The fact that Jean-Marie Dedecker is the party leader for N-VA in West Flanders in the upcoming elections – and with that choice dealt the death blow to the relaunch of Lijst Dedecker at national level, which many had dreamed of – has everything to do with Egbert Lachaert, the ex- chairman of Open Vld. Dissatisfied with the state of affairs in his party, Lachaert wanted to switch to the new LDD, but at the last minute he withdrew his tail, causing Dedecker to quit. This is reported by ‘Humo’. “Egbert has bet on three horses: LDD, the N-VA and Open Vld. In the end he stayed in his own stable.”
