formed. Wilfried Martens again had the leadership of • A part of the information given in this article is taken from the article written by M.

    Federale Overheidsdienst Financiën - België Documentatieblad 71e jaargang, nr. 4, 4e kwartaal 2011 Het beleid, het profiel en de loopbaan van de ministers die Financiën bestuurden tijdens de periode september 1944 tot 2011 Aloïs VAN DE VOORDE (*) Eresecretaris-generaal van het Ministerie van Financiën AA B BS T S R TA CR T A C T This study is a survey concerned with the twenty Belgian Ministers of Finance since the liberation in September 1944 till the end of 2011. After a introduction it opens with Camille Gutt, who was Finance Minis- ter in the postwar Pierlot government, and closes with Didier Reynders. Attention is paid to the policies the ministers involved adopted, to their impor- tance and profile (social and educational background, including their occupa- tion), as well as their political and professional careers and th functions they carried out after their term of office. The most problematic events and issues they had to face during their term of office are particularly highlighted. The survey ends with a summary of the major facts and some concluding remarks, among others the profile of these former ministers, duration and stability of their term of office, the impact of the most influential collaborators, the turning points and evolution of Belgian finance during the 1944-2011 period.

  • Citations De Personnalités Belges Et Françaises (Liste Non Exhaustive)
    Le rattachement à la France : citations de personnalités belges et françaises (liste non exhaustive) Jacques ATTALI, ancien conseiller du Président François Mitterrand « A mon sens, sans faire campagne pour le rattachement de la Wallonie, la France devra bientôt dire publiquement que, si, par malheur, la Belgique venait à se défaire, cela pourrait être de son intérêt d’accueillir la Wallonie et de voir accorder à Bruxelles un statut de district européen, indépendant de la Flandre. Le prix à payer pour la France serait sûrement plus faible que ce que cela lui rapporterait, ne serait-ce que par l’augmentation de ses droits de vote dans les institutions européennes. C’est un beau débat. Qu’il commence !!!!! » (L'Espress – 9 septembre 2008) Jean-Pierre CHEVENEMENT, ancien Ministre de la République « Je me sens proche de vous de vos questions et de vos inquiétudes. Je pense que dans l'avenir nous aurons beaucoup de choses à faire ensemble. La position officielle des autorités françaises est de ne pas prendre position. Naturellement, le gouvernement respecte les traités qu'il a signés. On pourrait appliquer à la Wallonie le propos que M. Juppé a appliqué au Québec : « Quel que soit le choix du peuple québécois il trouvera la France à ses côtés ». Je ne suis pas venu à Liège prôner le rattachement. Le rattachement est un choix qui appartient essentiellement aux Wallons et dans lequel je ne veux pas m'immiscer. Naturellement j'ai de l'amitié pour les Wallons. Je comprends leur situation géographique culturelle, je dirai presque par affinité. Quel que soit votre choix futur, nous serons à vos côtés.
