Jean Pirmez (Châtelineau, 13 October 1795 - 11 September 1864) was a member of the Belgian National Congress and Parliamentary Representative. Lifecycle
Pirmez was the son of François-Edouard-Jos Pirmez, mayor of Thuin and of Rosalie Wyart. He was the oldest of their eight children. The family thanked his social walk to the forefather Edouard Pirmez.
When Jean Pirmez was six, his father died, the six-thirty widow left behind with the eight children. She succeeded in delivering a decent education. Jean did his secondary studies at the Namen College and then went to the University of Leuven where he studied law. From 1820 to 1825 he was Mayor of Châtelineau. From 1818 to 1830 he was a member of the provincial states of Hainaut.
In 1830, with his brothers Victor and Benjamin, he took charge of the volunteers in Châtelet and Châtelineau. Armed with guns, forks and peaks, they went to Marcinelle to fight the government troops supposed to come to Charleroi from their barracks in Philippeville. While Victor Pirmez organized an organization, Jean was elected for the Charleroi district, to sit in the National Congress, with his brother Sylvain Pirmez as deputy (who has not had to seat). On January 8, 1831, Pirmez held a long reason for the arguments he had to elect the King of France in a personal union as king of the Belgians. When this was impossible, he again used the chair to fight the candidacy of the Duke of Leuchtenberg and recommend that of the Duke of Nemours. It was therefore for him that he cast his voice. When this did not work, he voted for Surlet the Chokier as a reign. Beginning in June 1831 he voted for Leopold of Saxony Coburg and accepted the Treaty of XVIII articles.
At the first parliamentary elections, Jean Pirmez, who belonged to the moderate liberal opinion, was elected as a public representative, whose role he continuously pursued until 1856. He was succeeded by his cousin Eudore Pirmez in this mandate. He was an active MP who participated many times in public sessions. When the treaty of the XXIV articles had to be approved in 1838, he gave all reasons why he was seriously giving his approval, but it did.
He lived with his brother Auguste and his sister Hyacinth: all three remained single. Literature Also see
