Madonna Poupehan fallen

Fallen Madonna in Poupehan.

The village of Poupehan is best known in Belgian politics because Fons Verplaetse (former governor of the National Bank of Belgium) had a country residence there. According to journalist Hugo De Ridder, a small committee negotiated between 1982 and 1987.

Poupehan's "gang" consisted of then Prime Minister Wilfried Martens, ACV union leader Jef Houthuys, then BAC President Hubert Detremmerie and Fons Verplaetse. Between 1982 and 1987, the four secretly planned the recovery of the Belgian economy after the recession of the early 1980s, including (under pressure from the IMF) a 22 February 1982 devaluation of the Belgian franc . Poupehans deliberations to overthrow the government of Martens VI. have contributed.

Does the fallen Madonna symbolize the fall of Martens?
