‘A holy alliance against poverty’ from La Dernière Heure (30 April 1948)
Text On 30 April 1948, as Belgium ratifies the Treaty of Brussels establishing Western Union, the Belgian liberal daily newspaper La Dernière Heure deplores the futile opposition of the Communist Party during the parliamentary debates and considers the fight against poverty as one of the essential tasks of Western Union and of a future united Europe.
