Timeline
Paul Emile François Henri Vanden Boeynants (, ; 22 May 1919 – 9 January 2001) was a Belgian politician.
In Flanders, Belgium, it reached the 28th place in the Radio 2 hitparade at the time for one week.
Active as a businessman in the meat industry, he was a Representative for the PSC-CVP between 1949 and 1979.
From 1961 to 1966 he led the Christian democrat PSC-CVP (which was in those days a single party).
He led the CEPIC, its conservative fraction.
He served as the prime minister of Belgium for two brief periods (1966–68 and 1978–79).
Vanden Boeynants (called "VDB" by journalists) was born in Forest / Vorst, a municipality now in the Brussels-Capital Region.
In 1966, he became Prime Minister of Belgium; he stayed in this post for two years.
From 1972-1979 he served as minister of defense.
In 1978–1979 he led another Belgian government.
Vanden Boeynants then served as chairman of the PSC (1979-1981).
Convicted in 1986 for fraud and tax evasion, Vanden Boeynants was given a suspended jail sentence of three years.
This prevented him from pursuing mayoral aspirations in Brussels.
In an incident that is still the subject of dispute, Vanden Boeynants was kidnapped on 14 January 1989 by members of the Haemers criminal gang.
Three days later, the criminals published a note in the leading Brussels newspaper Le Soir, demanding 30 million Belgian francs in ransom.
Vanden Boeynants was released unharmed a month later, on 13 February, when an undisclosed ransom was paid to the perpetrators.
The gang members were caught and imprisoned.
The kidnapping was referenced in a 1989 novelty song by the New Beat band Brussels Sound Revolution called "Qui...?", which featured samples from the press conference Vanden Boeynants gave after his kidnapping.
It was a hit on both sides of the Belgian language border.
He underwent a political rehabilitation during the early 1990s.
Patrick Haemers, the head of the gang, died from suicide in prison, and two members of his gang managed to escape from the St Gillis Prison in 1993.
He left politics in 1995, and died in 2001.
One of his famous expressions, in a unique mixture of Dutch and French, was:
Trop is te veel en te veel is trop.
("too many is too much and too much is too many").
