Aftermath
[edit]A by-election in Grevenmacher was soon organised for 27 July, as Victor Schoren, one of the Grevenmacher Deputies, had been appointed commissioner of the district of Grevenmacher.[3]
Another by-election had to be organised for Vianden, as Adolphe Pauly soon resigned; the election date was set for 15 November. This resulted in the election of Camille Dumont, who was supported by the Blochausen government.[4]
