Biography
[edit]Professionally Jean Pede was a notary, in a long line of notaries, from his father's as well as from his mother's side.
From February 1985 to October 1988, he was Flemish minister of internal affairs and urban planning.
He was time-long burgomaster of Bottelare (1959–1976) and of Merelbeke (1977–1982 and 1989–1994), and also Provincial Council member of East Flanders.
He was a member of the Belgian Federal Parliament:
- from 1965 to 1971 as a member of the Chamber of Representatives,
- from 1971 tot 1995 as a senator.
These mandates made him automatically a member of the Flemish Council and he was its chair from 1981 to 1985, and again a few months in 1988. [citation needed]
