Jean-Marie Dedecker once met President Putin: “If I get hold of him now, I’ll squeeze his throat” | showbiz

We meet Jean-Marie Dedecker in his office in the town hall of Middelkerke. The mayor of the coastal municipality welcomes us with soup. “Because at 11 o’clock we all drink soup here,” he says in PRIMO. “My dear secretary will be happy to bring it. Can I still say that: ‘My dear secretary? Because nowadays a person can’t say anything anymore, right? Before you know it, you’re in a MeToo situation.” (grins)
