Daniel Ducarme
Daniel Ducarme (French pronunciation: [danjɛl dykaʁm]; 8 March 1954, Liège – 28 August 2010[1]) was a Belgian politician and former Minister-President of the Brussels-Capital Region.The PRL merged with its centre-right partners to create the Reformist Movement (MR) in 2002, which Ducarme led as president.[2] In 2003 he replaced his MR colleague François-Xavier de Donnéa as Minister-President of the Brussels-Capital Region, provoking considerable resentment among parties representing the Flemish-speaking community as he was essentially a monoglot Francophone, unlike his predecessors as Minister-President.Ducarme resigned in 2004 following allegations of improprieties by the newspaper L'Avenir concerning his tax affairs.[5] In apparent compensation he was appointed by Reynders to represent the MR as a roving ambassador abroad.
