Some residents do not think that Vanderjeugd is not allowed to exercise a mandate for ten years. “Everyone can make a mistake, but everyone deserves a second chance. He did a lot for the municipality and he was a good mayor,” says one of the residents of Staden.
Others find that he was in his own hands. “If you burn your hole you have to sit on the blisters. He should have been smarter, because he was a figure who was pretty much liked in Staden.”
