Julien Lahaut
Julien Lahaut was a prominent Belgian communist leader known for his outspoken opposition to King Leopold III during the post-World War II period. He became a central figure in the political turmoil surrounding the king's controversial return to Belgium in 1950. Lahaut's fierce advocacy for republicanism culminated in a dramatic moment during a parliamentary session where he reportedly shouted 'Vive la République!', sparking outrage among royalists. Tragically, just days later, he was assassinated at his home, an event that many believe was linked to his political stance and the intense national unrest at the time.
