=== Foundation of a new party=== In 1961, [[Omer Vanaudenhove]], leader of the Liberal Party, reorganised it into the Partij voor Vrijheid en Vooruitgang/Parti de la Liberté et du Progrès (PVV/PLP). The new party, among other things, jettisoned the Liberals' traditional [[anti-clericalism]]. In 1965, the party obtained a victory in the general elections with 21.6% of the votes. In 1966, the PVV joined the government of [[Paul Vanden Boeynants]]. The liberal ministers during this period were [[Willy De Clercq]], [[Jacques Van Offelen]], [[Frans Grootjans]], [[Herman Vanderpoorten]], [[Charles Poswick]] and [[August De Winter]].
