Intimates say goodbye to Hugo Camps: “When we said goodbye, we were two tough guys who had become small mollusks”

Columnist and journalist Hugo Camps has died at the age of 79 in his hometown of Knokke. With this, not only Het Laatste Nieuws says goodbye to a journalistic icon. His intimates also reminisce about a “salon rebel and rascal” and “one of the most colorful figures the Belgian press has produced”. “Before he died he said to me: ‘Something has to be done about the loneliness of the people.’ He was of course right.”
