Pierre Harmel |
 | | When the 1954 elections brought to power a coalition of Socialists and Liberals, the new Education Minister, Paul Collard[?], immediately set out to reverse the measures taken by his predecessor, sparking mass protests by the Catholic bloc. |
 | | A compromise was eventually found by the next government (a Catholic minority government led by Gaston Eyskens), and the "School War" was concluded by the November 6, 1958 School Pact. |
 | | Pierre Harmel was Minister of Justice in the second government led by Gaston Eyskens (June 23, 1958 - November 6, 1958), and then Minister of Culture (November 6, 1958 - September 3, 1960) and Minister of the Civil Service (September 3, 1960 - April 25, 1961) in the third Eyskens cabinet. |
