Candidate chairman of Open Vld after fuss surrounding statements: “If Vlaams Belang endorses our values, the path to more is open”
“I think we should talk to Vlaams Belang.” This is what candidate chairman for Open Vld, Bert Schelfhout, says in an interview with the Krant van West-Vlaanderen. He does not believe that a coalition with the extreme right-wing party is possible, but he does believe that it should be possible “if they want to implement our program.” On X the liberal clarifies his positions. “The systematic exclusion of people is what Vlaams Belang does. I don’t want to make that same mistake.”
