Who was Omer Vanaudenhove?

Omer Rudolphe Jean, Viscount Vanaudenhove was a Belgian liberal politician, mayor and minister. A businessman, Vanaudenhove was an owner of a shoe factory. He was burgomaster of Diest, liberal senator, president of the Liberal Party and president and founder of the PVV-PLP.

In the new party programme of the PVV-PLP, the traditional anticlericalism of the liberal party was renounced. This new organization achieved success at the parliamentary elections of 1965 and gained 48 seats. Vanaudenhove was a proponent of a unitary Belgium and a unitarian PVV-PLP, but the tendency towards a federal state became unstoppable by the end of the sixties. Vanaudenhove was minister of public work and rebuilding between 1955–1958 and 1958-1961.
