The New Year’s reception of Voka West Flanders will take place in Kortrijk Xpo. There, the seven party leaders will be presented with several economic themes in the first leading debate before the Flemish elections. The debate lasts approximately one and a half hours.
The seven party leaders in West Flanders are Hilde Crevits (CD&V), Sander Loones (N-VA), Jasper Pillen (Open VLD), Pablo Annys (Vooruit), Immanuel De Reuse (Vlaams Belang), Jeremie Vaneeckhout (Groen) and Ilona Vandenberghe (PVDA). Hilde Crevits is forced to be replaced because she is suffering from back problems.
