About Leo Tindemans

Leonard Clemence "Leo" Tindemans was a Belgian politician. He served as the prime minister of Belgium from 25 April 1974 until he resigned as minister on 20 October 1978. He was a member of the Christian Democratic and Flemish party. In 1968, Tindemans became minister tasked with the relations between the communities (1968–1972), during which he prepared the first constitutional reform, which saw Belgium start transforming into a federal state.
