Farewell to Hugo Camps. “’A column is a kind of testament to me’, he told me”

“Kiss, my dear friend”. With those words Hugo Camps (79) ended every conversation and every message. Our editor-in-chief Brecht Decaestecker says goodbye to the best Flemish columnist of all time, a journalistic icon, a mentor, a great observer, a Burgundian and a good friend. “A column is a kind of will for me. If I don’t believe it has eternal value, then it doesn’t have to.”
