INTERVIEW. After his coming out and the complaints, Vooruit chairman Conner Rousseau speaks for the first time: “No, I am not relieved”

After three months of silence, Vooruit chairman Conner Rousseau (30) is ‘back in business’. He speaks openly for the first time about his coming out – “I’m having a hard time, yes. Should I pretend then?” – and about the shadow that hung over it: the judicial investigation into inappropriate behavior. “If a boundary is crossed, you have to report it. That didn’t happen to me. I didn’t cross the line.”
