Along with Paul Goossens, Walter De Bock and Herwig Lerouge, he began to mobilise fellow students along progressive and internationalist lines. So he became active in KVHV, the Catholic Union of Flemish Students in Higher Education. His heart, however, was in struggle, the cause of liberation. In 1965 he entered Louvain University to study medicine, which promised him the career of an excellent doctor.
These skills, acquired in early years, were to stay with him and serve him well. He had a keen interest in music and poetry. At school he showed great flair for languages and became editor of a newspaper. Early lifeīorn in 1946, Ludo was the eldest son of a furniture manufacturer he grew up in the small town of Wingene, West Flanders, Belgium. We send our heartfelt condolences to his children, to his family, and to the PTB for this irreparable loss. He is survived by two children – his daughter Amada and son Yakobu. On the afternoon of Sunday 5 June 2011, Comrade Ludo Martens, the founding president of the Workers’ Party of Belgium (PTB) passed away.
