Talk:Albert De Vleeschauwer

Foundation of what party?

Hello,

A recent adition had stated without sources that De Vleeschauwer co-founded a "Catholic Peoples' Party" (KVP) in 1936. There has not, according to any source I've been able to find, ever been a party of that name in Belgium. The only similar thing I can find is the "Catholic Union of Belgium" (KVB) founded in 1936, but absolutely no mention of De Vleeschauwer in connection with it. In any case, it would be odd to reconcile this with his membership of the Catholic Party (Belgium) at the same time...

On another note, please be careful with POV in additions to this article. A recent chunk added had him personally directing the Belgian war effort, the rest of the Belgian government, the Congo and the "rightful" (!) return to the throne of Leopold III...

De Vleeschauwer co-founded (that is: he belonged to the first 'presidium') of the KVV, which stands for Katholieke Vlaamsche Volkspartij. It was not a completely independent party, but the Flemish wing of the Catholic Union, which, in 1936 endowed itself with a French-speaking wing as well: PCS (Parti Catholique Social)/ All this is described in great detail in "Ik Alleen!", a biography of De Vleeschauwer, published in Dutch in 2012 (Houtekiet Publishers, Antwerp) The book also gives a description of De Vleeschauwer's real role within the Belian Government in Exile in London. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.178.127.174 (talk) 20:01, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
