Coup de théâtre at Antwerp Open Vld: alderman Erica Caluwaerts leaves party and wants to continue with new liberal movement

The board of Open Vld Groot-Antwerpen would appoint the party leader for the municipal elections on Tuesday evening. But before the meeting even started, Erica Caluwaerts, the only liberal alderman in Antwerp, threw a ‘bomb’: she is turning her back on Open Vld. “I will continue with a real Antwerp liberal movement,” she said. “There is a whole group ready that is growing every day.”
