The government was led 1979–92 by a Flemish Catholic, Wilfried Martens, who – working closely with King Baudouin – led a predominantly centre-right government with the Liberals.
Martens resigned after the November 1991 elections, but was persuaded to carry on as caretaker prime minister until March 1992 when, on the request of the king, the deputy prime minister Jean-Luc Dehaene, also a Flemish Catholic, formed a new coalition in alliance with the Socialists.
In September 1992, the government agreed, in principle, to introduce a federal system of government, based on Flemish-speaking Flanders, French-speaking Wallonia, and the national capital, Brussels.
